You aren't entitled to it. Not socially, not in the world, not in social media.
Entitled? No. But everyone who wasn't on that list can see it. I didn't ask to be put on that list, hell, I asked to get off of it and was denied. Bear in mind, I'm railing against the GGAB.
If you just want to "hear from" them, just view their feed on the web when you are logged in. Or create an account that doesn't follow anyone, just uses lists to aggregate feeds. There is no barrier to read-only access to public feeds.
But then it is them and only them. If I want to hear what they are saying within a given feed context, I can't with my prime account. I maintain an alt account that I keep private and never speak with, but I shouldn't have to.
That's the old Gameragate sense of proportion. Well done. Those are totally comparable. Nazi lists, amirite.
I've lost track the number of times I've heard "Gamergate" legitimately compared to ISIS on here. If you mean that within the controversy that is called Gamergate, the sense of proportionality is all messed up, then fair enough. But if the group that you call Gamergate (Which I don't recognize) has no sense of proportionality, then it's applicable VERY easily to the opposition as well.
Pretty simple to grab those with a regex.
Integrating a Regex would still be more sophistication than was put in to the GGAB.
No one owes an explanation for that. There are advantages to a public feed, such as allowing retweets, searchability, and such that easily justify a public feed with curated lists.
And nearly all advantages have to come with disadvantages. And if you say that the GGAB eliminates those disadvantages: No, it doesn't, the disadvantage then just goes to people who never wanted to be blocked. It essentially just transfers X person's problem to Y people's, where X is the amount of GGAB users and Y is the number of those blocked (I think it's around 8,000 now).
Many people do this, and have done this since before GamerGate woke up cranky and threw a tantrum because they can't deal with the complexities of the adult world.
The complexities of the adult world say DON'T FUCK/OWE MONEY TO PEOPLE YOU ARE REPORTING ON AND DON'T ACTIVELY ALIENATE YOUR AUDIENCE.
Again, you aren't entitled. You can ask politely to be unblocked or accept that another person has no obligation to you.
...If they blocked me, how do they know I asked them politely? You know what, I'll actually test this theory!

Now I wait and see....
You seem to have missed the point.
No, I didn't. Efforts to block noise block all noise.
That's pathetic if any of person's self-worth is tied up in whether strangers have blocked you on social media.
More akin to how much I can spread my ideas or change people's minds. But I sincerely doubt that clarification will make you suddenly think I'm not pathetic.
Great, everyone is glad to get more sophisticated tools. As I said.
But the issue is that the old tools are still employed. And still affecting people who shouldn't be.
