Microblogging website Twitter have enabled users to share block lists as of yesterday.

This new feature makes blocking multiple accounts easy, fast and community driven, according to a statement released by Twitter.

The statement said the new feature would help users who experience high volumes of unwanted interactions on Twitter.

“You can now export and share your block lists with people in your community facing similar issues or import another user’s list into your own account and block multiple accounts all at once, instead of blocking them individually. We also hope these advanced blocking tools will prove useful to the developer community to further improve users’ experience,” reads the statement.

To export or import a list of blocked accounts, navigate to the blocked accounts settings on twitter.com. Click on the advanced options drop-down menu and select the action you want to take. To download a list of your blocked accounts, select the export option and confirm the accounts you want to export.

Last December, Twitter launched the blocked accounts settings page and tightened the rules so accounts once blocked can’t view the profile of the person blocking them. In April, the company announced additional policy and enforcement changes.

Twitter said it was also working on additional user controls to enhance the tweeting experience.
