Differences Between Blocking and Deactivating: If someone blocked you on Twitter, you won’t see their profile, tweets, or be able to follow them. You’ll see a message saying you’re blocked. If they deactivated their account, their profile and tweets will be completely missing, and their username will show as unregistered. Check from another account to see if their profile exists; if not, they likely deactivated.
