This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Holy shit. The block feature was the only function that actually worked when dealing with trolls and assholes.
Remove that feature, and the remaining Queer and POC communities are going to be forced off the platform due to the abuse they will not be able to block.
I suspect this is mainly because people with the Blue checks keep crying about getting blocked.
I blocked elon musk long time ago...
I havnt logged into twitter since he bought it though. Cant remember if i dleeted my user
I think this is what's gonna finally end it for Twitter. There has already been a huge increase in harassment/hate, and if people can't block other users spewing that shit, they will actually leave this time
"I'm tired of people blocking me"
Wait did I say that or just think that?
"Wait did I say that or just think that??"
Oh HeyThisIsn'TheYMCA You need more horse stewardesses
I wonder when he says “it makes no sense” if he is just confused by the complexity of it. Because blocking is more complicated than it might seem at first. It introduces issues where different people see different versions of things, and in some ways blocking can be a little like choosing to put your head in the sand regarding someone, but they can still be around, flinging shit at you.
He probably realized that millions of people blocked him and it hurt his ego.
Block makes sense. He knows it makes no sense to remove it. Block has existed on the internet long enough to assume this is completely malicious intent.
Like I flatout refuse to assume he removed a feature used literally everywhere else without ulterior motive. This is just to allow for bad actors to continue to voice themselves without any prevention tools.
That's why I deleted my Twitter. It makes no sense.
I need to block like 5 bot follows and three fake crypto impersonation accounts including me in a retweet daily. This would break the experience completely for me.
i have like 500 people in my Twitter block list :|
Yea no way that's happening. The guy can get away with a lot but burning the entire app to the ground probably has a few legal safeguards.
He literally bought it to try to make a payment processor and be king of the internet.
Only twitter users think twitter is important.
It makes no sense.
I truly can't imagine how this is true. It's such a simple thing to understand.
This is hardly about technology now is it?
It never was 🌎 👩🚀🔫👩🚀
