i have like 500 people in my Twitter block list :|
Why are you still on the website at all
If you want to follow artists and avoid all the right wing Nazis, 500 blocks is about the right number to keep your feed clear.
I personally block about 10,000 and comment vociferously on right wing threads, just so WatermElon Musk has to spend $$$ to present threads without my comments in the right-wing echo chamber. Block lists are fairly database-search intensive.
To block people. Duh.
Lmao, of course. Silly me
I had over 900 by the time I deleted my account. Twitter would have been unusable without the block feature for me.
removed by mod
Even if it really didn’t make sense, wouldn’t it be more sensible to… Idk… Just leave it alone and not spend the time to get rid of it? Lol
I really hope they don’t go back on this because it’s really going to damage their bottom line and I have popcorn to eat
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.
Working as intended. Musk isn’t half as smart as he thinks he is, but he’s still not stupid enough to think it will play out any way.
He wants to ensure far-right voices are heard and that any opposition to them is bullied off the platform.
There is no need to give him the benefit of the doubt just because he doesn’t admit it out loud. Actions speak louder than words and every action he has taken has pandered to the far-right.
Agreed. Twitter will just be another extreme right shithole.
It’s such a shame. Twitter has been around for so long and had been vital for many peoples careers and connections. I hate what he’s done with it. =(
Everytime I think the platform can’t get any worse this guy proves me wrong the next week.
Yeah, being able to deny communications to people makes no sense. What is harassment?
This is what it sounds like when a severely divorced person screams, “WHY WON’T THIS FUCKING COMPANY FAIL!!! I’M DOING EVERYTHING I CAN TO ELIMINATE THIS THREAT AND IT WON’T DIE!”
Unreal. It’s not even incompetence, he really is just tanking the site on purpose.
All i know is mastodon better be ready for a fresh batch of twitter refugees washing up on the shores of the fediverse as well as bluesky all so f meta nobody go there
well ya. musk paid a lot of money to those blue checks posting CSAM. what’s the point if you can just block the pedos?
Just when I thought that he can’t do anything dumber than the name change or paid verifications…
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.
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.
This is incredibly consistent with the “free speech” crowd thinking free speech entitles you to an audience.
