"Another change is coming to Block in that blocked users will be able to see public posts"

Elon knows his core fanbase: Frequently-blocked Reply Guy chuds.

We just call them stalkers.

“X (formerly X)” is pretty funny

They did a Find/Replace to turn all the "Twitter" into "X" huh

The Social Media platform formerly known as X.

Prince had a great reason for that whole thing. Musk is just an incompetent loser.

Can't believe they actually did Ctrl + H in Word and set it to find and replace all "Twitter" with "X".

This will be the final nail in the coffin for Twitter. Their already tepid block system was the only thing that made it useable when I was still using it
Avatar
Has Elon forgotten that a block button is a prerequisite for any social media network to be on the app store?
Avatar
Yes. Yes he has forgotten this. The reason why is Ketamine is a hell of a drug.
Avatar
No, he just doesn't feel silly things like "rules", "agreements", or "contracts" apply to him.

so, blocking someone will be entirely useless.
Avatar
Just like Musk himself.
Avatar
What are "public posts" Are those just tweets So blocking just mutes someone now? Great, this *should* violate app store/Google play safety policies
Avatar
You will be forced to lock your account to be able to actually block people. Until locking becomes a “premium feature” at least

I'm dying at "X (formerly X)"

I mean this is as close to fully removing blocking, which is what hes wanted this whole time hes pissy that people can block him at all so hes been trying desperately to make that impossible
Avatar
He’s the most famous person that has no emotional intelligence skills whatsoever. Like walk away from the keyboard dude—- you’re insecurities are showing
Avatar
his insecurities will always show because theyre all that he is he has nothing else he isnt a whole person he is just those things
Avatar
👊🏻🐾✔️ we both agree 100%
Avatar
doesn’t this violate App Store guidelines?
Avatar
I think his intent is to still *technically* have something called a block so he can avoid being booted from the app store, but make it meaningless
Avatar
This says absolutely nothing about what kind of a person he is and is catering to. Nothing at all. Nope.

Handling rejection, step 1: buy a social media..

No one with a slight bit of common sense is still there.
Avatar
I know people still there and this statement is correct.
Avatar
Ahh, enabling Stalkers in addition to fascists, bigots and nazis. Quite the bold strategy…
Avatar
…thereby defeating one of the primary uses for blocks. It’s 100% intentional. He wants users to be able to attack one another without any pesky technological limits.
Avatar
Ah... I hope Bluesky introduces private accounts so that I can fully jump ship. This is definitely the nail in the coffin for my interest in using Twitter.
Avatar
People will attribute this kind of move to stupidity but the guy is just straight up doing a Cambridge Analytica 2 on a much, much wider scale by making the platform as extremist as possible now.
Avatar
Given that this is effectively eliminating the block button this might actually be what kills twitter.
Avatar
Does this break app store rules? I thought he tried something like this previously and was shut down
Avatar
He's gonna make it impossible to not be subjected to garbage bluecheck takes isn't he?
Avatar
Avatar
This basically misses the entire point of the block button
Avatar
Bros mad cuz most of us blocked him
Avatar
Next up: "We have updated blocking users so that you can still interact with blocked users."
Avatar
Well that just seems ripe for abuse. Another genius move by the Muskoxen.
Avatar
Man, he really has zero business running twitter.
Avatar
You know an Elon idea is worse than an Elon idea when you notice that everyone lamenting it are blue checks.
Avatar
Never logging into that hellsite again
Avatar
This may be illegal in some territories.

IIRC Elon at some point said he wants to remove blocking entirely. Which he literally can't do because law. Ngl I think he's making it useless only because he's mad that people keep blocking him lmfao
