Correction: Twitter is removing the block feature so that tweets can reach the full audience...
how is this a good idea? Even lemmy has a "block" feature on like day 1
Day 1 lol. Lemmy have been in development for more than 3 years. It's just now that reddit got to suck even more lemmy and other alternatives got their opportunity.
Wow. He really is a tool.
Elons probably tired of everyone blocking him. If everyone blocks him, then no one can with this new “feature” lol
One step away from A Clockwork Orange where users' eyes will be held open so they are forced to see fashy-curious content
When toxic idiots on Twitter drive everyone off, they'll be the only ones left.
Then they'll turn on each other, harassing bots and trolls who'll scream that nothing's being done because they are being dragged.
Then when only the most toxic are left, and they have no one else to intimidate, harass, or make miserable; they'll leave.
he's pissed because people started installing browser extensions like Block The Blue
It keeps getting worse it's almost funny
LOL that is probably because I've been blocking Elon's profile for a while now. I'm pretty sure this has to do with his profile being blocked by more and more people.
Bro it's like he WANTS us to only see t shirt ads
3rd-party Twitter clients are going to have quite a spike in popularity then, just need to implement clientside blocking. It won't prevent the person blocked from seeing your posts, but that's kind of impossible to enforce on a public platform, anyway.
Twitter is killing those, too: https://www.theverge.com/2023/1/22/23564460/twitter-third-party-apps-history-contributions
How in the world is that a good idea...
This level of nob gobbling takes focus.
I only see this as going well for him/Twitter.
Not really, it’s definitely going to be interesting to watch it go up in flames 🍿
Is this meant to be the final response to #BlocktheBlue
LOL, WHAT?! That's absolutely stupid.
