And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

A lot of lovely reactionaries are super block happy so I'm guessing they're whining in his DMs about this. Chris Rufo and the Libsoftiktok lady block everyone.

:laffo: getting rid of block will actually kill Twitter. It’s like the key stone feature that makes the hell site viable to use for normal people. The second that’s gone all the Nazi blue checks will just flood people’s replies and because blue checks get sent to the top no matter what, it’ll be the first thing anyone sees under every tweet. Like it’s the dumbest poo poo imaginable

Apple App Store's TOS actually requires social networking apps to have a block function. I'd imagine Google Play Store has a similar requirement

But Im guessing he will back down from this one because all his favorite right-wing pundits are serial blockers and wont like it all

I read this as the app itself has the ability to block/ban people, not that each user can.

Either way lol to the change

Didn’t he say large blocklists break the site and make it expensive for Xitter? No one working their currently probably knows how large number of blocks feeds into account visibility and such.

Anyway, just further destruction of Xitter and I’m here for it. Losing more advertisers and Linda will be blamed for it.

Next he’s going to force everyone to read nazi screeds and other racist, bigoted poo poo because “in the public square” evryone should be heard.
