I SHOULD KEEP MY DUMB MOUTH SHUT INSTEAD OF SPEWING HORSESHIT ABOUT THE ORBITAL MECHANICS OF THE JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT A LAGRANGE POINT IS?

That third panel of the first comic just makes it. It's still funny if you remove it, but that panel included just makes it top tier.

I think the people who don’t get why blocking should be bidirectional (ie impacting both the experience for the blocker and the blocked) should consider an imperfect analogy to online dating apps.

If there is someone on a dating app who is making my experience unpleasant (or worse), I don’t only want to block them so I don’t see their profile or receive their messages. I want them to have their ability to view my profile completely removed. It makes the app safer and reduces the chance of unpleasantness. Could they make a new profile and find me again? Sure they can. But adding as much friction as possible to the identified account seems like table stakes for a function like “block”.


On a completely unrelated question, why hasn’t Elon removed community notes? Are there a bunch of libs getting owned in community notes that just don’t get shared ITT? Because from what I see it is so disproportionately used to fact check chuds (including Elon) that I can’t fathom why he’s allowed it to persist as a feature.

The difference is that, on Twitter, we're talking about people engaging with your content on your profile, much like something like Instagram or whatever. So it makes absolute sense that you should have some control over who can poo poo post on your profile/content, who can be a part of your community.

A forum like SA is a completely different dynamic.

Of course no one should be using Twitter anymore anyway so who cares, but that's the answer.

It's nice that you and some others take the time to reasonably explain the issue instead of dogpiling one poster for not understanding something imo. I too had trouble understanding the dynamic here and if you just casually look on twitter occasionally for some dumb cats, this wasn't all that obvious i think. Maybe thats dumb idk, but a couple of freaks here starting to imply someone is a creep for this should eat sixers.

Like, the problem is that twitter is run badly by an absolute fuckass moron with bad intentions.

That one idiot had it explained to them, simply and thoroughly, over and for several pages while they completely ignored everyone.

They were either being totally disingenuous or are just loving stupid.

Ok, i personally didn't think this was one of them, seeing as in this very thread people also didn't understand the difference between mutes and blocks, until it was explained, and Elon doesn't either it seems.

e; Regardless, what irked me was some of the language that got thrown at them.
