remember when twitter circles were going to be deleted? and when only twitter blue users were going to be able to post polls?

dude just tweets poo poo without talking to anyone and then it doesnt happen

He did change Twitter to "X" though. Dude has been saying for quite some time that he wants to get rid of the block feature.

I truly thought he'd give up trying to get rid of legacy check marks too. I guess it's possible he just ignores that he ever said this and it's possible he removes blocks by Monday

Really glad I just deleted my account the day that prick took over. No lie it was tough not being able to mindlessley scroll for about a week, but you get over it.
I deleted mine not day of but soon after when he started letting all the banned nazis back on. I was surprised how quickly I got over missing it.

all he did was replace a few jpgs and find/replace a few text strings, the site's still functionally twitter, you still go to twitter dot com

i could be proven wrong but i dont believe in the site's ability to implement any real coding/feature changes

The block review board has issued a decision:

Your block request is denied. An unsolicited photo of his penis with your front door in the background does not constitute an explicit threat to your person. Further attempts to block this user will constitute harassment and violent obstruction of their freedom of expression and may result in your account being closed.

And tag you to their followers so they can pile on, the entire intention is targeted harassment by the alt-right. Oh, and since only the worst people on Twitter are "verified" whoever they target gets they replies totally taken over by alt-right trash, it will drive everyone decent off.

Nobody decent is still using Twitter

i would guess they are removing blocking because they couldn't figure out how to fix the performance issues in timeline rendering when you block tons of people that someone found a few months ago lol

someone said it was taxing their infra?

They’re probably removing it because Musk found out he’s the most blocked dude on Twitter and it made him upset

Unlike a lot of substantial site changes, even a pretty know-nothing engineer could fairly easily just remove all buttons and API calls to the blocking functionality. It wouldn’t remove the existing blocklists that users have, but it would prevent any additions to those lists.

This is right in line with right wing talking points around how freedom of speech is essentially “you HAVE to listen to me when I’m talking”

at the same time the right wing guys are mad about this change because they also like blocking people as a free 'i win the argument' button.

would musk going back to barking latin vocab words be more or less cringe from his current posting?

also there should be a betting pool of when his weekend drug posting starts. like this is the 4th or 5th??
