what is the functional difference between blocking and muting? block prevents their tweets from being loaded at all while mute puts a "this tweet is from somebody you muted" note, or something else?

Muted people can still be on your replies and can still quote rt your tweets

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.

lol thinking of the goon that only posted in coupons that had so many people on his ignore list it broke the forums

Which means either

a) Elon will have his own, exclusive, special boy "block" button

or

b) anyone who shits on his posts or trolls him will get banned or those tweets mysteriously vanish.

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.

Really? I mean a few are (like your examples) but I noted most of them view blocking as a sign of concession and weakness. People who block are triggered cowards, unlike me who is totally Not Triggered by all your commie whining :smug:

Also, I hope it happens so they can unleash The Greg lol

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.

block also makes it so they cant see your posts or interact with them in anyway (no QTs) obviously they can just log out or if you are locked into "followers only" mode, make another account to look at your content but it does make it harder to harass someone

This will never happen because it'll get him kicked from the app stores. But it is funny seeing him reap the consequences of making the site even shittier. People will use the block more when its filled with nazis, scammers, bots, and weird guys who post CP to own the libs.

I'm blocked by a few hundred accounts and every single one is a reactionary - they're terribly thin skinned. And Musk's replies are full of a bunch of them begging him not to go through with the change.

It's a bad move in general but it'd be a lot of fun for me since I use twitter almost exclusively to poo poo on awful people. It's not going to happen just like when blue checks were going to be pay only but then he realized how verification is actually important and backtracked.
