Hey...what kind of party is this? there's no booze and only one hooker!

But why? What even is the point of having a blocking option if it doesn't block? He's been trying to get rid of blocking for ages and I honestly can't see any reason for it that isn't super disturbing and creepy

The EU needs to poo poo or get off the pot on this. They keep saying they're gonna do it only to back off, and if I'm Musk I'm realizing they have no intention of blocking Xitter, only making public pronouncements, so I can do whatever I want

no because people are lazy as gently caress and even logging out or using private mode is a level of effort most people dont want to do.

just use a different browser for each account. If you have more than like 4 accounts you have a problem and need multiboxing software or something I don't know.

The upside is that Musk will probably not follow through. Same as every other time he's tried to gently caress with blocks

Ian Miles Cheong and the other weirdos he's a reply guy to are all very block happy so there's no way he goes through with this. poo poo Musk blocked me back in the day it's such an odd thing for him to tweet he's against.

Isn't it a requirement on both the Apple and Google app stores that social media apps have a block option? I'm sure that was raised before.

https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/

quote:

1.2 User-Generated Content
Apps with user-generated content present particular challenges, ranging from intellectual property infringement to anonymous bullying. To prevent abuse, apps with user-generated content or social networking services must include:

A method for filtering objectionable material from being posted to the app
A mechanism to report offensive content and timely responses to concerns
The ability to block abusive users from the service
Published contact information so users can easily reach you

The published requirements aren't very detailed. Blocking a user from the service is probably not the same as enabling users to block each other.

I think that's why he's simply making it useless instead of removing it entirely. This way X(formerly X) still "technically" has a block function. He's been sporadically whining about blocking since he made comedy legal again so this is what he finally settled on I guess

he's probably among the most blocked accounts and he sees that "You're blocked" window all the time or something similarly petty

Read the tweet quoting him. He already went through with it. Some clarification:

The wait list is years long at this point so jacking up the price is a reasonable decision. Not that the car is worth it, but someone will probably pay for it
