‘You’ll listen to nazi propaganda even if we have to shove it down your throat!’
Musk probably
Just when you think he’s run out of stupid decisions to make, he does it again.
Is he on fucking meth?
i’d bet money he takes stimulants. not on which specific one(s) tho.
He’s rich, so if I had to bet I’d say it’s cocaine.
pretty logical guess. wouldn’t surprise me a bit.
Unreal. It’s not even incompetence, he really is just tanking the site on purpose.
Don’t most app stores have terms and conditions that require social media websites to have actual functional block features? Having them only work for DMs doesn’t feel very functional…
- “I don’t want to see content from this person”, legit
- “I don’t want to get notifications about this person’s content”, legit
- “I don’t want this person’s content to be able to link to my profile or use my name”, dubious
- “I want this person to have to log out to see my content”, nonsense
I need to block like 5 bot follows and three fake crypto impersonation accounts including me in a retweet daily. This would break the experience completely for me.
I’m going to be excited to see how this plays out with legal controls.
That being said removing block isn’t necessarily a terrible idea if you plan to expand what your privacy controls are.
You should be able to restrict who can see your content. If they take away that aspect, that would be hilarious and ridiculous.
We’ll see how it all plays out
Just when I thought that he can’t do anything dumber than the name change or paid verifications…
I’ll bet a buffalo nickel that this is so Musk can guarantee eyeballs on ads.
Arg: expected eyeballs on ads not 100% because blocking. This shiny new ‘X’ will guarantee 100%.
Tinfoil: If he can disrupt B2B on ads and seize more marketing market share, he looks like a genius and gets to add a payment feature to X. I don’t think he’s very creative and will just remake PayPal with a fuckton of extra steps.
Yup. X makes no sense. Please delete it.
He’s got a point. It’s kinda weird how I can just block every advert I see. But also super weird to not be able to block dingleberries either.
I gave him the benefit of the doubt when he took over, but it’s clear that he’s completely mental.
The original owners of Twitter were forever fixing what wasn’t broken, but this guy is acting like he’s got a new Stretch Armstrong toy and wants to see how far he can stretch it before it breaks.
Holy shit. The block feature was the only function that actually worked when dealing with trolls and assholes.
Remove that feature, and the remaining Queer and POC communities are going to be forced off the platform due to the abuse they will not be able to block.
I suspect this is mainly because people with the Blue checks keep crying about getting blocked.
Working as intended. Musk isn’t half as smart as he thinks he is, but he’s still not stupid enough to think it will play out any way.
He wants to ensure far-right voices are heard and that any opposition to them is bullied off the platform.
There is no need to give him the benefit of the doubt just because he doesn’t admit it out loud. Actions speak louder than words and every action he has taken has pandered to the far-right.
Agreed. Twitter will just be another extreme right shithole.
It’s such a shame. Twitter has been around for so long and had been vital for many peoples careers and connections. I hate what he’s done with it. =(
Yeah sensible but they should allow to not show on the home feed for a profile
