A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

In closed systems like messengers, where you don’t see any content unless logged in, yes. There, it works brilliantly. But on Twitter, this is like cutting out something from a newspaper when there’s a news stand right next door.
Twitter has DMs, plus it helps by not allowing that person to reply unless they create a new account.
And it’s exactly like this now, if I understand the change correctly. They only removed the “you can’t see this post because the owner limits who can see it” thing. Blocked people still can’t reply.
Yeah. It works like a Discord block basically. (Ignoring that Discord doesn't block users in group voice settings.)
You do realize it's the same thing here, right?
Yep, that’s why I don’t get all this panicking about the Twitter change…
I don't think anyone is panicking.
Most people point and laugh at Twitter.
