This level of nob gobbling takes focus.
Another great ideea from greatest Genius of our age! Of God how could we live without him until now! /s
It's insane how ludicrous his ideas in particular seem to be, especially with Twitter. This has to be trolling, surely? Or does he not want to allow people to block him?
He's already overridden people blocking him. You still see his posts.
He's just trying to make sure it stays useful as a weapon for fascists like himself is all.
If you have your personal "ban from plattform entirely" button, why would you need a block button? Jeez you guys it's so obvious.
I reckon he's just really really fucking short-sited tbh. He seems to forget that there are people on twitter, or were tbh.
Makes me think he’s actively destroying it purposefully
You'd have a hard time convincing me he's not. Twitter was an absolutely fantastic way to organize politically. Imagine if you had enough money to casually drop out of your nation's treasury to end it and could squash a lot of political dissidents by doing so. I'm sure he's got a slush fund to end it from some not so great despots.
Elongated Muskrat has discovered just how many accounts are blocking him. His ego can’t take that. His FrEeSpEeCh must be heard
My account isn't blocking him.
At least, not since I deleted it. And stopped visiting Twitter.
Oh no please, not the nicknames. Can we leave them?
Nothing makes me cringe harder than the childish nicknames everybody keeps coming up with. Elongated Muskrat isn't funny or offensive.
Calling his sycophants Muskrats is appropriate though.
Correction: Twitter is removing the block feature so that tweets can reach the full audience...
how is this a good idea? Even lemmy has a "block" feature on like day 1
Day 1 lol. Lemmy have been in development for more than 3 years. It's just now that reddit got to suck even more lemmy and other alternatives got their opportunity.
"Hang on, Steve. Reddit can not and will not beat Twitter." -Elon
"Hold my beer, Elon! I'm probably going to shutdown the mobile reddit website." -Steve
How in the world is that a good idea...
I only see this as going well for him/Twitter.
Not really, it’s definitely going to be interesting to watch it go up in flames 🍿
I smile every time when I see that Musky did some more stupid shit, because I know that every time he does shit like that, Mastodon grows more. And with that, the entire Fediverse gets stronger.
Go on Elon! Don't Stop please! Kill Twitter!
I'd wager this is in response to the campaign going around to block every blue checkmark. Elon can't let his crowd of sycophants feel like they're being ignored.
Awww Musky’s feelings got hurt that so many people have blocked him on twitter lol
He's the only person I've blocked. I went on the other day and saw a tweet was hidden, clicked to view it, and when I saw it was him, I immediately closed the tab. Twitter is really good at providing me content that makes me want to leave 😆
Is advertising revenue so important to them they're willing to sacrifice literally everything else for it?
If it's not easy to use reddit, who will use reddit?
If it’s not easy to use reddit, who will use reddit?
The same people who hooted and hollered about Netflix ending password sharing and then went ahead and made their own account anyway because they can't be arsed to read a book or find something else to do to fill their sad little lives.
@dirtmayor Now that's just stupid. And I generally like the guy.
Why do you like “the guy”?
Except for his account, I'd bet.
