You can always count on this twat to do the dumbest, shittiest thing he can.
The delete account button is still there.
I'd say "for now", but at least we've got the EU protecting us from that possibility.
I have started to actively avoid brands, journalists etc. who still use Twitter as their primary social media presence.
lol, what?
I mean, Twitter's blocking policy goes way too far... but axing them completely? I dunno about that one chief.
Reminder: if you still have an account with that fucko’s service-
You support everthing he does.
I’ve kept my account because it’s a sought after username. Deleting it would allow some grifter to take it over. It also predates both Elmo’s and the original Twitter accounts.
I’ve not posted anything under it since the third party apps were blocked.
Reminder: if you have american citizenship, all support everything those fucko's do
When I comment that Twitter is trash and I'd never use it, the response I often get is 'it's actually pretty good after you block all the trolls and bots and corporate accounts and politicians and blue checks'... 🙄
JUST. LEAVE. TWITTER.
I've practically been groveling begging my girlfriend to switch.
Its not that bad just ignore the ads
Yeah I don't go in replies because it's always bots
There's still some things on there
She didn't really catch onto mastodon, discoverability is the problem imo. May try getting her onto bluesky even though it wouldn't be my pick. Some people just like whatever they currently have more than change - which maybe not being able to block like EVERY OTHER media platform may be a big enough change.
Problem is people have gotten used to centralized platforms
Basically nothing I follow is on anything else because they need the numbers. The few people that are just copy their twitter posts and never actually engage.
I swear sometime he really seems like he is personally trying to kill twitter/x/xitter whatever it’s called.
Pretty sure he’s doing this simply because he doesn’t like how many people have blocked him personally
Taylor Swift blocked him and he can't have that
He’s grumpy that she won’t see any additional jokes he makes about impregnating her
I'm pretty sure both the App Store and the Google Play Store both require social media apps to have a block feature. Will be interesting to see what happens if he goes through with this.
Absolutely nothing. Rules on those stores are only for the little guys
If the block feature goes away, I guarantee it will come back for - at the very least - the highest tier of paid accounts almost immediately afterwards.
I can't imagine any of the large corps that still use Xitter for customer communication will be happy not being able to block serial trolls. Or people with legitimate grievances who won't go away.
the block function will block that account from engaging with, but not block seeing, a public post
It's a win for humanity if it causes more people to leave and stop thinking it's a public forum.
I swear I've read this exact headline a year or so ago already.
He keeps floating it, but hasent done it yet.
They clearly have internal data that top alt right posters are getting blocked too much for Musk's tastes, so here it is again.
I thought Twitter was once forced but a court to enable blocking for all users against all users. Isn't this why we are able to block advertisers?
i seem to remember something similar. and blocking advertisers seems like it should be common law but i guess chrome killing adblockers takes predesence.
Everthing he does is a win for them.
Bet both my ovaries he just wants to stop using apt to look at all the people who blocked him
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
