I’m afraid you’re preaching to the choir. It’s the people who are still deep in the swirling morass of all the modern distractions who are difficult to reach, particularly younger people who have never known anything else. Growing up in the 1970s in the UK, with 3 (count them) TV channels, no telephone at home and…

That would require having a Twitter account and engaging, so I won’t be helping with that.

“Is there ever a reason to block vs mute someone? Give your reasons.” This comes from an annoying little man who can’t fathom why anyone would ever want him to just STFU. Fortunately, there is a way to block all of Twitter; cancel your account, or even better; never start one. I went the latter route and have never…

I mean, the literally obvious thing is just to stop talking about him.

Millions will die! He must be stopped!!!

“It’s called X because it’s where I go to stalk my X”

Just to be clear, being able to mute someone, on a social media site that you don’t have to use, instead of being able to block them, is a PUBLIC SAFETY issue? Amazing. 

Nobody says that you have to be involved with any of it. I opted out. You can, too. Addictions are hard to give up, but it is always possible, given the will to try. I’ve quit drinking, smoking, and social media, and I feel much happier and healthier as a result. YMMV.

fuck literally everyone still using twitter

He’s a moron.

Foot, meet bullet.

The world will be a slightly better place when this loser breathes his last.

I’m all for him running X into the ground, so wonderful. Another year closer till its eventual closure and then we can look back fondly at how Musk lit $44 billion on fire.

Update: He’s quietly deleted the tweet.

Tons of people. He’s infamous for ambushing conversations that have fuck-all to do with him, but because he’s a Very Special Stable Big-Bwain Jeenyus, he likes to weigh in on everything.

The more time that passes the more strongly I believe that Musk is not just an arrogant narcissistic blowhard, but he’s also a straight up malignant and evil thing. Hard to believe that at one point (quite a while ago now) I actually admired him. That was before I found out about he and his families dirty past and…

I did as soon as I heard this news lol

Shit don’t give him ideas.

You know, if all he wanted was “you can’t block promoted tweets” and “you can’t block me” he would probably get away with it.  But twitter without blocking is unusable.

Didn’t see his name in the feed for 24 hours.....
