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.

Thanks for the responses all. I misread the description of muting and thought by “prevents responses from appearing on your feed” meant they couldn’t reply at all to your tweets, not that you simply couldn’t see them.

Don’t forget that with his new system it also means that person referencing you as “lady parts” also happens to pay the $8 for the verified status they will be at the top of all your replies. 

This is the real solution.

“Does the removal of blocking in this context really matter?”

Put it this way. Imagine if someone decides they want to harass you – maybe you had an argument with them on Twitter, maybe it’s someone who knows you in real life and dislikes you, maybe it’s just a random stranger who just wants to fuck with somebody.

I think you are not quite understanding the difference between blocking and muting. Blocking removes the ability of one user to view or interact with another completely. Musk attempting to split the baby and allow users to block another user’s DMs will not satisfy Apple or Google, so Musk runs the very real risk of…

Just do yourself and most everyone else a favor and get off the Twitter. Help accelerate the company’s bankruptcy.

He, just like his Mandaddy, Donny “Two Scoops” Trump are very predictable.

I’m sure that’s a big part of it, but considering how many users mass blocked thousands of blue checks when they started appearing at the top of posts, I’m sure blocking has had a diminishing effect on engagement for those users. And that in turn affects the subscriber bonuses he’s paying to a bunch of white wing…

A Kinja block feature would probably kill comments even deader than they already are, but it sure would be nice to not see the dipshit transphobes and racists.

I bet he just saw the data that showed just how many people have him blocked and it hurt his little man baby feelings. He really is a pathetic human being. 

Honestly, I wish Giz and Kotaku had an option to block. 

Hard agree. It's surreal pulling for Disney of all companies. Only Nestlé would be a less palatable comrade. 

For me it’s still the literal torture he helped facilitate at Gitmo.

My in-laws are in town. They’re Canadian. It was really interesting explaining that several organizations have issued travel advisories for Florida. It just didn’t compute until I said, “A travel advisory, like to Sudan.”

Desantis clearly violated a corporations 1st amendment right and even wrote about it in his book.  It should be an easy open and shut case for disney to win.

The language he used says that he would like Disney to drop the lawsuit and concede everything to him instead of dragging him to court and having a judge tear him a new one.

Just look at this Haircut.

Of all the shitty things DeSantis has done during and after his Navy career, the worst in my opinion will be him making me root for a corporate juggernaut known for its own shady deeds just to spite him. I want Iger to literally cornhole him while wearing a Mickey Mouse costume.
