Elon Musk really seems to be doubling down on removing the X blocking feature from this platform.
In a reply to James Woods, who criticized Musk for saying he’s removing the feature, Musk simply told him to “delete your account.”
Musk also is apparently blocking people himself. He’s blocking people who are complaining about the block feature being removed.
Personally I have 5,000+ accounts blocked, mostly from over 5 years ago. I wish I could unblock all of them with one click.
With that said though, there are a few accounts which I do wish I could prohibit from replying to my posts. These are people who post photos of my home, my address, my kids names, etc.
There are also people who have stalked me, showing up at my home, at my family’s place of work, etc. I don’t want these people to be able reply to my posts with photos of my home, etc.
What are your thoughts about the removal of the option to block accounts on Twitter? Do you believe this is a good move or a mistake, and why?
ELON: Mute needs to mute properly, including all mentions. Block will only apply to DMs. @Jack gets it. Surprisingly few others do.
