Literally every single day we have idiots doing Musk’s PR work for free.
Downvote Musk spam. The billionaire doesn’t need your help making sure his businesses stay in the 24 hour news cycle.
Yeah, but every time these stories blow up, Mastodon, Threads, and BlueSky gets another user base boost. I’m ok with that. These stories keep making the alternative communities more and more viable.
I agree, he seems unwell and the attention is continuing the negative spiral. Unfortunately, I don’t think we can control what people are interested in. This is a total spectacle and media circus

What in the actual fuck does he think is going to happen
He’s going to be able to harass everyone that had blocked him.
I bet he will still be able to block users without them knowing too
So… Wait.
This means someone can just @ someone else and destroy their feed with hate or dick pics or whatever?!
Yep, I think so. And “someone else” includes Elon.
Do with that information what you will :D
This is so dumb, what is he thinking? What’s the angle?
Dumbness aside, Twitter is only usable if you block all of the blue check spammers who add nothing to any discussion.
Maybe he’s doing it so you can’t block blue checks? But it still doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.

well ya. musk paid a lot of money to those blue checks posting CSAM. what’s the point if you can just block the pedos?
I dont understand why regulars are so mad. He literally owns twitter. He can do whatever he wants to do with it. Regulars dont have to engage , if you dont like it , leave. Its that simple.
I dont use twitter myself but regulars going crazy about all these stunts doesnt make any sense.
I own a white Toyota and I paint it red. Nobody can do anything about it because I own the Toyota. Same is the case with twitter .
The block “feature” is a required tool for being listed on the Google and Apple stores, among others.
Removing it will get Twitter delisted from them as well.
Lmao this is going to be incredible to watch unfold. I am assuming Elon himself has blocked an absolute fuckton of accounts that are just out to troll him, so either he’s gonna (rightly) get absolutely inundated by trolls, or he’s gonna make the devs disable it for everyone except him and whoever else he wants to give that feature to.
yeah, elon’s not going to see the negative consequences of this personally, because he’ll just use the “ban” button instead of the “block” button.
I’m betting I can reverse engineer how to create spam accounts in a mostly automated fashion faster than he can ban accounts. And I bet a lot of other people can do the same.
I feel very confident saying that he’s not gonna win this one.
