...what the fuck???

Not surprising, knowing how childish this guy is. I mean he's literally promoting his own tweets in the "For You" tab to people who haven't blocked him, despite these people not even following or interacting with his tweets in any kind of way...

Here's the context, bigots complaining about being blocked

This is cause people blocked him isnt it or was it simply Biden got more attention then the poor musky boi

I smile every time when I see that Musky did some more stupid shit, because I know that every time he does shit like that, Mastodon grows more. And with that, the entire Fediverse gets stronger.

Go on Elon! Don't Stop please! Kill Twitter!

First thing I did after he bought Twitter is block him. Did I hurt his feelings?

(Not that I follow what's going on with Twitter anymore since I found Mastodon.)

Hey Twitter, it’s not a competition. You can get rid of your users at whatever pace suits you best. Even though Reddit is clearly speedrunning this game, and you’re getting left behind, doesn’t mean you have to double your efforts.

Doesn't he himself use this feature a ton? 😂

Anyone still on Twitter (who doesn’t absolutely need to be on Twitter for their job) must either enjoy harassing others or somehow enjoy being harassed?

I have no clue why anyone who isn’t a right-wing dingbat would use Twitter for fun or whatever. It’s so not fun to be on a platform run by a little manbaby, for a little manbaby.

Musk and his backers (various authoritarian regimes) probably intended only to amplify the voices of the far right and other loonies, not to kill the platform itself. But that was always going to be difficult to thread that needle, made impossible by Musk's absolute lack of self awareness or self control. The fact that not only Musk is going to lose a lot of money when Twitter dies fills me with joy.

4channers are gonna abuse the hell out of this for some fun. Can guarantee it.

You cannot make this f-ing UP! Twitter is indeed a dumpster fire.

I just don't understand some of these decisions...

he's pissed because people started installing browser extensions like Block The Blue

Time to promote the hell out of Mastodon

Bro it's like he WANTS us to only see t shirt ads

I’m happier since I don’t use twitter. Thanks Elon, you’re making things easier for us.

Elon trying not to make the worst decisions possible challenge (Impossible)

I wonder where the fandoms and the artist communities are going to go now that they just opened the floodgates for the massive amount of harassment those communities tend to deal with.

I presume some are going to return to Tumblr, but hopefully they make the switch to Mastodon.

Correction: Twitter is removing the block feature so that tweets can reach the full audience...

Are you kidding? Being able to block people who are harraing you is the ONLY thing that keeps social media civil. What the actual fuck.

So how will they comply with court orders requiring that function? /smh

I can’t wait for other social media platforms to do the same thing. Social media companies are so stagnant they just copy what other companies do without thinking if it’s a good idea or not.

I have blocked only one person on Twitter: him.
