A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

@mbirth@lemmy.ml And yet that minor inconvenience is enough of a hurdle that Musk thinks he has to get rid of it. Following a profile logged-out is impossible now, and alt-accounts are a pain to maintain. I'd wager that in way over half of the cases where someone is blocked, they do in fact then never see the blocker's posts because they don't run alts or view logged out.
What do you mean? I can just open an Incognito tab and go to x.com/ and see all posts (without replies, though).
I think you underestimate the dedication of some of those trolls. Also, most apps allow to easily switch between profiles with like 2 taps.
@mbirth@lemmy.ml "Some of them", sure.
Which is not 90% of them. It's the exceptions.
If a block-button stopping read-ability works in 80% of the cases, it's better than one that works in zero percent of the cases.
Look at twitter.com/@elonmusk in a private tab.
Most of the posts you see are from 2022!?
The block button on Twitter has gone from 80% effective to 0% effective.
Well done Musk. Well done.
