Holy shit. The block feature was the only function that actually worked when dealing with trolls and assholes.
Remove that feature, and the remaining Queer and POC communities are going to be forced off the platform due to the abuse they will not be able to block.
I suspect this is mainly because people with the Blue checks keep crying about getting blocked.
Working as intended. Musk isn't half as smart as he thinks he is, but he's still not stupid enough to think it will play out any way.
He wants to ensure far-right voices are heard and that any opposition to them is bullied off the platform.
There is no need to give him the benefit of the doubt just because he doesn't admit it out loud. Actions speak louder than words and every action he has taken has pandered to the far-right.
Agreed. Twitter will just be another extreme right shithole.
It's such a shame. Twitter has been around for so long and had been vital for many peoples careers and connections. I hate what he's done with it. =(
