Approved Bots
I think you can't see anything recent, only posts a year or older until you log in.
Lots of non-answers but to clarify - yes but no comments.
Sometimes a login wall might block you but if you refresh a couple of times it should work.
Sometimes. Occasionally the site requires you to log in.
But if the argument is blocked users should see your posts for safety reasons, then shouldn’t any anonymous non-logged-in user also not be able to see your posts?
Twitter "privacy" has never really been a thing. Everything was public for the longest time. You never needed to be logged in in order to see posts.
With Musk's acquisition, there are some changes (that I personally haven't cared enough to nail down) that came down the pipe where logging in is required. This was an issue for a lot of people because Twitter has been a public forum for so long.
Then there's the ability to just make a new account.
> calling twitter X
This is terrible for the remaining marginalized users on there. Blocking should become more strict not the other way around.
Why do marginalized users keep using that website at all?
x is garbage
So Twitter is one step closer to being like Lemmy
Lemmy let's them respond to you even when blocked. Kind of funny to block someone for harassment and still see a comment removed pop up behind one of my comments a few hours later.
I find it fair in a way, I just wish it hid it from me completely since curiosity usually gets the best out of me. I've only had to block one person this whole time anyways, so it's really not the end of the world either.
In other news: X stops supporting commonly circumvented support of a non workable feature.
I have a SHOCKING idea. Don't post publicly if you don't want unwanted readers. I know I know really radical shit.
Or get off of X.
I agree, bunch of naive folks who can't stop.
Can they quote posts from people who have them blocked? If so I can see that being abused for "raiding" someone constantly
And in other news, X still requires users to sign in to see almost anything.
And in other news it's trivial to have 100s of accounts.
