...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...

Ha imagine using Twitter

By this time, I thought he was out of feet to shoot, but he keeps finding new ones. Or maybe he's already at the "shooting myself in the knee" phase.

Yeah, totally expecting that. His aim of buying twitter, is to prop up a republican presidential candidate / authoritarians in other countries that can help him evade taxes and get more subsidies.

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

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.

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

I'd wager this is in response to the campaign going around to block every blue checkmark. Elon can't let his crowd of sycophants feel like they're being ignored.

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

How in the world is that a good idea...

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

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 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.

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.

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

Wow. He really is a tool.

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.)

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

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

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

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