Ha imagine using Twitter

Huh why ? This doesn't make sense

Here's the context, bigots complaining about being blocked

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!

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

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.

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...

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

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

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

I am very glad I left Twitter at the beginning of Musk's rein. This is just dangerous.

Except for his account, I'd bet.

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.

Wow. He really is a tool.

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.

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.)

Ayyyy Elon, so we're going for full chaos??

Lemme grab my popcorn before the change starts a nuclear reaction.

Surely a sight to behold. Lol

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

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.

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.

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

That sounds like the most stupid shit ever. I'm usually not the person that blocks a lot. I believe in 5 years of twitter i maybe blocked 3 accounts plus a couple of spam bots. But still...like...why would you think that this is a good idea?

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

Time to promote the hell out of Mastodon

Serious question: is musk actively trying to run twitter into the ground for some kind of financial benefit, or is he just an arrogant asinine asshole who has no idea what he's doing?

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