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.

I only see this as going well for him/Twitter.

Not really, it’s definitely going to be interesting to watch it go up in flames 🍿

3rd-party Twitter clients are going to have quite a spike in popularity then, just need to implement clientside blocking. It won't prevent the person blocked from seeing your posts, but that's kind of impossible to enforce on a public platform, anyway.

Is advertising revenue so important to them they're willing to sacrifice literally everything else for it?

If it's not easy to use reddit, who will use reddit?

This is fan service for his troglodytes.

Who else would give them such opportunities?

Pre Twitter takeover this would have been surprising. Now seems par for the course.

I've blocked every ad I've ever seen on the app. I haven't used it in a while and I doubt I'll ever go back now.

The only thing left that I use it for is getting alerts about live police chases so I can tune in. Ill leave that going until those people move to other platforms.

WTF is “a stronger form of mute?”

It probably means you can’t prevent someone with Twitter Blue to show up in your timeline.
