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.

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

[-] SoyTDI@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

I have blocked only one person on Twitter: him.

[-] Kacarott@feddit.de 12 points 1 year ago

That's probably why he's doing it, so you and all the others who blocked him are forced to see his posts again.

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

[-] sub_@beehaw.org 15 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] bird@beehaw.org 12 points 1 year ago

Let’s not forget it started as a meme and his hand was forced.

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.

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

[-] dbrand666@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

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.

Wow. He really is a tool.

[-] confusedwiseman@beehaw.org 11 points 1 year ago

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

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.

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.

...what the fuck???

[-] chraqs@lemmy.one 11 points 1 year ago

Bro it's like he WANTS us to only see t shirt ads

[-] Jordynl@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

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

[-] lemmymarud@lemmy.marud.fr 10 points 1 year ago

This can't be serious...

[-] honk@feddit.de 10 points 1 year ago

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?

Elons probably tired of everyone blocking him. If everyone blocks him, then no one can with this new “feature” lol
