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.

The source showed the tweet as an image, so I went into the sewer waters from Fritter. And, yep, it's genuinely there.

It's not even that I believe him unable to have such bad takes: it's not the first time. I have just seen a few fake ones. But the fake ones aren't even needed!

I assume he will still have the block button though.

It's sad seeing Twitter take such a nose dive (more so then it already has). I met quite a fee friends on the platform and, despite it's many, many, MANY flaws, was still nice to be on when you interacted with friends. I hope my friends start using more decentralized social media soon with how much of a toxic environment Elon is trying to foster

It's unclear if he's distinguishing posts from the users that make them.

Blocking users is important, but posts less so (but I still loved to block posts if they were obnoxious and kept getting shared)

Anything shilly got blocked by me. Including any account that advertises there.

This doesn't make sense.

Blocking public posts makes no sense. It needs to be deprecated in favor of a stronger form of mute.

How is blocking different than a stronger form of mute? I don't know what he's talking about. I'm not sure he knows what he's talking about.
