ITT: "Blocking isn't a necessary feature, specifically because I do not get harassed." Also: "Because you COULD just make an alt, take the time to make a fake email, and even potentially be required to have a fake ID in the future, muting and blocking are LITERALLY the same thing"
Any disincentive is one more step some spineless bastard has to go through to harass you, even if there are work arounds.
I thought he was relying to his own Tweet
The only reason I regret deleting my twitter account is because now I can’t tell Elon how fucking idiotic these decisions are.

I'm kind of tired of hearing about what this dummy is up to. He's very rich. But clearly very dumb. He took emerald mine money and lucked his way into some good investments. Bought his way into Tesla and pretends to be very smart.
Thats not to say every idea he has had is bad. But he is clearly not a smart man overall.

I really hope they don't go back on this because it's really going to damage their bottom line and I have popcorn to eat
This is not a good idea. If you are a troll, you must love this a lot.
Can we defederate from Twitter/X already?
I'll bet a buffalo nickel that this is so Musk can guarantee eyeballs on ads.
Arg: expected eyeballs on ads not 100% because blocking. This shiny new 'X' will guarantee 100%.
Tinfoil: If he can disrupt B2B on ads and seize more marketing market share, he looks like a genius and gets to add a payment feature to X. I don't think he's very creative and will just remake PayPal with a fuckton of extra steps.
How else would a child of apartheid Africa get the apartheid message out to the world in 2023? Of course you have to disable the block feature.
