One of the most important tools for trust and safety efforts is the “block” feature, allowing a user to entirely block someone else from following them. Yes, on Twitter you can get around this by g…

i like lemmy's comment sections. it's like a 4chan or (now) twitter cesspool, but instead of weird nazi shit it's just a cesspool of reasonable opinions.

With Musk involved, one could say it's a work of art made into fart.

Ya know, when he announces this people should be replying with the poop emoji.

Anytime I go to the comments I just scroll to the bottom to get to actual comments and not the forced blue checkmark opinions. It should be illegal for me to exposed to the opinion of someone who pays for twitter

Isn't it possible to sort comments on Twitter? I don't use Twitter myself. Long story short: made an account back in 2017-2018, tried it out and i didn't like it, so I deleted the account. Right now it seems I made a good choice lol.

Don't believe so, and especially not now. One of the selling points of Twitter blue is to have your comments shoved in everyone's faces, even if it's the most braindead racist homophobic shit you've ever read.

Where’s the screenshot of that Musk tweet going “Why do we even have a block feature” quickly followed by someone going “calling it now: The block feature is going to be killed in a week or two.”
