    So… Wait.

    This means someone can just @ someone else and destroy their feed with hate or dick pics or whatever?!

        Mr. “assassination coordinates” said he was going to live stream driving to Zucks house to fight him, which would effectively doxx Zuck. Expecting logical consistency is silly.

      Sounds like people should start setting up nasty ass porn bots and have them spam Musk constantly

      What I suspect will happen is that Musk cronies will be free to harass anyone they want, but anyone harassing Musk or one of this cronies will be banned.

      Yep, I think so. And “someone else” includes Elon.

        Blue checks will complain about it, then want a feature to get around that.

          Complain about mute? How will they know they have been muted?

        what’s the difference between block and mute? Block just lets them not see your feed and notifies them of this, but mute just hides anything they post from you?

          Muting people that harass you instead of blocking them enable them to just spam libel about you onto your posts, which can have other effects. At least with blocking, they can’t just do it on your actual posts.

        If you mute someone, you don’t see their posts. They don’t get any notification that you have muted them. It’s the same as blocking but they don’t know they are blocked.

          Blocking is a step up from muting. Muting just makes it so you don’t see the muted users’ posts and comments. Blocking makes it so that the blocked user is muted, plus they cannot see any of your posts and comments. Blocked users also cannot @ you.

            Blocking lets them know they need to make another account to continue to harass you.

              Something most won’t do because it requires more time and effort on their part. Plus, blocking alt accounts is super quick and easy.

            Muted accounts can’t @ you either.

            The only difference between block and mute is that your are informing them they are blocked, prompting them to make an alt so that they can keep doing shit.

              Incorrect. I’d already explained the differences to you in another post.

              Thanks for the correction. I thought it was different at some point, but to be fair I haven’t used Twitter in many years now. I just assumed it was still similar to how most other apps handle it.

                It is different, he’s just being dishonest.

                If you block someone else on Twitter, they can’t even see your profile at all (muting still allows them to see your profile and interact with everything you post or retweet). Sure, it tells them they’re blocked, but this also means they can’t interact with anything you post at all. If they want too, they’ll either have to make an alt account (someone most are too lazy to do) or ask fellow toxic assholes to screenshot your posts for them to see.

                Muting is useless when dealing with harassers. It’s why the block feature was added; because minority communities begged for it.

      Even better they can spam literal child porn at you because of “outrage” and youll get a exec from Twitter defending you to parliament!
