It's never been about freedom of speech.

All along it's been about toxic assholes feeling entitled to an audience for their bullshit.

@ct_bergstrom It's not even that. Muting would still result in you not seeing the person's posts anymore.

But the difference between blocking and muting is that the latter doesn't prevent the person you're trying to get away from from harassing you directly still.

Musk doesn't like that blocking (and block lists) is a way to stop chuds from stalking and harassing you.

I'm sure one of his fascist friends complained about blocks preventing "discourse" or some crap.

@sterlingericsson @ct_bergstrom yup. That screenshot thread was initiated by Andy Ngo
