Gwen Snyder is uncivilHe's going to get people killed with this.
You know what Nazis used to do in my Twitter replies before I started mass blocking?
They'd give my home address out to OTHER Nazis in my replies who had expressed an interest in murdering my family and me.
ananas@gwensnyder I have no idea why, but disabling blocking has gained traction for some godforsaken reason.
@ananas because the only people who give Musk money are blocked by all the people they want to yell at on Twitter
@gwensnyder Fair enough. I'm waiting for the day when the twitter algorithm looks at all my blocks as "interactions" and recommends me more of the shit I don't want to see with me being unable to block it.
adamrice@gwensnyder @ananas Ding ding ding, we have a winner.
Andie Freaker@gwensnyder @ananas oh true. I've been seeing bots that automatically block anyone with a check mark. This prob is why he is doing this
Molly Cantrell-Kraig š·@1900490Freak @gwensnyder @ananas
I also block all promoted posts. All of them. Blocking them is killing his already anemic ad revenue.

P Stewart@ananas @gwensnyder To the (supposed) free speech absolutists and also the pro-harassment crowd that Twitter's always courted, the ability to block people falls under Evil Scary Cancelling. They've always opposed anything that makes it easier for people to not pay attention to them.
They'll cheer this as opening up the marketplace of ideas or whatnot even as they also cheer on Musk banning the use of words like "cisgender," because both policies let them hurt people they dislike.
Brian Eisley@pstewart @ananas @gwensnyder Which will only lead to the exodus of the last decent people on Twitter, and then the trolls will get bored because they've nobody to hassle. Twitter will become another RW echo chamber like Truth Social.

Don't they have anything better to do with their time?
ĖdƤlfÉnā¢š¬ š„ š@brianeisley @pstewart @ananas @gwensnyder Exactly. Plus, a lot of ppl will leave who block Musk now lol
tone1928@dalfen @brianeisley @pstewart @ananas @gwensnyder True. I thought he was kind of cool a few years ago so followed him on twitter - then discovered the reality - and blocked him. In lead up to twitter purchase to unblocked to review opinion (worse if anything). I still donāt understand how heās such a tool but kind of civilised elsewhere.
Toni Aittoniemi@pstewart @ananas @gwensnyder It has become a shining beacon of all the things that are wrong with ānaĆve liberalismā, the political corpus that all freedom from any individual control is always wrong.
GraveRobyn@ananas @gwensnyder apple will not host him, they require blocking
@ananas @gwensnyder Thatās because Elmo does not actually lead, he follows.
Heās a communal narcissist. His (uncurable) psychosis is that only he can save the world, and he can do better than anyone else.
With a social media as his āflockā to save, he becomes effectively a populist. And to boot heās probably only surrounded by yes-men telling all his ideas are wonderlful by now anyway.
Classic mad emperor, with the god-complex settling in.
