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.
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?
