      The only reason why this dipshit wants to get rid of the block feature is because he’s probably the most blocked person on Twitter. People were sick of his dumb, unfunny brain farts getting pushed into their timeline and blocked him, and his ego can’t handle it.

        This comment makes me laugh because I’ve seen it (and said it) so many times close to word from word. We’re all in tune with his nonsense and it’s great to be so aligned

        We all say: most blocked person

        Ego

        Twitter instead of the letter

        I can’t wait for his platform to die

        The abuse of the block feature is a problem yes, I too was a victim of “you’re wrong I’m right shut up blocked”.

        But blocking can be useful too: if you disgrace someone and their posts? you can block them, someone is arrasing you? you can block them. (Arrassing post/comments wise, on private messages block will remain)

        An issue can be fix by not removing the feature itself, like reporting miss information.

        Regarding of the mute, is not exactly the same: if I mute someone, that someone can still comment under my posts, wich is the main reson I used to use the block, for not having imbeciles who thinks I’m an alien in the comment section.

        I think the way twitter block used to work was a sword with two blades, useful in many cases but easily abusible.

          That’s still a feature. You can mute someone, and you won’t see anything they post anymore. You just can’t prevent them from making a post others can see.

          Why does it matter if you can’t even read it?

          Blocks take real value away by censoring people who might otherwise add important context or citations. Muting the obnoxious, rude people allows you to go on as if they were blocked.
