    If you’re not playing the vastly superior PoE, you’re not playing a modern ARPG. D4 is a casual’s game.

    I am incredibly shocked that the cartoonist didn’t depict the transition just from fat to skinny but also from black to white.

    or from seeing the bluecheck comments from the literally thousands of far right nazi americans, Russian funded troll farm influencers, and pro-genocide Israeli hasbara accounts I've muted and blocked since elno took over that platform.

    maybe this will be the new low that finally gets me to eliminate twitter from my daily life. stay tuned!

    Am I misreading the proposed change? Or is everyone else in this thread misreading it?

    I take it to mean that if I've blocked Leon, he can still see my posts (which are public) but I won't ever see his. I don't think means that people you've blocked will now show back up in your timeline

    good point.

    Probably a few things going on here:
    1. He's craves attention, so he manufactures outrage. Rage bait, I guess you could call it.
    2. He demands people be forced to read all of his insanely stupid white supremacist takes on literally every subject.
    3. There's probably some sort of political reason to try to entice google / apple to remove twitter from their app stores.
    and/or
    4. He gets a thrill out of calling the bluff of apple and google, so he occasionally does shit that makes them back off of cancelling his product. (his app violates their terms of service in myriad ways). So after he gets to play "poor little oppressed billionaire" (see 3 above) for a news cycle, he'll get to celebrate google / apple not doing shit for the 50th time.

    It seems like you only be able to block them from commenting on your posts. But you can still see the blocked person's posts and the block person's post can see yours. So you have no way of getting rid of terrible accounts

    If someone were actively trying to ruin Twitter what would they do?

    Make the site only somewhat functional
    Change the name of the site
    Fill it with racists
    ???

    I don't have a 300 IQ. Someone help

    Painfully accurate. Just aggregators posting old video, spamming viral tweets, and people dunking on people / yelling about the main character of the day.

    I think it’s like TAS is saying. The blocked user will still see your posts unless you’re private. But who ever knows with Musk.

    No, it' the other way around. If I block Elon, which I have, I will now see his posts unless Elon's account is private. Elon just can't engage with me.

    Terrible Spam accounts that show up on your timeline you block? Too bad, they'll still be there. Block Nazis in the comments? Nope, can't filter out that hate speech.
