Even if it really didn't make sense, wouldn't it be more sensible to... Idk... Just leave it alone and not spend the time to get rid of it? Lol

I wonder what Twitter is going to Musk up next?

Brands block trolls all the time.

I gave him the benefit of the doubt when he took over, but it's clear that he's completely mental.

The original owners of Twitter were forever fixing what wasn't broken, but this guy is acting like he's got a new Stretch Armstrong toy and wants to see how far he can stretch it before it breaks.

This year's module content on social media is going to be an absolute cracker.

I don't even need to write jokes into my classes, the man does it for me!

I'm going to be excited to see how this plays out with legal controls.

That being said removing block isn't necessarily a terrible idea if you plan to expand what your privacy controls are.

You should be able to restrict who can see your content. If they take away that aspect, that would be hilarious and ridiculous.

We'll see how it all plays out

If this happens, I'll be deleting my account. I don't care, that the few VTubers I was still engaging with are still there, and haven't jumped over Mastodon, Misskey, etc.

When does this take place? I just looked at my hosts file and the lines

::1 twitter.com

::1 www.twitter.com

are still there??

Yeah sensible but they should allow to not show on the home feed for a profile
