A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Well damn, the only way I use twitter is by liberally blocking everything and just getting news from stuff I care about, since there is no other platform like it that everyone uses and updates regularly. They already started pushing stuff to my feed that I don't follow, now they are removing the ability to block and keep my feed clean too? They really are doing everything in their power to make me stop using it huh

When toxic idiots on Twitter drive everyone off, they'll be the only ones left.

Then they'll turn on each other, harassing bots and trolls who'll scream that nothing's being done because they are being dragged.

Then when only the most toxic are left, and they have no one else to intimidate, harass, or make miserable; they'll leave.

This is so dumb it must be out of context.

I assume he will still have the block button though.

[–] ososalsosal@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's unclear if he's distinguishing posts from the users that make them.

Blocking users is important, but posts less so (but I still loved to block posts if they were obnoxious and kept getting shared)

@elonmusk and u/Spez walk into a bar...

[–] GadgeteerZA@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

LOL that is probably because I've been blocking Elon's profile for a while now. I'm pretty sure this has to do with his profile being blocked by more and more people.

The source showed the tweet as an image, so I went into the sewer waters from Fritter. And, yep, it's genuinely there.

It's not even that I believe him unable to have such bad takes: it's not the first time. I have just seen a few fake ones. But the fake ones aren't even needed!

Days since Musk fucks-up Twitter further: 0

Not that the number was that high anyway U_U
