You were ALWAYS able to see tweets from people that blocked you by simply logging out or using an alt account.

Well, yeah. It's a different account. That's how accounts work. Do you think one account blocking someone should result in every account blocking them too?

Having a public (i.e. not locked) Twitđť•Ź account and believing you can block single people is a bit stupid to begin with.

When screaming on a market square, you can’t demand for single people to “please not listen” to what you’re screaming.

Locking your front door won't keep someone out who really wants to get in.

Is that stupid, too?

[-] mbirth@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 days ago

Of course, not. But closing and locking the door doesn’t prevent the person on the other side to still listen in on your conversations…

So then we should just get rid of doors?

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.
