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.

Rather people have no idea how blocking on 𝕏 worked/works. You were ALWAYS able to see tweets from people that blocked you by simply logging out or using an alt account.
I don’t understand all this fuss about this simple change. He only removes a useless feature that was never more than a minor inconvenience for those that got blocked.
If you don’t want people to see your tweets, lock your profile. This worked before and this still works just fine.
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) Twit𝕏 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.
When I block someone I do not care if they see what I post. I just do not want them to be able to interact with it. I don't want to see them. I don't want their opinion. But it's fine if they want to spend their energy fuming about whatever I post. Or more likely, simply who I am.
...and that's how it still works.
