I know most of y'all have fully abandoned Twitter, but good lord if he actually does this (which is not guaranteed mind you) a LOT of vulnerable people are going to get hurt.
Funnily enough, this pair of tweets could also be from someone hearing about this for the first time.
Near future "free speech"...
I mentioned noted scholar Heinrich H. Swastika because he challenges received narratives about the holocaust. Let's discuss this. I'm just asking questions. I won't stop cause Elon's got my back. 1/127
Right wingers: "If you don't like what we have to say, ignore us! Grow a thicker skin!"
Also right wingers: Make it so they can't be ignored
no I'll actually for real delete my twitter account, I still have it to check certain accounts every so often but holy fuck if I'll have to see every dipshit I've ever blocked and their tweets on there again even that won't be worth it wtf!!!
If I remember his earlier comments on this correctly, he's probably referring to blocked users being unable to see your public tweets, and changing it so it only keeps you from seeing the blocked user. I think. It's impossible to predict a mind as great as Elon's though.
Can we make post titles more relevant ?
On Hexbear? 
You're welcome to try to beg people for it but people don't really care that much here, post takes a second to read anyway.
Why are people losing their minds over this? He is just making block work the same way it does on this website and other social media. Should Hexbear make it so if you block a user then it deletes any comments they made replying to your comments? Surely, it should just hide it for you, but leave it for others to see. Moderators should be responsible for banning and deleting comments, not individual users. Maybe there is just something I don't understand.
Surely, it should just hide it for you, but leave it for others to see.
I in fact fucking hate this implementation of block, because it may as well not exist in that form. You need to keep them unblocked so you can refute the shit they spew to your comments that you otherwise can't see so it doesn't make other people believe it.
You need to not only hide their content, but remove their ability to respond to your content entirely. That's the point of BLOCK-ing someone. What you are describing is just a mute button.
It sounds to me like he's getting rid of the block feature entirely so you can't even hide users you don't want to see from your feed.
Also I can't think of a single platform where a non-moderator user blocking another user removes their comments for anyone else. At most blocking someone just prevents them from replying to you further.
I think this might happen, but only for those without the "premium" accounts. Those people can still block as they want. People who don't want to pay for twitter have to endure a barrage of hatred from blue checkmark nazis with no ability to stop them.
I'm sure this will have no consequences for the platform whatsoever.
Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
