Re: Elon Musk $44 Billion Twitter deal
I have an "out there" view on message blocking.
I have noticed there is a trend to encourage passive aggression behaviour, by that I mean deciding to block someone without telling them you blocking them. The chat services are designed to let you block someone discreetly, discord will tell the person blocked e.g. they cant send a message, but not the reason why, whatsapp if you block, the user isnt told they blocked, but instead the messages dont get delivered and they cant see when the person is online. Ignoring someone deliberately without telling them why is a form of passive aggression and is likely easily the biggest type of passive aggression on the internet. Now this move on twitter, as I understand it, the block will still apply on DM's (which will be where its important), but for public posts it becomes a notification mute. So you can no longer filter out posts from certain viewers, I have also seen comments saying that previously when someone was blocked they couldnt even see the account that blocked them (not sure if thats accurate). On reddit you can filter out public posts, as well as "some" community forum software. My thoughts are the feature is already there, why not keep it there. So basically I do disagree with the decision even though I do think current invisibility/ignore features are implemented wrong on chat services. Wouldnt surprise me if Musk is getting annoyed with people blocking his posts, as many of his decisions seem personal driven. ---------- Post added at 13:16 ---------- Previous post was at 13:13 ---------- Quote:

Is turning Nicky Campbell off on the radio because I can’t stand the sanctimonious git, passive aggressive? If I block anyone on Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn ( that’s all use) is because I’ve decided you are not worth my time. I do not need to explain my reasons. Quote:

As flawed as it is, and despite his attempts to screw it up, Twitter is still the defacto town square. |

Especially if you're using a data limited connection where you're literally using your data allowance to see it. If it was maybe 1-2 posts per timeline refresh it would be less annoying but the only way to reduce it is to block/mute the ads you haven't followed. |

If I block someone on a site, its my choice and requires no explanation to anyone. |

Musk might think he has more freedom after buying twitter, but he has less as he represents the brand now.
