Not surprising, knowing how childish this guy is. I mean he's literally promoting his own tweets in the "For You" tab to people who haven't blocked him, despite these people not even following or interacting with his tweets in any kind of way...
Ha imagine using Twitter
...what the fuck???
I am very glad I left Twitter at the beginning of Musk's rein. This is just dangerous.
I made my first ever Twitter account a month or two before Musk bought it, for purely NSFW reasons. I'd log in every couple weeks or whatever, handle my business, and move along. After he bought it, I said whatever I'm not doing anything useful data wise so I'll continue my few times a month visits.
First post-Musk visit, it's fine. Business handled, close my incog window, move on.
Second post-Musk visit, I log in, and it's CP as far as the eye can see. I immediately deleted my account.
I quit Twitter after the infantile incident with Elon Musk carrying a sink around his own office. From all that we've seen in recent years it's pretty clear he's lucky to have been born rich, because he definitely isn't the visionary we thought he was.
This is cause people blocked him isnt it or was it simply Biden got more attention then the poor musky boi
4channers are gonna abuse the hell out of this for some fun. Can guarantee it.
I'd wager this is in response to the campaign going around to block every blue checkmark. Elon can't let his crowd of sycophants feel like they're being ignored.
Hey Twitter, it’s not a competition. You can get rid of your users at whatever pace suits you best. Even though Reddit is clearly speedrunning this game, and you’re getting left behind, doesn’t mean you have to double your efforts.
Musk and his backers (various authoritarian regimes) probably intended only to amplify the voices of the far right and other loonies, not to kill the platform itself. But that was always going to be difficult to thread that needle, made impossible by Musk's absolute lack of self awareness or self control. The fact that not only Musk is going to lose a lot of money when Twitter dies fills me with joy.
First thing I did after he bought Twitter is block him. Did I hurt his feelings?
(Not that I follow what's going on with Twitter anymore since I found Mastodon.)
You cannot make this f-ing UP! Twitter is indeed a dumpster fire.
Correction: Twitter is removing the block feature so that tweets can reach the full audience...
I can’t wait for other social media platforms to do the same thing. Social media companies are so stagnant they just copy what other companies do without thinking if it’s a good idea or not.
Anyone still on Twitter (who doesn’t absolutely need to be on Twitter for their job) must either enjoy harassing others or somehow enjoy being harassed?
I have no clue why anyone who isn’t a right-wing dingbat would use Twitter for fun or whatever. It’s so not fun to be on a platform run by a little manbaby, for a little manbaby.
Wow. He really is a tool.
It keeps getting worse it's almost funny
I’m happier since I don’t use twitter. Thanks Elon, you’re making things easier for us.
Ayyyy Elon, so we're going for full chaos??
Lemme grab my popcorn before the change starts a nuclear reaction.
Surely a sight to behold. Lol
Elons probably tired of everyone blocking him. If everyone blocks him, then no one can with this new “feature” lol
That sounds like the most stupid shit ever. I'm usually not the person that blocks a lot. I believe in 5 years of twitter i maybe blocked 3 accounts plus a couple of spam bots. But still...like...why would you think that this is a good idea?
This can't be serious...
