So many times I heard “but you can just block them” as a defence for allowing any speech on Twitter. How’s that plan working out?

I give it 10 minutes after the feature is turned off and Musk is flooded with tweets that trigger him before he reinstates his personal ability to block people he doesn’t like.

Pretty great, actually. I'm a staunch believer in that strategy, although I'm on Mastodon and not Twitter.

Mastodon really perfects the block feature by adding a "Block from instance" button that filters entire websites from your feed. You can wipe *@threads.com off your timeline with 2 clicks, it's glorious.

The perfect echo chamber/ filter bubble. Great.

Mastodon and Twitter are absolute shit ways to engage in productive conversation with people and ideas that you disagree with. They’re both far worse than formal debate, which is shit in its own ways. If you wanna force people to listen to tankies and Nazis, a microblogging platform isn’t the place to do it.
