It might look like this, but thinking about it, I guess it's still useful in reducing unwanted interactions. People are lazy, and thus adding even a little friction can help a lot in preventing them from doing stalkering, spreading hate etc.

I.e. of course it's possible to login with another user, find the one who blocked you, make a screenshot or something and then quote it or perform any other interaction in your main account. But it's obviously not very easy.

So I'm sure it worked as a solution to reduce negative interactions on the platform. However, Musk doesn't want reducing these, his goal is spreading chaos and forcing his narratives, so the decision totally makes sense for him.

It may be as simple as revealing blocked content is a short path to increasing outrage and thus engagement. Like, I could see Facebook doing this on Threads.

They should have had an "ignore" feature from the start, as well as block. They can post all the vile they want, I just don't want to read it.

But IME, the kind of people I want to block are the exact kinds of people that would go through all that effort to keep trying to cause drama.

Isn't it a bit weird that a person can share a screenshot of a tweet by an account that has blocked them?

It shouldn't be that hard to check if an image looks like a tweet and, if it does, find out the exact match.
