Comment on Musk’s plan to axe X's block button is a real win for stalkers and abusers.

  That was the one action I took on Twitter after creating an account before my account got banned.

  I needed to create an account to check a local source for updates. So I did. I also decided to look around on Twitter to see what I was “missing”. Saw a bunch of Musk stuff and instantly knew I didn’t want to see any of it. So I blocked him.

  In a few weeks, when I clicked a Twitter link, it said my account had been banned for suspicious activity. It had a secure password and this was its second log-in ever (no posts, comments, reactions, etc).

  Pretty sure you already can’t block him specifically, I’m not on Xitter but have heard from several people this is the case.

    A friend has told me you can block Elon but his tweets still appear on your timeline as if you haven’t. He still uses Twitter and the only way he manages it is by blocking every blue check. He has 28,000 blocked accounts now…

      I just deleted the app from my own phone and locked my account, I moved my microblogging activity to Mastodon, and also using Lemmy more and more.
