So let’s say on Twitter, someone blocks me and I can’t read their post. Can’t I just log out and read their post that way? I don’t have a Twitter account, so I’ve never seen a blocked link before.
Yup, that’s exactly right. On Lemmy you don’t even have to log out, blocking someone simply means you can’t see their posts. If you don’t want a harasser or stalker to see something, and you post it publicly, you’re an idiot.
And this is the way it should be… You shouldn’t be able to silence someone from responding to stuff you say publicly by blocking them.
Someone could just open another account with a new mail address. Blocking doesn’t help much against stalkers as long as your posts are public.
Nope, and I love it because it means I literally never have to look at anything on twitter ever again

I can see this random tweet from Taylor Swift just fine in incognito mode. I can’t look at replies but I can see her posts.

You can see a tweet, but not list of her tweets, iirc.

You can view some profiles (authwall for others) and some show all content (tried it out with bbc and forbes), others drop relatively recent content while some others only show ancient content from a year or more ago.
The latter two were when I tried opening the twitter pages for some smaller podcasts I follow.

Maybe it just authwalls shared IPs like Google does
