  I have him blocked. It’s my fault. He noticed and now he is going to axe the whole feature

      I bet a ton of users blocked him that day he messed with the algorithm so much he was boosted into feeds that didn’t even follow him.

        Lol that’s exactly what happened to me. I blocked his dumb ass after that little stunt. Now he’s back. Ugh.

  He’s going to be able to harass everyone that had blocked him.

    I bet he will still be able to block users without them knowing too

    Next, deleting your account gets axed. Feature makes no sense.

      That would be a "Getting nuked from orbit by EU" speedrun.

  Maybe he wants to get rid off the somewhat smart people on Twitter so the rest can be easily radicalized with the intend that they vote against their interest and for the interests of rich people?

  I'd say it's either that or he wants greater reach to feed his narcism.
