It’s going to be an even bigger mess if Elon goes through with getting rid of block and only leaving people with a mute. There won’t be any way to stop these porn bots.

“The new verification system will prevent bot spam!” - Some rich guy who has no idea how the internet works
Seriously, it’s been such a pain reading Chinese content on Twitter/X/whatever. If you post any stuff that says something critical about China, no matter it’s news, opinions, or just shit posts, and have some amount of Chinese speaking followers, you are now guaranteed to have sex-bots spam commenting your every post. And you can’t do anything about it, since they have multiple accounts, and some just leave the comment and block you so you can’t remove it.

It’s called nuking the service all together.

Wait, is someone comments on a post, then blocks the OP that comment can’t be deleted?
falkerie71@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
I haven’t dealt with them personally before, but I did ask a poster before if they could hide the spam comments, and they said no since they couldn’t see it.

Ohhh, OK. So they can’t see the comment to even hide it. That is crazy.

This was a change that reddit made to their block system, and it criticized for I believe the same reason.
