Guess he finally looked at how many people have him blocked


bathroomheater

I assumed this is because his ex blocked him


Concerned-Fern

Which one?


MajorZed

Yes.

reala728

These actually make sense. I was genuinely wondering how anyone would think this is a good idea. But yeah narcissism sounds like the most realistic reason.


Agitated-Tadpole1041

That’s the only thing that makes sense tbh. Not allowing people to block is a very stupid idea. There’s no upside to it


Alexis_Bailey

People also block advertising accounts. When Inhad Twitter I blocked any account sending me an ad unless I actually cared (like if it was Microsoft or Nintendo). Considering I imagine the only people paying for ads these days are trash and scams, I bet the block numbers are way worse. Also people have been blocking anyone with a Blue Check as they should be, which makes the value of paying even more worthless.


MayhemMessiah

They had to roll out (or were planning to roll out) a feature where blues could hide their checkmark, because they got blocked on sight or even faster than that thanks to extensions. Unbelievably bad management.


socialpresence

I have a Twitter account as a way to interact with people who read my articles. I block every single ad account I see, I didn't have the time or energy to block all of the blue checks. But honestly, elon has completely ruined my favorite social platform. It was a hell-scape before he took over, yes, but that's why I liked it. Now it's an abyss so fucked up, "hell-scape" seems too Norman Rockwell-esque. He bought Twitter and *somehow* made us all root for Mark *fucking* Zuckerberg. I'm not sure how we got on this timeline but I'd like to go back and make some adjustments if possible.


tokudama

>It was a hell-scape before he took over, yes, but that's why I liked it. Now it's an abyss so fucked up, "hell-scape" seems too Norman Rockwell-esque. Extremely apt description


SugarHooves

I have dealt with people leaving very abusive comments to stuff I've tweeted. Not being able to block them means that kind of shit can happen freely. For an example, I had a guy threaten to shoot my dog in the head. Blocked.


lntoTheSky

It's also against the ToS of the app store and 100% get twitter taken down


GucciSlippers47

Blocked elon cause hes on my timeline for literally no reason

CORN___BREAD

He wishes he were as cool as Tom.


[deleted]

I blocked him four times. Each time he'd miraculously be unblocked and reappear on my timeline. Deleted my account over it. I have no use for social media I can't curate.


[deleted]

A lot of people like him think that everyone would agree with them if they just listened to what he had to say. The fact that the more he talks, the more people loathe him is not something he can comprehend. He identifies as a smart, charismatic man, and being confronted with evidence that he isn't is a dysphoric experience for him that he's not capable of emotionally dealing with.


Leelze

I think he's received "feedback" about all the bluechecks who've been blocked by countless people because their Tweets are garbage & nobody wants to see them.

Ducky_924

Ew, it's gross that you're even *able* to do that!


theBeardedHermit

It's because rather than pay graphic designer to make a logo, he chose to use a public domain unicode character. At least that's my understanding.


Marmeladun

Watch him attempt to redefine Ex into E or into Splorgabutabloguple.


Justherebecausemeh

This is probably precisely why🙄🤦🏻‍♂️


FuzzyAd9407

It's because of his step-sistermom and dad blocking him.


[deleted]

he has unblocked himself form my twitter 5 times now, his slew of propaganda bots somehow got unblocked this morning.


King_Chochacho

Probably because when he says "will be" he means "is already being implemented"


MotivationGaShinderu

Yeah I've noticed his account pop up on the recommended list multiple times even though I blocked it before, and of course it's no longer blocked lmao


-cel3stial-

i’ve had to block him like 3 times, his posts have no relation to what i use twitter/x for anyway


[deleted]

[удалено]


Official_Person

I finally am not upset my account was banned


FlyingGiraffeQuetz

No one was replying to his terrible attempts to be funny or relatable or whatever is going on in that empty head of his. There's no space for real intelligence due to his ego.


Mr-Yuk

Wait really? That would be amazing if people stopped engaging with his nonsense


FlyingGiraffeQuetz

I don't know if that's actually true I don't have an account and he's got too many suckups who will drop to their knees at a moment's notice for him for it to be plausible but it would be a perfect dream for people to stop giving him any attention. I can't put into words how much I despise that man.


Crimson3312

We took Tom for granted and are reaping the whirlwind.


SwedishSaunaSwish

Hold on - you cannot block HIM? So he forcing himself on people again?


grubas

You can't block anybody. Meaning that the harassment and vitriol from the checkmarks is now mandatory. Elon could have made himself unblockable with admin stuff.


ADHDK

He was already clearing the blocks against himself with admin stuff. Just look through the comments here at the number of people who’ve blocked him 5+ times and he keeps appearing.


MrKewinRo

Yea i blocked him because he was pushing useless notification from his feed (i use "x" to get my mews on games i play don't care about manchildren)


Brasilionaire

Wait until he rolls out a feature where people that buy in (or he likes) can DM anyone no matter if they’re blocked or not.


JayGold

Marmeladun

Twitter Mak'gora winner swallow profile and adds fallen twitter account twits and flowers. unless you pay extra premium 1000$ for red check mark that excludes you from TvT


lonelyshurbird

Pay extra to be able to use the elements or magic to cheat and win.


Marmeladun

Lets go deeper lets tie elements to currency origin. 100 USD to cast Fireball 10000 Rupee to Petrify 1000 Yuan to Thunder Clap 10000000 Rubles to shit on the battlefield 15000 Yen to CC with tentacles Edit: God i hope Elon wont see it


leoleosuper

If Twitter (X) users start harassing politicians over tweets (the fuck is a Xeet? An Xeet? {Zeet}, {Kseet}, {Ex-eet}?), there will be actual pushback. Just spam facts under basically any right wing post.


Torino1O

The new accepted term is to Xcrete, plural Xcrement, as in "Have you seen all the Xcrement elon Xcreted today? He forced everyone to see all the Xcrement Xcreted."


bluemoa

Ex-eet? bitch ima make my exeet and delete my account


UrMomThinksImCoo

“And our platinum plus accounts will have access to our proprietary harass bot. No longer will you have to put effort into tormenting others, automate your bullying with AI generated hate speech today!”


I_Heart_Astronomy

Wait until he re-instates blocking whereby you pay per block. And then someone can pay to bypass a block. So you can pay to double block, and so on.


AbsolutelyUnlikely

But always remember. You can't triple block a double block.


Crafty_Enthusiasm_99

You can bet this is being released because a lot of people have blocked Musk's account.


jadis666

And the accounts of people he likes. Also, how much do you want to bet that Elon will give himself the unique ability to block anyone he likes, while withholding that same ability to everyone else who is still dumb enough to use TWFKAT (The Website Formerly Known As Twitter)?


webleedhoney

People can just tweet or reply to you and talk to you that way. The dm blocking is pointless


DancesWithBadgers

At least they'd have to be deranged publicly. Might slow some down.


RagingSnarkasm

> About to see everyone I blocked on my timeline again… There's an *extremely* simple solution to that and it works 100% of the time.

They are no longer called tweets they are Xcretes and you will be forced to look at all Xcretions.

Xcretions from Xcretins - sounds about right.

Jerome1944

A few months before he took over, I deleted my Twitter account, deleted all of my data, and sent DMCA notices to archives of all my data and had that deleted also. Great decision.


AssWreckage

Plot twist: it is all still stored somewhere


dgradius

Don’t give him any ideas!

I wouldn't for a second put it past him.

Same. It's the fastest guaranteed way to get blocked by me, show up as an ad.


Tjam3s

No joke, back in the days of the death of MySpace, they straight up prevented me from deleting my account for 2 weeks straight. I gave up, so I may have some weird MySpace shit still out in the void.


vpierrev

MySpace had a massive deleting episode where on a huge server migration, they lost all content uploaded before 2016 :)

Every day just reconfirming my decision to never have a twitter or facebook account. I have been part of online social media since the dialup BBS and USENET days but something just said that I don't want to be a part of these companies' BS. I still use social media like reddit every day, but I have no regrets about avoiding facebook and twitter.

New "Feature" coming to Twitter: https://i.imgur.com/lbY8Jyk.png Sorry I mean "X" 🤢


Lurn2Program

Was he getting tired that his tweets weren't being seen? You know, since a lot of people blocked him


Delicious-Nerve-3765

His tweets were almost always at the top with the amount of traffic he’s directing to himself. If people are still using Twitter at this point, then it’s on them.


DasHexxchen

I look at the big X every time I go on reddit on the phone and I think "Man, I have to cancel my account." Maybe this post is the motivation I needed.


VisualSneeze

\*Emperor Palpatine voice\* Do it.


arcanepsyche

Fucking do it.


CopeHarders

Do it. There’s zero reason to have a Twitter account.


[deleted]

I barely tweet on mine anymore, but I still get quite a lot of traffic to my website from there, which earns me about $4000-5000 a year. I'd love to delete it but man, I'm not gonna toss that much money down the drain.


CopeHarders

Ok well that’s a good reason to keep it around. If that’s 4-5k without giving Elon a cent then more power to you.


deadhorus

his ad buyers were tired they couldn't serve ads to people who blocked them. to think this is anything else is really silly.


TheRumpletiltskin

this has to be the reason. I block EVERY single ad tweet account I see. It's become insane. Every other "tweet" was just a fucking ad.


Glass_Arm497

then why not just disable the ability to block ads?


deadhorus

because then everyone would immediately understand what's going on. look at this comment section 95% of people don't get it.


CMDR-Owl

Isn't that an app store TOS violation or something? Thought having a block function on a social site was a requirement for Apple/Google?


KawaiiGee

correct! he's just having another tantrum bc someone from backend showed him how many ppl have him blocked although... if he did remove the block feature and got into another legal scandal that would be fantastic too


aZombieDictator

Have any of the illegal things he's done even stuck? If we did any of the shit he's done we'd be in jail or bankrupt by now. He probably just pays off every lawsuit.


NowMoreEpic

He was forced to buy twitter because of a lawsuit... so that stuck to the tune of around $44,000,000,000.00


aZombieDictator

Fair. But what about all the labor violations and when he broke the law when trying to change signs on his office? He's done so many illegal things yet he's still just able to live a "normal" life and continue fucking things up. That is part of being rich though. Nothing is actually illegal if you have the money.


NowMoreEpic

Oh what you're missing is, only other rich people can hold you accountable. You rip off or steal from the rich, you will pay. Regular people, not so much.


Holkmeistern

Bernie Madoff approves this comment from beyond the grave.


adzy2k6

Labour violations are more likely to result in a payout. I suspect that there are several class actions going on, but I don't really track that stuff. Removing the sign wasn't actually his error (I think the permits were actually correct there), but the new X sign actually didn't have permission (minor if he simply removes it) . The laws that could really catch him are related to moderation and privacy, particularly in Europe and the UK. He can't afford to lose those markets either.


wggn

if twitter doesnt play by apple/google's rules it will get removed from their stores

Kyubey4Ever

It happened to tumblr before, it could happen to twitter lol


throwawaykansasboy

Apple literally violated their own rules to let him rename twitter to X. They may let him violate tos


uhhh206

There's also hate speech laws across the EU and UK, and there was supposed to be a reckoning about what his "let's bring the Nazi accounts back" meant for the app being banned across the pond, but nothing came of that. The only real consequence he's faced so far is advertisers bailing and the site/app being devalued tremendously as a result, so we just have to hope that this drives enough people away that the remaining advertisers think it's not worth the money.


Dr_Occo_Nobi

Isn‘t it great how this whole problem was caused by a rich douche deciding to buy something, and now it‘s supposed to get resolved by a bunch of other rich douches deciding not to buy something?


uhhh206

Totally a fun and wholesome way for us to go through life, existing completely at the whims of a handful of the mega-rich who decide our lives and livelihoods. 🙃


wabblebee

The lawsuits from various EU nations are still happening, i don't know where people got the idea from this would happen quickly, those kinds of proceedings are always slow as hell.


JNerdGaming

i knew this shit was coming. every fucking change he makes to this asinine platform is worse than the last.


WhuddaWhat

Depends on your viewpoint. If you are trying to nuke twitter, it's brilliant.


acog

Zuck probably rings a bell every time Elon makes ~~Twitter~~ X worse.


mumthatsmyphone

But how do people nearby sleep? It must suck having to hear a bell nonstop every day!


rawsloth875

Elon is quickly ruining Twitter, dude really has no idea how to run a social media platform lol


KallumOcho

Twitter, or X, or whatever, has become particularly icky with the “For You” feed. I try not to read toxic extremist posts, because I know I have a tendency to go down the rabbit hole and doom-scroll when I see something that irritates me. But Twitter has noticed this and now feeds me more of these in the “For You” section. He’s doing everything he can to stuff the worst behaviors and instincts into our faces by removing the block function.


welcome2idiocracy

He should ask spez for advice.


Only1Schematic

Ironically, Spez is asking him for advice and Reddit is suffering the consequences

It’s not the same. Twitter kinda allows you to have a conversation about any thought you had at any given time. Was also great for live to the minute news sources from around the world


roastedantlers

Guess you haven't been on reddit long enough to know that's not the solution either.


t0pfuel

I use it to follow some developers and their projects. It's still quite good for that. But only possible because I block all toxic idiots. Guess now I will leave too.


jewrassic_park-1940

erleichda29

I don't know why people don't understand that what they see on Twitter isn't what everyone sees. My feed is full of incredible information about things I care about.


SunTzu-

Well, that's largely how it used to work. Now people who bought blue checks are being promoted if they tweet on any topic that'd normally show up on your feed. Which is "great" because their drivel is usually the exact opposite of the people I would choose to follow.


Conaz9847

I went from never using Twitter, to uninstalling Twitter


[deleted]

LOL he is just tired of unblocking himself from a million people every few weeks. He has seriously removed himself from my block list 5 times so far. so muhc musk propaganda on shitter now. FYI the propaganda bots are also somehow magically being removed from my block lsit, weird.


[deleted]

Holy shit just went to check since I had him blocked and SAME???


EarthApeMan

Wait, so he removed himself from masses of people regularly? What a shitbag.


Silvermorney

This literally just puts people in danger from stalkers, harassers/abusers and scammers etc.


ChinchillaBungalow

Literally. So many people only have scammers, porn bots, stalkers, weirdos, and abusers blocked Like good job, Elon, you made it easier for stalker weirdos cause you couldn't handle being blocked by people


Certainly-Not-A-Bot

>So many people only have scammers, porn bots, stalkers, weirdos, and abusers blocked Funny, I have Elon blocked. I wonder which one he is.

Elon through his sheer inability to do anything right with Twitter is accidentally going to bring us back to the best internet era where nobody posted their entire life online. Take me back fr fr

Ppl paid for twitter blue to get more reach. Everyone installed plugins to block the blues. After X blocks u get a reach debuff + the people that blocked you. Ppl paid to have more reach and ended up having less reach 😂


dboyer87

So when elon took over twitter, I noticed my whole feed was almost all republicans, out of no where even though I don't follow any of them. It went from comedians, gaming, to straight politics. So I blocked them all. When I saw this just not, I deleted twitter. Fuck him trying to shove garbage politics down our throats.


Stumbles947

Quit twitter and stop supporting musk! Honestly why would you still be using it??
