A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Up next, everyone who joins Twitter gets a free king Cobra delivered to them at a random point in the future.
I reckon he's just really really fucking short-sited tbh. He seems to forget that there are people on twitter, or were tbh.
Are you kidding? Being able to block people who are harraing you is the ONLY thing that keeps social media civil. What the actual fuck.
WTF is “a stronger form of mute?”
E-gun
It probably means you can’t prevent someone with Twitter Blue to show up in your timeline.
This level of nob gobbling takes focus.
Well damn, the only way I use twitter is by liberally blocking everything and just getting news from stuff I care about, since there is no other platform like it that everyone uses and updates regularly. They already started pushing stuff to my feed that I don't follow, now they are removing the ability to block and keep my feed clean too? They really are doing everything in their power to make me stop using it huh
What could possibly go wrong?
When toxic idiots on Twitter drive everyone off, they'll be the only ones left.
Then they'll turn on each other, harassing bots and trolls who'll scream that nothing's being done because they are being dragged.
Then when only the most toxic are left, and they have no one else to intimidate, harass, or make miserable; they'll leave.
I just don't understand some of these decisions...
Maybe he found out how many people blocked him.
100% this. He can't take rejection. You will love him, even if he has to force you.
Least destructive Elon moment
How in the world is that a good idea...
Pre Twitter takeover this would have been surprising. Now seems par for the course.
