Im honestly surprised twitter is still standing. Like how. How is it still going.
I wonder if this is because many people on Twitter just automatically block anyone with a blue checkmark (paid) when they see a response and the trolls have their feelings hurt so they run to Musk shouting about how they paid to be heard so he should force people to unblock them. That's the kind of childish argument I would expect.
Is advertising revenue so important to them they're willing to sacrifice literally everything else for it?
If it's not easy to use reddit, who will use reddit?
3rd-party Twitter clients are going to have quite a spike in popularity then, just need to implement clientside blocking. It won't prevent the person blocked from seeing your posts, but that's kind of impossible to enforce on a public platform, anyway.
Twitter is killing those, too: https://www.theverge.com/2023/1/22/23564460/twitter-third-party-apps-history-contributions
Looks like Twitter is following in Reddit's foot steps, or maybe the other way around?
