    Well, I don’t use Twitter. So that’s all you.
    But blocking accounts have been a thing for decades. It’s not a new concept.

      In closed systems like messengers, where you don’t see any content unless logged in, yes. There, it works brilliantly. But on Twitter, this is like cutting out something from a newspaper when there’s a news stand right next door.

          And it’s exactly like this now, if I understand the change correctly. They only removed the “you can’t see this post because the owner limits who can see it” thing. Blocked people still can’t reply.

            Yeah. It works like a Discord block basically. (Ignoring that Discord doesn’t block users in group voice settings.)
