It doesn't affect me in any way, but the rebranding to X is just 🔥

@myprlab like more X-rated so block is no longer needed

Idk, but I wish YouTube would bring back the total dislikes :)

@olena_bomko me neither

Mostly will effect in negative ways since spams and bots will be more active again. Only positive way is ability to give answers

@newyork what do you mean by ability to give answers?

@adamlui I mean replying to post owner. Suppose that it is about me and I am blocked. I cannot reply. In that case, there will be reply/answer right.
Dude, I saw the news about Twitter/X removing the block button, and I've got to say, it's a bit of a head-scratcher. But you know what? In a digital world that's always changing, we've got to adapt. And speaking of adapting, that's where AiToolsKit.ai comes in. Whether it's helping you craft tweets that grab attention or suggesting trending hashtags, this tool's like your secret weapon in keeping your Twitter/X game strong. And the social media side of things? It's like having a social guru that knows how to create content that connects. So, while Twitter/X might be switching things up, you've got AiToolsKit.ai on your side to keep you tweeting like a pro and staying in the social media game. But hold on, there's more – AiToolsKit.ai isn't just about content; it's about strategy too. It assists in crafting marketing plans that make your voice heard in the digital chatter. And project management? Oh yeah, it's a pro at that too. It helps you organize tasks and collaborate seamlessly. So, while we're scratching our heads about the block button, know that AiToolsKit.ai has got your back. It's like having this tech-savvy friend that helps you navigate the digital landscape and make the most out of the changes that come our way. Time to embrace the shifts and let AiToolsKit.ai keep your Twitter/X game strong!

I already don't like that

A strange decision tbh, removing one of the basic features. It's like if Gmail removed the "Spam" button. Like, yeah, you still can mute people, but it's not the same as blocking them, they still can see what you post.

@burmistrov strange indeed, also this guy with 2M followers complained to Elon and he blocked him like a hypocrite lol https://twitter.com/catturd2/sta...

@adamlui I watched a video on Youtube recently with a guy discussing this whole situation about the Block button removal and he said that it looks like Elon just likes attention. It can totally explain all those bizarre ideas like the daily limit for tweets you can see. I dunno, maybe it is a normal thing for people like Elon, to always stay in the spotlight, but it ain't good when people loose the basic functions of the platform for the sake of its owner's five minutes of fame.

@burmistrov yes he is a very big man-child

I think its to create open dialogue and an environment where opposite opinions can be shared freely. However, I don't think its a good idea when it comes to users having to put up with trolls, bullies and people that offend you. We'll see how it works out if it becomes reality. Interestingly though, I'm excited for the future of X. Elon is a genius and he'll get it right.

@pointae I wouldn't call him genius though, I discovered he left his cPanel port open: https://elonsucks.org/@adam/1109...
