:melon-musk: Secret big-brain techbro lord plan:
- release of the 'gold checkmark' for $15 to block blue and below
- release of the 'platinum checkmark' for $25 to harass gold and below
- etc.
Log in daily to earn 5 rubies. Exchange them for ban coins. Spend 5000 block removed to get another user's posts removed.
lol Hell yeah, then they can release a 'Battle Pass' system: for every 2^x people who use their ban coins on you, you unlock special premium icons for your account.
And for just $24.99 there's a second track that has special powers like ban coin vetoes or forced top reply to certain high profile accounts, including Elon Musk himself! :so-true:
how is c0ins a slur
edit: it's not. I don't know what slur I even typed at this point. Must have been a bad one. I'm so pathetic.
It has to be something like that, right?
I would be surprised if he is actually removing it without some sort of pay-to-block bullshit queued up, because then its just wanton stupidity instead of greed
Or maybe he can see how many people block him and he can't handle it
If they actually go through with it then this will probably be the actual deathblow.
Mass account deletion as people get spammed with adbots
Literally there was a honeypot this weekend for those t shirt art reposters to make a mass blocklist, how stupid can someone be?
I knew this was going to be his only response to users organically mass blocking his blue subscriber bootlickers. He's too fucking inept to have a creative solution like a brain genius space man should be able to think of. His solution is something a 7 year old would easily think of but be too embarrassed to say out loud
Right wingers: "If you don't like our speech, block us!"
Right wingers: [Remove blocking]
Elon said that “blocking public posts makes no sense” and saying that “it needs to be deprecated in favor of a stronger form of mute.”
the block button but only for twitter blue users
100% what he's aiming for. The site will be unusable without paying $14.88/month to use the most basic features
With my internet habits, at this point I'll have missed:
Vine Twitter Tik tok Instagram Snapchat
and im sure probably more.
Don't get old folks.
The only goal at the end of the day is to trigger the libs. Can't trigger people who block you.
I give it a month before Elon offers a service where leftist-sounding chatbots show up in your feed so chuds have something to scream at.
Kind of genius tbh. We should really invest in spam bots to argue in circles with chud keyboard warriors
What an amazingly stupid decision. Blocking is essential to have on social media with how out of control harassment gets.
Next they’re going to introduce a feature that forces users to reply to DMs.
if this actually happens, i might actually make a twitter account just so i can cyberbully terfs
I've been blocking upwards of like 6 porn follow bots a week for several months. Every time my comment gets more than like 5 likes I get a follow and immediately block them.
This is gonna be so bad.
My normie friends are already complaining about how there's Nazi shit in the replies to every single tweet. I'm sure this will fix that particular problem.
It's funny how bad this guy is at social media. Like when his PR campaign was in charge people thought he was this messiah. But once he took the helm he steered straight into the rocks.
it means his shitty tweets will pollute your timeline eternally. there's some people i can bully, sure, but none that will read my tweets before they're hidden by the algo. as soon as the block feature is gone, i will stop using twitter for sure.
someone is going to suggest making people pay to block someone and that will be the closest the whole thing ever comes to even threatening to make a profit
