      On case anyone is unfamiliar with the situation, this is likely not a joke. He probably is the most blocked user on Twitter.

    Don’t most app stores have terms and conditions that require social media websites to have actual functional block features? Having them only work for DMs doesn’t feel very functional…

    I am so glad I ditched twitter when Musk took over. Blocking abusive people is a critical function on that cesspool of a social medium.

    Unreal. It’s not even incompetence, he really is just tanking the site on purpose.

      No he’s not.

      He’s a right wing grifter and always has been. And like many on the right, he views harassment as a form of “free speech” which should be acceptable.

      He’s not tanking the site on purpose. He’s tanking it because his bullshit ideology naturally results in creating a hostile environment that people don’t want to be a part of.

    The block “feature” is a required tool for being listed on the Google and Apple stores, among others.

    Removing it will get Twitter delisted from them as well.

      That’d be nice if it actually applied, but Apple has already made exceptions for X among other large companies to allow them to play by different rules in the store. So I’m not holding my breath for any sort of punishment.

      Examples:

      • X got a one letter App Store name that was previously against the rules (other devs need their app name to be at least 2 characters) (more info)
      • YouTube had been blocking iOS PiP background playback (not sure if they still do) and put that feature behind the YouTube Premium subscription. Background playback and PiP is part of iOS’s system capabilities and the rule specifically says it’s not allowed. See Apple’s guidelines section 3.2.2 (ii) here. With this, one could make the argument that PiP would only support system supported video decoding, and YouTube uses DASH for higher resolution videos, but YouTube does offer video and audio streams that are natively supported by Apple as well so I don’t hold much support for this argument.

        “Background playback” is behind the premium paywall; NOBODY gets YouTube PIP support on iOS; such a shame.

        I repeat, even if you pay for premium you simply can’t do PIP using the official app. You can however use a browser and use PIP that way I think (there used to be some weird workaround but I’m not sure if it still exists).

        Edit: I was (happily) wrong! I see now, they added it halfway though 2022 and I needed to go into settings and explicitly enable it. I’m a happy camper now! Thanks for the correction

    Literally every single day we have idiots doing Musk’s PR work for free.

    Downvote Musk spam. The billionaire doesn’t need your help making sure his businesses stay in the 24 hour news cycle.

    I need to block like 5 bot follows and three fake crypto impersonation accounts including me in a retweet daily. This would break the experience completely for me.
