To be frank, this is stupid. I block accounts because they harass me, or I don’t want to see their content. But more specifically because I don’t want them to see what I am doing. This must be about Elon and the fact that I suspect that he gets blocked a lot and feels that this change needs to be made to address the fact that he has the thinnest skin on the planet. Well, if you look at the replies to this, it’s not going over well. And rival social network Bluesky who has a presence on Twitter joined in:
