Mr. “assassination coordinates” said he was going to live stream driving to Zucks house to fight him, which would effectively doxx Zuck. Expecting logical consistency is silly.
If you mute someone, you don’t see their posts. They don’t get any notification that you have muted them. It’s the same as blocking but they don’t know they are blocked.
Blocking is a step up from muting. Muting just makes it so you don’t see the muted users’ posts and comments. Blocking makes it so that the blocked user is muted, plus they cannot see any of your posts and comments. Blocked users also cannot @ you.
The only difference between block and mute is that your are informing them they are blocked, prompting them to make an alt so that they can keep doing shit.
Thanks for the correction. I thought it was different at some point, but to be fair I haven’t used Twitter in many years now. I just assumed it was still similar to how most other apps handle it.
If you block someone else on Twitter, they can’t even see your profile at all (muting still allows them to see your profile and interact with everything you post or retweet). Sure, it tells them they’re blocked, but this also means they can’t interact with anything you post at all. If they want too, they’ll either have to make an alt account (someone most are too lazy to do) or ask fellow toxic assholes to screenshot your posts for them to see.
Muting is useless when dealing with harassers. It’s why the block feature was added; because minority communities begged for it.
what’s the difference between block and mute? Block just lets them not see your feed and notifies them of this, but mute just hides anything they post from you?
Muting people that harass you instead of blocking them enable them to just spam libel about you onto your posts, which can have other effects. At least with blocking, they can’t just do it on your actual posts.
So… Wait.
This means someone can just @ someone else and destroy their feed with hate or dick pics or whatever?!
I’ll bet doxxing is allowed now too, there’s no way he has people to stop that.

He’s started asking for driver’s licenses now so maybe he’s gonna dox people
Yeah, people should bail or there’s going to be a whole lot of “leopards at my face” content soon.
Sounds like people should start setting up nasty ass porn bots and have them spam Musk constantly
Ooooooh I’ve been looking for a self hosted project like that
Yep, I think so. And “someone else” includes Elon.
Do with that information what you will :D
Yes, that’s the goal.
How does mute work?
Blue checks will complain about it, then want a feature to get around that.
Complain about mute? How will they know they have been muted?

Blocking lets them know they need to make another account to continue to harass you.
Something most won’t do because it requires more time and effort on their part. Plus, blocking alt accounts is super quick and easy.
They will if they hate you enough.
Muted accounts can’t @ you either.

Incorrect. I’d already explained the differences to you in another post.

It is different, he’s just being dishonest.

Yeah, insane. it lets them see your stuff and also @ you to other people.
smh.
Even better they can spam literal child porn at you because of “outrage” and youll get a exec from Twitter defending you to parliament!
