A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Is advertising revenue so important to them they're willing to sacrifice literally everything else for it?

If it's not easy to use reddit, who will use reddit?

he's pissed because people started installing browser extensions like Block The Blue

LOL that is probably because I've been blocking Elon's profile for a while now. I'm pretty sure this has to do with his profile being blocked by more and more people.

WTF is “a stronger form of mute?”

Wouldn't this open Twitter up to harassment charges? I mean, it's Musk so it is obviously an ego thing and not a well thought out idea, but couldn't someone sue because they can no longer block someone tweeting hateful things to them?

But is this maybe because "blocking" is a feature that requires too much programming on twitter? I don't see the point in this.

It's unclear if he's distinguishing posts from the users that make them.

Blocking users is important, but posts less so (but I still loved to block posts if they were obnoxious and kept getting shared)

You could see this coming the moment we started blocking blue checkmarks.
