It doesn't affect me in any way, but the rebranding to X is just 🔥

@myprlab like more X-rated so block is no longer needed

Idk, but I wish YouTube would bring back the total dislikes :)

@solomon_bush actually I wrote a userscript that does that https://www.ytclassic.com/

Mostly will effect in negative ways since spams and bots will be more active again. Only positive way is ability to give answers

@newyork what do you mean by ability to give answers?

@adamlui I mean replying to post owner. Suppose that it is about me and I am blocked. I cannot reply. In that case, there will be reply/answer right.

@newyork ok got it. also i just noticed your username is very good

I already don't like that

A strange decision tbh, removing one of the basic features. It's like if Gmail removed the "Spam" button. Like, yeah, you still can mute people, but it's not the same as blocking them, they still can see what you post.

@adamlui I watched a video on Youtube recently with a guy discussing this whole situation about the Block button removal and he said that it looks like Elon just likes attention. It can totally explain all those bizarre ideas like the daily limit for tweets you can see. I dunno, maybe it is a normal thing for people like Elon, to always stay in the spotlight, but it ain't good when people loose the basic functions of the platform for the sake of its owner's five minutes of fame.

@burmistrov strange indeed, also this guy with 2M followers complained to Elon and he blocked him like a hypocrite lol https://twitter.com/catturd2/sta...

@burmistrov yes he is a very big man-child

I think its to create open dialogue and an environment where opposite opinions can be shared freely. However, I don't think its a good idea when it comes to users having to put up with trolls, bullies and people that offend you. We'll see how it works out if it becomes reality. Interestingly though, I'm excited for the future of X. Elon is a genius and he'll get it right.

@pointae I wouldn't call him genius though, I discovered he left his cPanel port open: https://elonsucks.org/@adam/1109...
