I killed my Twitter account the day after Muskrat was forced to buy it.
Fun Fact: If he does this, Twitter will get removed from both app stores.
I killed mine the day he unbanned the orange moron. Like, I knew it was going to be a shitshow once Musk got his hands on it within weeks of having it. Soon as he did that unbanning though, I was out.
Both app stores require a block feature?
I can't speak for Apple but Google does. It falls under their user-generated content policy which requires you to "Provides an in-app system for blocking UGC and users". Google is generally the more lenient of the two when it comes to policies, so I'd be highly surprised if Apple didn't have it...
Apple too requires mechanisms to block stalkers from what I saw on Mastodon.
Fingers crossed!
I knew the ship was sinking but I stayed around until the name change to X because official and then I bounced. Made it here after Reddit and twitter made more recent bad decisions.
this is me.. as soon as I saw the X I jumped ship .. fuck where that place is heading
