I used to be Twitter, but dropped it years ago. Block allowed you to prevent people from commenting on your tweets as well as prevented you from seeing them or them seeing your tweets. They could obviously logout and view your tweets anonymously, but the most important benefit was if you have a nasty creep/stalker/asshole posting vile comments on your tweets, if you block them, they can't do that any more. And believe me, even 8 years ago when I was still on Twitter (let alone now in this political environment) trolls were rampant.
how did you feel when elon bought you?
Lol, @AGreaterMonster, formerly known as Twitter.
I’m confused by the Memmy app…I can’t tell if you are commenting on my comment or something else. And the comments won’t load in the app either so I can’t even see my own comment as a reference.
However, if it wasn’t clear, I was on Twitter between 10 years - 8 years ago. I quit Twitter long before Elon was involved in any way. So if your comment was directed at me, it doesn’t make sense. Good luck storming the castle!
you just had a typo which was funny :)
I can’t even read what I wrote due to this buggy app! Oof.
did you try infinity for lemmy? i have not, but i did like infinity for reddit
I haven't heard of that one. The Memmy app is just terrible so far...every single time that I come to a thread, it says "Comments Loading" spin, spin, spin, spin... and they never show up. I'm only able to see this because I came to the browser version. I'll search for it, thanks.
I just searched, and it's only for Android so I can't try it.
:(
Oh so if u mute, they can still comment on your tweets but u won't see? It's functionally the same as lemmy right? (U block someone, they can comment on your posts and u don't see). So it becomes more problematic because twitter is more personal?
Imagine you "mute" someone and then that person starts doxing you on your tweets and you can't even report it.
