    No they aren’t. They are changing how it works, in a way that is mostly immaterial to the user. That is not even close to completely removing.

      No longer being able to hide your public posts from specific users seems hardly immaterial to me.

      Yep.

      From the sounds of it:

      Before: if you block somebody, they cannot see your stuff.

      After: if you block somebody, they can still visit your profile.

      Usually, when you block someone, they can no longer see your feed; instead, it’s replaced with a message stating that they’re blocked. Now, they can freely browse your feed; they’re just not allowed to interact or comment on your posts.

      NGL Elon’s excitement sounds like he was blocked by a lot of people and Daddy Musk will not have closed doors in this household! 😮‍💨

        Stalkers and abusers rejoice!

        Seriously, if you are on twitter and have had a relationship with someone like this do not post on your account or they will find you now.
