This is technically the better option as it doesn’t indicate via sidechannel that someone has blocked you.
It defeats the whole point of blocking as a safety mechanism against stalking, harassment, and mob dog piling behavior. Once again, Elon utterly fails to understand the service he bought.

I have no idea who that is, but Twitter/X increasingly sounds like it's degenerated into a schoolyard (where the richest kid asked his dad to buy the land next to the school building and put up a private playground for him).
This whole X debacle has fragmented the microblogging universe which is actually a good thing. TruthSocial and X have become right-wing staples. Threads seems to be full of positivity right now. Mastodon for the techies and niche communities. I've actually started exploring other sane places of community gathering like Reddit and oddly enough YouTube comments. As Karpathy recently commented, the YouTube comments sect…
It's starting to look like Xitter is asking itself "What would benefit users??" and then doing the exact opposite Or , they're trying to drive aways users. Or both. Elon has lost the thread.
What thread has Elon lost really? When Elon bought twitter there was a huge wave of people and the media telling us it was over in 6 months, when Elon fired staff they told us X would go down forever in a few months. Under Elon imo X has gotten a lot better, I see more content that relates to me and has since found myself using X more than all the other social media platforms combined. Blocking content makes no sense…
You do know that you shouldn't be looking at stuff it's recommending to you, right? Think of something you'd like to know more about and then look it up yourself.
I always thought this was a stupid restriction. You can't view the post while authenticated but you can view the post while unauthenticated.
It might look like this, but thinking about it, I guess it's still useful in reducing unwanted interactions. People are lazy, and thus adding even a little friction can help a lot in preventing them from doing stalkering, spreading hate etc. I.e. of course it's possible to login with another user, find the one who blocked you, make a screenshot or something and then quote it or perform any other interaction in your m…
It may be as simple as revealing blocked content is a short path to increasing outrage and thus engagement. Like, I could see Facebook doing this on Threads.

But the point is you can’t see these posts from a particular account. It makes interaction between the two accounts a bit more difficult and so a bit less likely.

The YouTube comment section is non-toxic because only the “wow, this is amazing” comments are shown. Anything critical gets buried.

If you don't want someone to point out your stupid takes don't make them in public.
