    Elon Musk “Deleting” Block Option on X

    *sigh*

    We’d really love to have one day, ONE DAY, without Elon Musk doing/saying/starting something so stupidly ill-advised as what we’re about to tell you. If you’ve never been harassed by someone on social media to the point of needing to block them, you’re in the minority. Also, congratulations? We guess?

    For most social media users however, the ability to block someone is a necessity. Aside from harassment and the occasional outright threats, there’s the ubiquitous pornbots and scammers, all of which Twitter (now X) users won’t be able to block anymore.

    In a tweet response to Tesla Owners Silicon Valley’s question about block vs mute, Musk responded that he is indeed planning to remove the block feature.

    Block is going to be deleted as a “feature”, except for DMs

    — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) August 18, 2023

    This isn’t the first time he’s threatened this, but considering other decisions he’s made in recent weeks, this one could happen.

    We’ll let you know what we hear about this and other news.

    UPDATE

    Probably worth mentioning this little factoid-

    Elon cannot remove the block feature from Twitter because Apple and Google require it to be a feature in all apps with similar user features or else they cannot have their app distributed via those platforms.

    Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
