    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.

      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.
