Nope, Twitter blocking is a poorly designed feature that permanently degrades the user experience.
- malfist 2y agoHow can you say that? Especially given that this is a big news item, clearly people find it useful.
- tmpz22 2y agoWhose user experience is it degrading? The blocker or the person who behaved in such a way that they got blocked?
- pbreit 2y agoMostly the blockee. Although I think it also devalues the service for some/many blockers.
- kstrauser 2y agoIf I had a Twitter account and blocked someone, it would be with the intention of devaluing the service for them. Someone who was awful enough that I bothered blocking them would devalue my service if they could keep annoying me.
- pbreit 2y agoThere's a lot of unnecessary blocking. An example of blockers losing value: Tesla bears were chronic blockers, even passing around blocklists. Nowadays Tesla bears seem to have lost all relevance.
- dionidium 2y ago> "The blocker or the person who behaved in such a way that they got blocked?" People get blocked for all kinds of reasons, most of them relatively innocent.
