Poll: Should Twitter/X no longer have blocking functionality?

4 points by sacrosanct ↗ HN
So Twitter could potentially no longer have blocking functionality[0]. I use blocking to make my Twitter/X experience a lot more friendlier and have blocked & muted ~300 accounts because I never have to want to see certain accounts in my feed...ever

Private companies can and should do whatever they want (obviously within reason, not talking about whatever fantastical extremes), and reap whatever rewards come of it.

If Elon wants to remove blocking or muting, great! He'll see the cost or benefit of that very quickly. If you don't like it, then leave the platform. It's the best decision for both parties involved. I don't see what a poll achieves.

Missing option: Cowboy Neal and I do not use Twitter / X, so we do not care.
