I still prefer to refer to him as “Leon.”

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

"Elmo" is better if you ask me. They're both annoying children that need to shut the fuck up and go away.

Elmo is beloved and doesn't hurt anyone. Put some respect on his name.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

As someone who once had a toddler, he's not beloved, he's hated by most parents. Because he's fucking awful. Stop talking to the fish and the baby, Elmo! They can't fucking understand you! Also, you don't seem to notice that Mr. Noodle keeps changing and that lack of basic attention to detail is worrying.

On top of that, his parents basically neglect him, which is why you never see him.

Fuck Elmo. Give me Cookie Monster, Ernie and Bert and Oscar the Grouch.

Yeah get him! Elmo has been dodging the consequences of his war crimes for far too long.

He acts literally like a fucking toddler.

Perhaps even a toddler in a tantrum.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Now that's just kind of rude toward toddlers. He acts like what he is... a Ketamine addled, narcissistic billionaire, who got lucky in life and thinks he crafted his own destiny all by his own hands.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Ketamine is a dissociative which strips away what you know about things, sort of like how a child doesnt know things. So in a way, he's actually a toddler.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 weeks ago

Fair enough, fair enough. Toddlers are way more pleasant than him, even when they've shat their pants. I apologise to all toddlers.

Twitter is now removing the block function next. It ought to bleed users like crazy.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

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! 😮‍💨

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Your scenario doesn't exist. All you had to do to get around this was make a new profile.

X/Twitter will soon be making more changes to the block button, with CEO Elon Musk confirming that all public posts will be viewable going forward, even to those who have been blocked

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago (5 children)

I thought most stuff was viewable even without account. Doesn't seem like a big deal if you can view their post but not interact with it since I would've thought others interacting with you was what you wanted to block them from doing anyway.

Isn't that how it works on most platforms though? You can see the account you've been blocked by, but can't interact with them.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

On reddit it stopped the blocked person from seeing your account and comments.
Or it used to. Or I'm misremembering.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 weeks ago

Which is not even a big deal because blocked users could just create a separate account to view posts they're blocked from anyway.
