    it’s unavoidable to center Elon here but can we just take a step back and appreciate how stupid, bad, and completely antithetical to a usable website this idea is? blocking has been a feature on like everything since phpBB forums because it literally just works. it’s an easy way to curate your experience without escalating and it’s a logical imitation of being able to simply avoid a person in real life. the idea of removing this in favor of nothing but mutes is just goofy as fuck (and if you make muting the new “block”, what’s even the difference between them? people will just use them basically the same way!).

      Muting means other people can still comment on your stuff, and everyone else but you can see it.

      Its so transphobes and homophobes can continue commenting on LGBT people’s content.

    Is advertising revenue so important to them they’re willing to sacrifice literally everything else for it?

    If it’s not easy to use reddit, who will use reddit?

      The same people who hooted and hollered about Netflix ending password sharing and then went ahead and made their own account anyway because they can’t be arsed to read a book or find something else to do to fill their sad little lives.
