In a sane country, we wouldn’t allow AR-15s in the hands of anyone, let alone a white supremacist with a history of mental issues. And we wouldn’t have to lock down whole school campuses and have students crawl out of windows to save themselves from an active shooter. Other countries have passed laws to prevent this madness. Yet, we allow it regularly to happen.

Who needs a smartwatch when you could have this!?

I can't even...they're going to remove blocking from #Twitter or #X or whatever the fuck it's called today.

This is absolutely brain-dead. Muting only stops you seeing them. Blocking prevents them replying with shit that others will see, that you then can't see. Removing blocking is just so stupid.

So many reasons why a hard block is necessary from bots to harassment. They don't stop just because you can't see them ffs.
