Thanks for letting everyone know you’re full of shit.
it shouldn’t be taught to kids
You think trans kids are taught to be trans? With that shitty logic, we should be able to teach kids to be straight and cis… except wait, that doesn’t work either! Doh!
This book goes a step further and acts like its a good thing, and not a last resort for mentally ill suicidal people.
If you block someone else on Twitter, they can’t even see your profile at all (muting still allows them to see your profile and interact with everything you post or retweet). Sure, it tells them they’re blocked, but this also means they can’t interact with anything you post at all. If they want too, they’ll either have to make an alt account (someone most are too lazy to do) or ask fellow toxic assholes to screenshot your posts for them to see.
Muting is useless when dealing with harassers. It’s why the block feature was added; because minority communities begged for it.
How can muted accounts make so that you see what their doing?
By encouraging fellow trolls/assholes to quote, reply and retweet your tweets so you’re forced to see them. Also, someone that is muted can still personally reply, quote and retweet your tweets as well; you just won’t see it, not unless they find a way around it (as I already described how). Toxic assholes always find away around mute features because it’s garbage and isn’t useful at all.
If you still can’t figure out why removing the block feature will be devastating for a significant portion of Twitters user-base, than you’re either acting in bad faith, obtuse, or one of the very toxic assholes that will be thrilled to see blocking removed.
Edit: Oh and one final thing; Lemmy has a block feature. Anymore ridiculous responses from you will result in just that. I can’t take anything you say on this topic seriously anymore.
