More genius ideas from the CEO of Twitter including...removing the block user feature.
People say its down to his Twitter Blue users complaining at him because anyone with sense has blocked them so their engagement numbers aren't as high as they want. But it's a double edged sword, they'll also have blocked people for a reason that they don't want coming back. Think it will be, yet another, instance of them trying something and realising "Oh fuck right, maybe we shouldn't have done that"

He couldnt give a fuck about the twitter blue users complaining, its because any right thinking person is blocking the account of any advert they see because its funny.

It now seems to be impossible to block all the weird culture war idiots like Matt Walsh, Tim Pool etc, and they appear constantly in my feed. Fun times.

Good to see he's really sticking to his guns about making sure there's no echo chamber.

I get a notification about a tweet and its not from anyone I follow and its some right wing tool expressing outrage at something. I even got the wise words of Andrew Tate notified.

Cannot think of any good reasons to have notifications enabled for Twitter. Aside from maybe DMs.
Is anyone else using pinned lists more now but finds you get kicked back to the For You page every time you exit the app for more than 5 seconds?

I seem to be a massive outlier here, but I've found the For you tab working really well recently and I see a lot of things from people I'm interested in or follow that I would have otherwise missed. I don't see anything from far right accounts etc., and I don't have many accounts muted or blocked. I think I now use it more than the Following tab.
I do see more cute dog videos than is acceptable however.

I also see that the "wildly popular" video by Matt Walsh about... surprise, surprise GENDER has many millions of views and is being used as proof of "a movement". Strangely Walsh has actually clarified that the views are actually impressions such as the video playing automatically as people scroll past it in their feed. Obviously Musk hasn't clarified this like the absolute cuntstain he is.

Have they locked everything behind log in now? I’m sure I could search before? My anonymous front page is mostly dogs and football, which as a cat loving tennis fan I’m outraged about.

Yeah I've given up on twitter now as since I binned my account, I can't search.
I'm sure it's possible somehow but not that fussed any longer.

Theres a story here in N Ireland of a woman, murdered with the police not even able to formally identify her because of the human remains found after a week. Look at the first reply to a tweet on it and it's from some blue check about how it's all a hoax and using a barely passing resemblance to an actress as proof and the only place where she is missing from is his bed.
Really do despair how shite Twitters made these arseholes, usually confined to the hidden replies.

I only look at twitter in a browser and due to links on this site, but a chrome extension to block everyone with a blue tick seems to make it a much less horrible place. There are several, but the one I'm trying is this one: chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/bluesblocker/dbcfmkldigmecjpjeojbcfbjidmcngfe(Note that there can be a slight delay with it blocking things) I guess you could say i'm filter-bubbling myself, but it seems like a price worth paying. Dunno if it works on mobile.

The whole world needs to uninstall twitter, wait for something better, and if that doesn't work, stop communicating.
The above plan closes twitter and at least partially bankrupts Musk. Let it grow on you.

Yep, nothing suspect about this. 1 billion impressions for sure. Definitely.

I suspect that if/when they have to start paying people for 1bn impressions, those figures are going to get more realistic very quickly.

Just from basic napkin maths, and you know, the like ratio, it's just absolutely stunning how transparent it all is, but then I guess the people actively paying for blue ticks aren't using a lot of brain power.

Get ready for a lot more engagement bait from the blue tick brigade: I am thinking that my decision to install that blue tick blocker was a good one.
Though if you fuckers would stop posting twitter links here then I wouldn't actually need it as I'd never go to twitter.
Why is everyone who hates twitter telling people about how bad twitter is on twitter?

I've seen it pop up several times, with different people sharing and adding their take. If that adds a count, then I have probably seen it 10 times at least (not clicked, just scrolled past).
Stats on Twitter for impressions are pointless, even more so for video when a few seconds counts as a view.

I'm not going to post it but that picture of the normal looking adventurer from Fable was "fixed" by some Blue Tick twat by using AI to turn her into some Victoria's Secret model with tons of make up. It got lots of engagement from people calling him a twat. Other Blues agreed with the original Twatter. Apparently someone in a mythical medieval version of Britain has to look like someone to knock one out to.
A complete copy of what some prior moron did with a picture of Aloy a year or so ago.
