A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I mean, why would you be surprised at anything at this point?
It's sad seeing Twitter take such a nose dive (more so then it already has). I met quite a fee friends on the platform and, despite it's many, many, MANY flaws, was still nice to be on when you interacted with friends. I hope my friends start using more decentralized social media soon with how much of a toxic environment Elon is trying to foster
Isn't this because he doesn't want to pay Google's bill that they already signed a deal with? I hope Twitter implodes and Elon loses millions
Wouldn't this open Twitter up to harassment charges? I mean, it's Musk so it is obviously an ego thing and not a well thought out idea, but couldn't someone sue because they can no longer block someone tweeting hateful things to them?
The source showed the tweet as an image, so I went into the sewer waters from Fritter. And, yep, it's genuinely there.
It's not even that I believe him unable to have such bad takes: it's not the first time. I have just seen a few fake ones. But the fake ones aren't even needed!
I assume he will still have the block button though.
Battle royale!
But is this maybe because "blocking" is a feature that requires too much programming on twitter? I don't see the point in this.
