Seems more like a clever ploy to show community notes employed on the owner’s tweets. It gives the illusion the feature is unbiased.

I agree with him. It's pointless on a public platform aside from DMs.

I don’t know if this is still going ahead but:

1: Count me as an ‘X’ fan

2: I think blocking is essential to any social media. I’m not a fan myself — say whatever dumb shit, I think it’s good practice to have and try to master self control — but it’s a pretty key part of the toolset for customizing your experience. Especially if you end up with someone, say, spamming your replies.

Funny that for the past 4 months or so, maybe a little more (this is post acquisition) I've started being followed by fake profiles, a handful every week, sometimes more. Reporting them is useless because their moderation doesn't see any issues, so I remove them as followers and block them. If blocking is removed, will be nice to see how much fake engagement will be created from those accounts alone.

Man.

Just few days ago we had the news about X (ex-Twitter) losing $40 billion in value after the change name.
