@arc for me, muting is meant to prevent you from seeing other people's posts. blocking is to make it so that accounts can't interact with yours. it isn't just about not being able to see your account... if you wanted that you would just lock your account (although twitter does need more robust functionality when it comes to private posting). if i block someone, i don't want them to even be able to reply to my posts for other people to see.
@arc so the only thing it changes is that they can still see your profile? Like why even make this change at all. It seems pointless.
@beardalaxy That's what I'm thinking, this kind of just seems like a "normalfags figuring out what an adblocker is" moment
@beardalaxy Hmm, okay. It does seem like this block change still prevents all the usual stuff like replies and quoting and stuff. But in a way it could make it easier for people to gang up on someone.
