   Doesn't affect me anymore, but I'm unsurprised to see that Musk is neutering the blocking feature over at the deadbird site.

   I speculate that one goal is to ensure that his can force-feed his own vile ranting to everyone who uses the site.

     they removed the block feature from their API back in March, so I am surprised they waited this long.

     I think many people would take their account private because of this.
