Another modification to Twitter/X – block feature going

Users of Twitter (X) platform will no longer be able to block other accounts, its Chief Executive Officer, Elon Musk, has said.

Musk stated this in a post shared via the platform on Friday, noting that the feature made “no sense” and would soon be unavailable for users.

He however said the block feature would remain for direct messages.

“Block is going to be deleted as a ‘feature’, except for DMs,” Musk wrote.

The block feature helps people in restricting specific accounts from contacting them, seeing their posts, and following them.

Musk said users can instead use the “mute” feature as an alternative to blocking.

The mute option means the user who does the muting cannot see the other account’s posts on their timeline.

However, it does not prohibit the muted user from following and replying the content of the one who muted them.
