That was actually the plan last year, but the twittards screeched about it until it was quietly shelved again. They didn't want to not see the people they blocked; they wanted the people they blocked to not see them. They hated the idea that people they disagreed with would still be able to read their tweets.
Lady... it's Twitter. $190 for mind-dumping into your phone every so often is a great payout. I was expecting it to be less than a dollar.
To be fair, they absolutely want this as a way to show "growth". There's a reason they didn't purge the massive amount of bots on their site until they had a gun to their head.
Being pissed that you didn’t make thousands of dollars from tweeting is like being pissed that the MLM scheme you signed up for didn’t earn you enough money to buy a brand new car.
Quoting myself from last October. Do it do it do it! The milk will be extra frothy.
This is an excellent point. All the lefty and right wing grifters on Twitter crying over this is very telling. Too many people on both sides have been content in their hugboxes. It's got fuck all to do with safety like some are claiming because they can block DMs, and any stalkers can view their tweets by just browsing incognito.
I see the logic here but I think the people who block en mass also like to control the narrative of the responses to their tweets. Blocking those they disagree with means they're only getting agreeable responses to their hot takes, which makes silent viewers more likely to believe the OP has the "correct" opinion that everyone agrees with. Just muting removes that control. They can limit replies to followers and tagged if they care so much, but that's too obvious an echo chamber to the outside viewer.
Is Nitter borked for good with the recent changes?
Boy do I want these large networks shut down by some enterprising government, so tired of their preferential treatment and celeb status of owners.
It’s awful, but I’m not shocked at all. I’ve seen this happen before and even in the days before all the automated bullshit, it worked because nobody wants to actually check for anything, they just swing the banhammer and ask questions later.

Some are shut down for various legal reasons, while others simply don't work. The error on broken ones is posted in this issue, opened on August 15:
If you mirror this Logo its becomes a freemason symbol. Musk is full of shit. His mom is big time into the occult and Elon himself wore a Satan's Champion costume to a Halloween party. Oh and I was banned for 2 weeks for replying to thread that was calling for Fauci to be prosecuted, I said he should be executed. Fuck Twitter/X.
What's that? Two straight lines intersecting each other? It's the Freemasons/Deepwater Jews/Hollow Earth Lizard People!
