For your own safety: leave #Twitter
It’s not worth putting your safety in risk over a social media platform
After the community rules crumbling away now also the few left over safe guards like a simple but needed ‘block’ feature is in danger because overlord Elon doesn’t thinks ‘it makes sense’ 
Again, he couldn’t be more wrong
Even with moderation on a social platform features like blocks and mutes need to remain in place for multiple reasons
Elon, you don’t make sense
@stux@mstdn.socialTechnically #Apple does not allow social media (user generated content) apps without blocking function
If Elon continues this way soon it will belong in the bottom part described and not allowed at all, hopefully..
@stux this also seems to be a similar guide line on Google Play Store.
@stux unfortunately I don’t think this applies to this recent weirdness.
It doesn’t say users have to be able to block or filter; just that the service has to.
@stux I read it the same way initially, but I think this refers to the ability for the app operators to block people, not the users. Essentially, Apple mandates that Elon and his merry indentured servants be able to block users. The option for users to block other users doesn't appear to be required.
I don't think this would be a problem.
It doesn't say that the ability to block users has to be available for the end users.
I'm old enough to remember when the app store didn't allow apps with only one character in the name… until Twitter was rebranded as X.
Also, they can rename mute → block and everything would probably be ok.
@stux If I'm reading this right, this says "Social networking services must include: A method for filtering objectionable material from being posted on the app ... the ability to block abusive users from the service".
Even if individual users cannot block people, Twitter as a social networking service still has the ability to filter objectionable material and block abusive users through reporting, site-wide bans, muting, "freedom of speech not reach", etc. It'll probably stand
@stux Google's policies are apparently a little more clear cut. But if muting remains it may slide if challenged
@MoBlack@mastodon.online @stux@mstdn.social I'm afraid I agree.
