That sucks. I was in the middle of trying to block as many advertisers as possible on the app to see what kind of weird shit starts popping up. I'd honestly bet that's the reason why they're removing it (though they could just stop you from blocking them on ads instead). Otherwise, doesn't really matter to me because I don't actually tweet anything, and I don't use the shitty general feed anyway. Either way, the site is definitely on a much quicker downward spiral than expected.

Blocking in the GameFAQs sense. It notifies them, keeps you and the blocked person from seeing each other.
Muting would be this site's equivalent of ignoring.

It's a little different because if you come across a tweet from someone who blocked you, it tells you that there is a tweet from someone who blocked you.

Yeah, people are still using Twitter because it's really the only viable choice right now. If almost everyone mass moved to another easily accessible site with the same kind (or better) discovery algorithms, this wouldn't be an issue.

I do think Twitter is slowly dying though with all the advertisers leaving.

I rarely blocked people on twitter until Elon bought it and I saw a lot more literal nazi shit on it than I usually see

I got a Bluesky account a couple days ago and although I think it's solid, it's still missing a lot. I have to load it through a different site just to see my damn likes.
