    Genuine question, I don’t really use Twitter at all outside of reading threads someone posts through xcancel occasionally:

    Does this actually change anything? You could just log into a burner account or use xcancel to see these posts already right? Without a whitelist function (which actually would be good for people who need more privacy) this information was already available to anyone who wanted it anyways right?

    Just to be clear, fuck Elon Musk both for making social media more pleasant for Nazis and for every other dumb thing he’s done but this particular change doesn’t feel like it accomplishes anything?

    Is it just the fact that it makes it easier and therefore signals solidarity with stalkers?
