Elon Musk buys Twitter

Yeah suppose but they don't show up in your timeline.

Also reports says he could be bringing in proper verification like betting online firms do. That will get rid of all the bots and people who only make an account to abuse people..

So then accounts drop by, what, 92%?

You block some one nothing to stop them making a new account or searching your Twitter name to do the same..

Grim for victims of stalking, abuse, rape etc that can no longer be on the platform if fearful.

Awful idea.

I like a good moan but the way people who use Twitter want it run their way is laughable ;)

He’s one of a fair number of people on here that opine for simpler times when everything was in black and white.

Twitter is merely a cesspit to them as they are unable to use it properly and so take it in turns to tell everyone to delete it.

I don’t think many take them that seriously.

I don't think Musk takes the hand-wringing whingers seriously, no worries though they will all eventually disappear to threads where they will be appreciated ;O
