bblfish on Nostr: The worst part of blocking on #Twitter was that people would have a conversation with ...
The worst part of blocking on #Twitter was that people would have a conversation with you in a thread and then when they did not like what was said would block you, removing all the context of the conversation, and also of all previous conversations.
So it was clear that blocking should never have applied to existing Tweets.
Furthermore deleting should not have been allowed on Tweets a short time after they were posted or certainly commented on. Once you have engaged in a conversation your posts are no longer yours to remove.
#Nostr gets that right. The longer you wait to delete the less likely it will work.
#𝕏 is clearly a big improvement since Elon took over: longer tweets, markup, identity verification, financial support, all have improved the platform a lot.
The main problem remains the one that bothered me since the beginning was that it is centralised.
