Musk says he will ‘delete’ X’s block feature

In response to a post asking if ‘there is ever a reason to block vs. mute someone,’ Musk says that he will delete the block feature from the app, except for DMs.

Block is going to be deleted as a “feature”, except for DMs. It makes no sense.

Later, a community note is added to Musk’s post, saying that the block feature cannot be removed as it is a required feature for social media apps sold on Apple’s App Store and Google Play.

It makes no sense
