It’s pretty painful, but I have to admit: I’m a lot more productive today at work

In retrospect, I should probably just learn to read.

But we were talking about Twitter specifically, not any sort of self-hosted platform or personal site.

I don’t disagree with you, I’m just confused when the discussion moved from Twitter to an anecdote about one’s IMAP email client

You know, maybe I didn’t understand the full meaning of your comment - I assumed you were referring to not having the ability to block a user as a “return to how social was meant to be on the internet”

That doesn’t make sense. Social media rules aren’t written in stone.

All forms of communication/media/technology evolve over time. Going backwards is regressive.

Don’t get me wrong, it took a long time but ultimately got there.

The CEO not constantly acting like an entitled shitbag also helped.

I know that twitter pulled a lot of the same bullshit but I have to give them and their developers credit: they created a great app that ensured people could move away from their preferred 3rd party app pretty easily.
