There's not a single person on this planet that I would trust to decide for me what commentary should be allowed on their statements. Not one. Show me it all, and I'll decide who sucks

They still know each other and have their kids together. I assume it's for the sake of their relationship that she's opting not to see what he's posting. Even back in the day when they were together it was obviously a source of some strife.

I haven't been blocked by anybody that I know of. I do block people who post partisan political comments and/or porn on my feed. I've got 7th grade and 4th grade Texas history students reading it. Fortunately both Twitter and Facebook seemed to have gotten a much better handle on it in the last few months. It was driving me crazy on Facebook. Even with every filter I could think of they'd find their ways around it. I've never had much of an issue on Instagram at all. Not sure why.

As for Elon removing the ability to block people, I will wait and see what kind of impact it has on my Twitter feed before deciding whether to stay or go. On the one hand, I've got 126 thousand followers on Twitter and I don't want to leave the platform unless I'm forced to. On the other hand, it feels more and more like it's descending into something chaotic that I want no part of.

I have interacted with you several times on X, and I really enjoy the content you put out. Hopefully the mute feature will be all you need if they take away the block feature.
