The only way to protect yourself from trolls and stalkers on X - Hypertext
htxt.co.za
X users will need to make their account private if they want to remain safe from trolls and stalkers.
  • X is telling users that blocking will soon be useless and trolls and stalkers will soon be able to see their posts again.
  • Instead of blocking, X advises that users take their account private, the antithesis to what X and its progenitor Twitter was about.
  • This removal of blocking may violate Apple and Google’s policies regarding platforms that host user generated content.

      Right, but you’re smart enough to know it’s the right thing to do. Many aren’t , sadly.

        Every time someone makes a blanket demand like ‘everyone just get off Twitter,’ and I ask why I should, the answer is more or less: ‘I don’t like Elon, so I don’t want anyone using his platform.’

        I’ve yet to figure out why I should care how somebody else feels about what I do online. I don’t like TikTok either yet I don’t go around telling people to get off the platform.
