X is changing the way blocking works. On Thursday, the company's Engineering account explained the changes as follows: "If a user who has blocked you replies to one of your posts, you will now be able to see their reply. This change enables you to identify and report any potential bad content that you previously could not view, safeguarding both your account and the overall integrity of our platform."

@ecksmc: "If a user who has blocked you replies to one of your posts..."
How are they seeing your posts if they've blocked you?
That's my question.
If they block YOU they can still see your account but you cannot see them.You haven't blocked them
Blocking on twitter has always been one way not two way like here
@ecksmc if a user blocked you, they should be seeing your posts to reply to...should they?
@ecksmc X gets wackier by the day 😆
@ecksmc Here's a way to effectively block everyone on Xitter.
@ecksmc
"...the overall integrity of our platform" is the funniest part of this statement. 🙄
PSA
Blocking on twitter has always been one way not two way like here
If they block YOU they can still see your account but you cannot see them. You haven't blocked them.
Seems like a whole lot of people, on X, don’t understand what they just read about blocking. And are in shock to discover that blocking is only one way not two
