I'd argue the opposite, if you don’t mind.

The worst part of #blocking on #Twitter was that people would have a conversation with you in a thread and then when they did not like what was said would block you, removing all the context of the conversation, and also of all previous conversations.
That was a tactic loved by #trolls.

So it was clear that blocking should never have applied to existing Tweets.

Furthermore deleting should not have been allowed on Tweets a short time after they were posted or certainly commented on. Once you have engaged in a conversation your posts are no longer yours to remove. This problem was known to people from the earliest social network, the Well, which was destroyed by deleing of posts.

#Nostr gets that right. The longer you wait to delete the less likely it will work.

I am sorry to say, but #𝕏 is clearly a big improvement since Elon took over: longer tweets, markup, identity verification, financial support, all have improved the platform a lot.

The main problem remains the one that bothered me since the beginning was that it is centralised. #nostr is going the right direction.
