Elon Musk.

musk intent on getting rid of the 'block' function on X, a function used by many to prevent stalkers and abusers from seeing their posts or contacting them. This mainly affects women but not exclusively.

After musk made it clear he was planning to do away with the feature, Blue Sky placed an announcement on their X account that read:

“At Bluesky, we take online safety seriously,” it wrote. “If you want to block someone, you can! It’s your experience to customize.”

over 100,000 people exited X and joined Blue Sky... unfortunately, that mass exodus and joining caused Blue Sky issues with coping and it was knocked offline for a while.

Personally, I hope more people leave the site since musk doesn't deserve to earn a cent off them. He doesn't understand the point of a block button and sees doing away with it altogether in the future. He would, right?

“One of the biggest functions of blocking is giving women the ability to stop weird men from constantly making them uncomfortable and scared,” one user wrote. “So of course Elon had to change that.”

update to above:

Right after the changes were announced, BlueSky, a competing platform founded by former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, proclaimed that it had received more than 100,000 new users. Barely twelve hours later, that tally climbed to half a million, the company said Thursday — and it's not showing signs of slowing down.

But the single most impactful incident was probably Musk's dispute with Brazil's top court, which led to Twitter being banned in the country after the billionaire magnate refused to comply with a judge's orders to remove accounts accused of spreading misinformation.

Musk blinked first and eventually complied to get the ban lifted. But the damage was done: Bluesky gained over three million new users within days of the ban, the overwhelming majority of whom were Brazilian.

Such is Musk's proclivity for shooting himself — and his businesses — in the foot, while handing his competitors an advantage.

Blue Sky has a term for these times: an EME or Elon Musk Event

Go and have another look at the soft landing achieved by the returning Spacex rocket. Then try and convince yourself that Musk is an idiot. The OP suggested that he was pretty horrible and an asshole, but this achievement was colossal, and I thought Americans would not be so small minded as to downplay the achievement. Yes it is a team effort but there is no doubt that Musk was the driving force and intellect behind that team. Credit where it is due - as well as debit.

When we were sending astronauts to the moon on the Apollo missions, what we saw with the SpaceX catch wasn't even imaginable.

Now we can catch a giant booster rocket in mid air while it hovers in front of the gantry, land other boosters on a post-it note sized floating platform out on the ocean, and are talking about sending people to Mars.

Our knowledge and computers have come a long way.
