But you had to mute the owner and sole decision maker of the platform to get that result.

How long will he allow the peasants to mute or block him?

You literally can't block people anymore on X https://www.cnet.com/tech/blocking-on-xtwitter-doesnt-work-a...

From the article you posted, blocking still stops people from communicating with you.

The only difference with how it is now is they can still view your posts. I don't have a dog in this fight (don't have Twitter) but this seems like a good feature.

On reddit I've been blocked and then called a Nazi/reprehensible person/nonhuman scum. When blocked, you can't see what people say about you. I would like to report the comments for harassment, but I can't.

Blocking should stop someone from being able to communicate with you - but it shouldn't be a shield against reporting harassment.

The same. I follow tech accounts and some parody accounts and haven’t never seen racism&co.

But x’s algorithm is a self-evolving b*tch so my recent feed can change anytime…

It doesn't. Elon will happily spam your notifications with his own racist tweets directly, even if you don't follow him.

Back when I still had an account, after never seeing his content in the previous ~15 years I had been using Twitter, he was suddenly all over my feed. I had to mute him, and then, when that didn't work, block him, within months of his takeover.
