When you block someone ’s accounting on X(Twitter ) , you also block them from send you DMs and frailty versa . However , X is now work on a new feature article where you’re able to block someone from DMs but their account wo n’t be blocked so you will still see updates from them . Useful if you are tired of people asking for gratuitous stuff in the decimetre or throw uncanny asking .
The feature was first unwrap by two Xaccount userswhopostedscreenshots of the same in action . Here is how they front :
Right now , blocking an account X will disallow them from commenting on your Post as well as sending you diabetes mellitus . Moving onward , these two will be dissociate so you’re able to block someone from charge you messages ask for free stuff but still let them see your posts .
Elon Musk has confirm this via a Wiley Post :
dm are being dissociate from public posting , so that if all you need to do is use this platform for message , but not post publically , you’re able to do sohttps://t.co/Z1hBwjcYJa
Musk pronounce it the other way though . You will be able to use X for messaging only but not posting if you want . However , in the screenshots , it can be see that they are halt someone from institutionalise DMs and not posting . So what ’s happening ?
We think once diabetes mellitus and Posts are decoupled , drug user can choose to close up someone from DMs or Posts independently . Works both ways . But we will have to waitress for the characteristic to roll out as it is still in development .
