Many X users say blocking is a key feature on the platform.

"Pretty fun blocking people who complain that blocking is going away," Musk wrote. "How does the medicine taste?"expressed dismay at the coming end of the block feature when Musk announced it last week. Actor James Woods declared that he would likely be forced to leave the platform without the ability to block other users.
"If [Musk] removes the ability to block concerted harassment by trolls or organized political entities, how will 'X' be any different from Jack Dorsey’s horrid Twitter? Musk, whom I once championed, is only doing this to protect his advertisers anyway. Users of X are mere pawns to turn the site into an electronic shopping mall. The man I thought was a defender of free speech is just another greedy capitalist. Disappointing, but not surprising," Woods wrote.
The account "Tesla Owners Silicon Valley" posted Friday, "Is there ever a reason to block vs mute someone? Give your reasons."
