Sounds entirely reasonable. You post something in public it is public. Blocking direct interaction is fine, but any expectation that other party cannot see your stuff is just insane. Only absolutely clueless or stupid should have believed that.

If you don't want someone to point out your stupid takes don't make them in public.



Why does it have to be "expectation that other party cannot see your stuff"?

Why not just "expectation that it's less convenient for other party to see your stuff"?

Are you just being ironic for the feels?

It's usually the other way around for me. I'd rather not have every post about some game I like devolve into a culture war.

Then you should probably stop using X altogether.


Oh don't worry, I never commented on the platform. But when it's still the most popular place for indie devs to talk about their stuff I'm still reluctantly forced to at browse around.

I find that Twitter users somehow misunderstand this. Especially small ones that only interact with themselves, posting misinformation. See a lot of the Palestine Twitter. Then a bigger account comes and comments/corrects or spreads their OWN PUBLIC POST. Then it's an "attack". Its baffling.
