With the Twitter/X announcement of retiring 'block'

https://twitter.com/lindayaX/status/1692705481653973132

what noun/verb/term will the company use to designate the evolution of the feature?

Will it remain as "block" ?

Will 'block' be rolled into the term 'mute' with varying levels of 'mute' ?

Will they introduce a new term to replace 'block's current features? (quiet, deafen, deboost, sap, drain, curse, banish, badger, parrot, mime, rock, brick, de-aggro, etc..)

If they decide to use a combination of terms, I will accept both. ex: If we will 'drain mute' people, then i will both accept 'drain' and 'mute'


Similar to how X renamed 'Tweet' to 'Post', the resolution should be fairly clear. The UI should have the new term built in.
Currently we have 'block' as the button on '...' on a tweet.

Basically, what word will replace 'Block' Here? Will it be a new word, or will it just become part of 'Mute' Above? (Vote Mute) If you think its going to combine.
