    Following a profile logged-out is impossible now

    What do you mean? I can just open an Incognito tab and go to x.com/<username> and see all posts (without replies, though).

    because they don’t run alts

    I think you underestimate the dedication of some of those trolls. Also, most apps allow to easily switch between profiles with like 2 taps.

      @mbirth@lemmy.ml “Some of them”, sure.

      Which is not 90% of them. It’s the exceptions.

      If a block-button stopping read-ability works in 80% of the cases, it’s better than one that works in zero percent of the cases.

      Look at twitter.com/@elonmusk in a private tab.

      Most of the posts you see are from 2022!?

      The block button on Twitter has gone from 80% effective to 0% effective.

      Well done Musk. Well done.
