Everyone says muted accounts can "interact" with ones tweets but no one can inform me in what way.
How can muted accounts make so that you see what their doing?
By encouraging fellow trolls/assholes to quote, reply and retweet your tweets so you're forced to see them. Also, someone that is muted can still personally reply, quote and retweet your tweets as well; you just won't see it, not unless they find a way around it (as I already described how). Toxic assholes always find away around mute features because it's garbage and isn't useful at all.
If you still can't figure out why removing the block feature will be devastating for a significant portion of Twitters user-base, than you're either acting in bad faith, obtuse, or one of the very toxic assholes that will be thrilled to see blocking removed.
Edit: Oh and one final thing; Lemmy has a block feature. Anymore ridiculous responses from you will result in just that. I can't take anything you say on this topic seriously anymore.
