Elon Musk suggested users could mute accounts instead of blocking.Twitter's block feature lets users restrict interactions, while mute hides tweets without unfollowing.
Muted accounts don't get notified; it's a silent way to control content visibility.
Muted accounts remain unaware of being muted, whereas blocked accounts can know they've been blocked by visiting the blocker's profile.
The block feature is utilized to combat harassment, bullying, and stalking on Twitter.
