when you go to someone's profile, in addition to 'followers' and 'following', it should also publicly show who that person has muted and blocked.

this is FAR more revealing and will lead to interesting discovery of whom you might also like to follow; i.e. enemy of my enemy is my friend, etc.

this sounds like something the current staff of twitter would be into, 100%. please tell your boss this idea right away.

That's a good idea, but hopefully the last line is sarcastic. The "current staff of Twitter" is basically just a reduced version of the past staff of Twitter. Musk is gladly carrying on the work Vijaya started: he's shielding Iranian and Chinese govt officials from dissent, and likewise companies like Smirnoff and elected officials like DrPanMD. One of my accounts is suspended pending an appeal. What thoughtcrime did I commit? Trash talking a sports team like thousands of people do each day.
