      I can’t imagine that still won’t violate both store policies.

        The policies aren’t well-defined. You can still block DMs I think. You could argue that counts.

      I’m kinda surprised this wasn’t the original announcement. I figured it would just move to a paid feature. Maybe the initial tweet (or whatever the fuck we call an X) was just to get attention.

        Pretty sure he did it just to get attention and then dial back cause he “heard the people”
