@Hey_Beth Mastodon as a real social medium doesn't manipulate & direct your behavior, interactions, visibility & freedom of expression (except in well-defined commonly accepted limits).

Corporate manipulative for-profit media like the birdsite & Jack's new BS do that. For them users are the vehicles, that will fill their personal bank accounts. Which distinguishes corporate media from social media.

@mastodonmigration Reminder: Shadowbans are not Eloon's invention. They were widely applied, when Jack Dorsey still owned the birdsite.
And AFAIK it's not confirmed, that Dorsey's new corporate medium will not apply the same manipulative practices, that he approved on twitter.

@dumbo Governments of the free world should be well aware, that Musk's $44 billion sandbox is not a constitutional monarchy, but an immature, histrionic & anti-democratic despot's arbitrarily ruled injustice realm.
Governments should follow the example of the free news organizations & no longer make themselves subjects of a spaced-out, attention-addicted infantile wannabe-potentate.
Leave twitter ASAP.

Twitter โ€œno longer existsโ€ as a company, merges into Muskโ€™s X Corp

Company name change may be Musk's next step to launch X, the "everything app."

Ars Technica

@Word_Whiz @mmasnick On point! Sites like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram are not social media but corporate restrooms, where people pay with their privacy & personal data for the opportunity to relieve themselves.

Happy to be on Mastodon, a real incorrupt social medium.

@w7voa Elon want to be the one & only king of his $44 billion litter box, implementing antisocial disorder as his countermodel to present society.
