If you’re wondering about Mastodon’s impact, Twitter is now automatically marking links to mastodon as “sensitive” (aka dangerous) and forcing users who get them to “appeal” the claim. In case Elon didn’t seem desperate enough for you already…
@joshuatopolsky It’s not just links to Mastodon. It happened to me just using the word mastodon in another context. My link was actually to a story about mastodon DNA being sequenced at the MIT Technology Review

@TimH @joshuatopolsky Hmm my tweets got not flagged (yet). Tried
- link to my instance
- link to mastodon.social
- link to mastodon.social with mastodon in the tweet

Let's see when their cron job is running again...

@stefan @joshuatopolsky My tweet didn’t have a link to Mastodon at all. It just said the word mastodon and had a link to a page that didn’t even have mastodon in the url.

@TimH Hm I can see no flag in your post. Maybe it's also viewers country related..
@stefan That was days ago. The “appeal” was approved
