How it started, how it's going, etc. etc.
I didn't follow and wasn't even interested in following @elonjet on the other site, but now that it's been banned over there, I feel compelled to follow it over here.
@elonjet Heh. And as someone point out, while the ElonJet at Twitter was banned, the BezosJets account (run by the same guy) was allowed to remain. It's almost as if Elon's content moderation is perhaps less than principled.
@mmasnick I, for one, am shocked!
@mmasnick @elonjet where’s Matt Taibbi and Bari Weiss when you need them? We need the Slack messages and emails surrounding this suspension. #ReleaseTheElonJetFiles

@emc @mmasnick @elonjet

Something something I thought the owner of the account had posted a slack screenshot showing the demand.

@emc
But let's face it... do you ever, EVER, need Tabbi or Weiss? I mean, for realz?

@mmasnick @elonjet

@mmasnick @elonjet Casablanca shocked .gif
@mmasnick @elonjet the Celeb Jets Twitter page, also run by the same guy and does the same thing, is also still live.

@mmasnick @elonjet

Mr. Roth left Twitter due to the same 'rule by dictat' type decisions.....

WOT did everyone think though when a publicly listed company goes to being a private company though but with the same publicly traded compliance issues, which content moderating was a huge part (~1k ppl for that) of, running a #ToxicSocialMediaOnePointOh type company with the #AlgorithmTimeline driving the views?

Gotta say the short term ego stroking plays being run vs. the Advertising Customers which make up 90% of the income at Twitter seems like this is just a plan to kill Twitters revenue .... By design! ☠️💀⚰️🐦☠️💀🤔

@mmasnick @elonjet
It’s all about the narcissism.
@mmasnick @elonjet Hey now that's not fair! He didn't only take action on @elonjet! Another one was suspended too! https://twitter.com/SpaceXJet ... wait a sec ...

@mmasnick @elonjet Unprincipled, you don’t say?
@mmasnick @elonjet the SpaceXJet bot was also banned and now so is Jack's personal account.

@mmasnick @elonjet I think that one is banned now, too.

/cc @dangoodin

@mmasnick @elonjet His personal account and all the other jet accounts have all been suspended now. https://twitter.com/rmac18/status/1603110297664749569?s=46&t=7-HYvFqpDXFxaC-XSwwSDQ

@mmasnick @elonjet looks like they banned that one now too. making it up as they go!

@mmasnick @elonjet business model idea: a fee to cancel any other users account.

Monetize the shit storm.

@mmasnick @elonjet
looks like they've all gotten permanently suspended now. For being "spam" ...
@mmasnick @elonjet In a move to demonstrate agreement with only the thought currently on his mind, Elmo has apparently blocked BezosJets now as well.
@mmasnick @elonjet poof 💨 it’s gone too
@mmasnick @elonjet
In Musk’s mind Bezos isn’t as rich, so not worthy of concern.
@mmasnick Well, blessings on Jack for posting both! This kind f information is so crucial to crafting solutions for dealing with excessive emissions caused by billionaire's toys.
@mmasnick @elonjet I think we’re all transitioning in to accepting that the thing we used that felt public is now something a person owns

@mmasnick @elonjet

FYI: This may have been true earlier, but it’s not true now.

@mmasnick
Just an fyi. The user that musk banned is here on Mastodon. @elonjet
@AbbyFla @elonjet Yes? That's why I linked to that account in this thread?
@mmasnick @elonjet Elon is a punk and a rapist

@mmasnick

Duh! Proves I didn’t read everything, my bad!

@mmasnick @elonjet I knew enough about Musk to leave on Elon Day One, but I honestly didn’t know he was this crazy.
@mmasnick @elonjet if you dig deep enough, all content moderation ends up being either unprincipled or untethered from common sense.
@mmasnick @elonjet There should be a name for that effect, Mike.

@mmasnick @elonjet Same here, wasn't interested before but followed here immediately.

That forbidden fruit tastes so sweet.

@mmasnick
same - just followed for that very reason 🤷🏼‍♂️
@elonjet
@mmasnick Elon started buying Twitter shares the morning after he offered the owner of @elonjet $5,000 to take it down. It’s arguably what started his misadventure.
@mmasnick @elonjet
Didn't know it was here; thanks for the pointer-- followed.
@mmasnick @elonjet Their follower count suggests you are not alone in this. When I followed this morning, I swear they were at a few hundred.
@mmasnick @elonjet I never gave a flip where melon husk was going, I just followed to support the dev. So thanks for letting us know he’s here now, too!
@mmasnick @elonjet it’s important to know where he’s going so we’re prepared to boo him in the wild
@mmasnick @elonjet Also followed...didn't care before but I hope all these follows here sticks in the Elongated Muskrat's craw.
@mmasnick @elonjet The trips to Miami are interesting.
@mmasnick @elonjet same, I only care that he cares, so I guess I’ll start following it now too lol.
@mmasnick @elonjet Same. Wasn't following until news it was shadow-banned. Then it escalated, per Streisand Effect.
@mmasnick @elonjet I did too, as an act of solidarity.
@mmasnick @elonjet I was following the account on Twitter to spite Elon, but I wasn't paying attention to the data. I looked today, here on Mastodon, and found that the god emperor of Twitter was in Los Angeles yesterday. Interesting.
