Aaaand I'm suspended from Twitter 🫡
Micah Lee on Twitter

“Twitter just banned Mastodon's official Twitter account @joinmastodon with 174,000 followers, probably because it tweeted a link to @ElonJet's Mastodon account. Twitter is now censoring posting the link, but the user is @[email protected]

Twitter
@micahflee I just reposted it. Guess I’ll be banned soon.
@micahflee of course I followed the post with a dare to Elon: “I assume the ban hammer is incoming as I have exercised my free speech in a way that daddy Elon does not approve of. See you all on Mastodon.”
@micahflee it was worth it. Let Twitter devolve into 8chan

@benmorris @micahflee

I propose the #BirdsitePurge tag for this ongoing purge.

Each purgee will be entitled to use his/her private #ElonJet to fly to a #Mastodon or other #Fediverse instance before the jet gets recycled into 10000 bicycles. No birdsite baggage may be taken on the trip* - these are one-way private jets.

*Baggage exported before the purge should be safe. Do it now before you're purged...

@micahflee I was suspended for calling the thin skinned billionaire Apartheid Elmo.
@micahflee I saw that tweet and said to myself, “glad I found him on Mastodon already”
@micahflee Uh-oh. I put a like in that tweet. Hmmm.
@micahflee anybody aware of how many (like myself) have had their twitter account locked...not suspended but unable to post/like etc? wondering how many small accounts have been locked down this way in order to affect discourse
@micahflee elon is a little piss baby.

“Did you know you can have your account suspended just for saying "@[email protected]"? Now that's what I call comedy!”

@micahflee logged into bird site for the first time in weeks just to post your tweet
@micahflee Streisand effect, in effect!
@micahflee Thank you for your service.
@micahflee Truth Social sent out a literal push notification about it when it joined there today.
@micahflee ... achievement unlocked, i guess?
@micahflee aaaaand that’s a follow
@micahflee Did they at least tell you what rule you violated?
@micahflee The speed of that makes me think it's automated, potentially accidental?
@micahflee Do you know why? Tweet a link to a jet tracker?
@micahflee a badge of honour at this stage of the devolution. Well done!
@micahflee so much for free speech. I love how the Reich wingers get to call is queers pedos and groomers, but when we do the same thing to them it's boom suspension.

@micahflee
Sounds like you're in good company, journalists are being purged left and right.

Welcome to the sunny side of the street.

@micahflee Welcome to the club of several other journalists

“@drewharwell The Intercept journalist @micahflee has been suspended. He had been writing critically about Elon Musk.”

@micahflee Did you blaspheme our Lord and Savior Elonald Trusk?
@micahflee Soon it'll just be Elon and Baked Alaska, talking about videogame weapons and the unfairness of it all.
@micahflee any idea why?

@DeanBaker13 @micahflee

He's the Big Man, Head Honcho, Big Cheese, Main Man, Lord of the Manor

@micahflee
So was I today. Someone posted a picture of Guilfoyle in a weird Christmas dress and asked what the theme was and I commented "nut cracker hoe" and that got me banned....
When I was actually referring to the gardening implement 🤣....

@micahflee Oh the irony. He's for the Texas "free speech" law, which makes it illegal for him to ban you and anyone else.

@micahflee Gotta love that FREE SPEECH amiright?

@micahflee
Twitter is quickly becoming the Russia of the internet.

But I think it's going bankrupt, and Elon is just in it for the giggles now - while his investors lose billions.

@micahflee I hope you have a recent archive of your Twitter data.
@micahflee Are you celebrating like opening an expensive bottle of wine or what?
@micahflee So many awesome people who have written critically about Musk getting suspended, ugh, sorry
@micahflee Are you serious? Why!? I'll post about it on mine and get the word out. 😠
@micahflee If I wasn't already following you here I would follow you again.
@micahflee has musk never heard of the Streisand effect lol
@micahflee Good to have you here. What got you suspended or did he just boot you off?
@micahflee is someone keeping a full list?

@tchambers @micahflee

Not certain, but I am following the #JournalismPurge hashtag. I think @VPS_Reports started it. Don't take that as a fact but pretty sure.

@micahflee and you just gained a follower here instead 
@micahflee I’m sorry.. but also congratulations?
