@art

Supposedly because they linked to @[email protected] but that seems like a convenient lie.

Show threadJuanitaIguana1Dec 16, 2022
@art I guess Elon is tired of the competition. He must have been afraid Mastodon was taking Twitter customers.
Show threadguitardisDec 16, 2022
@JuanitaIguana1 @art cute that he thinks that'll stop people from finding it. I guess he'll be banning the others soon.
And people will still find out, and still leave, because he can't force them to stay and soak in the toxicity.

@guitardis I fully expect him to ban Tribel and Occupy Democrats next, and then Post.

You said “rule”.
Did you mean “pretext”? 😉

@YetAnotherGeekGuy @art @Mastodon hey man, I was just being genuine. This dumpster fire is raging hard enough, I don't need to pour any more gas on it.

Also, apparently it was because they tweeted about the @[email protected] suspension. Tracks, considering all the other related suspensions.

Looks like tweeting a link to #ElonJet on #Mastodon was one of the last things @Mastodon did on #Twitter before it got its account suspended.

Elon Musk not only left the conversation abruptly under intense questioning—but the entire Twitter Spaces event strangely “cut out” afterwards.
