Taylor LorenzMusk has begun banning journalists who have criticized him from Twitter including WaPo’s Drew Harwell, NYT’s Ryan Mac, and CNN’s Donie O’Sullivan. My whole timeline is glitched out and people continue to report my tweets so I’m worried I’ll be banned soon too! #twitter #musk #twittermigration #twitterexodus #tech #news #technews #technology #elon
Tim McNamara@taylorlorenz This is fine 🙄
Stefan@taylorlorenz sad but what a way to go!
Deana@taylorlorenz whoa! He banned Donie?
Stpaulhawk@deanamastodons @taylorlorenz banned like a dozen national journalists tonight.
PanamanianPapa@PanamanianPapa @stpaulhawk @deanamastodons @taylorlorenz they didn't doxx. Doxxing is sharing the personal information of an anonymous individual, its not doxxing to share the publicly available information of a public figure.
@Shaudius it is at Twitter. So yes it was doxxed
@PanamanianPapa it was not doxxing hence why it stayed up until musk took it down just now by changing the twitter policy. Twitter doesn't decide what words mean tho.
@Shaudius @PanamanianPapa @stpaulhawk @deanamastodons @taylorlorenz they doxxed the location of his family, including his child.
@nuzzy @PanamanianPapa @stpaulhawk @deanamastodons @taylorlorenz no they didn't, take your lies back to twitter.

Don't worry. Donie is already on mastodon.ie - username is his name (first+last), so it's a little spelling test for folks.

Bathsheba Blue@deanamastodons @taylorlorenz
He sure did. Aaron Ruper too.
But donie is here ! @donie @donieosullivan
LeaBug@deanamastodons @taylorlorenz he's already on Mastodon.
b33rbashjawnson@taylorlorenz but but but i thought Elon supported free speech /s #JournalismPurge
Boud@b33rbashjawnson @taylorlorenz
Tagging this:
People who still have birdsite accounts and are ready to be suspended might want to try a birdsite-toot with both #ElonJet (or @elonjet ) and #BirdsitePurge (after first backing up/exporting their content!).
Banning mainstream journalists sounds like begging for the #StreisandEffect .

Vadivan@deltatux @taylorlorenz For now, at least.
Jeroen Baert@taylorlorenz anyone know where I can find Matt Binder?

Tod Maffin 🇨🇦@taylorlorenz At this point, I’d wear it like the Badge of Honour it is. Only the best reporters are getting the ban hammer. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you 🙂
AKATSUKI CYBER TEAM@taylorlorenz Yeah he's on high mode rn after banning ElonJet. He thinks he can get away with it.
Hopefully advertising purges continue and Elon sells Twitter.
@91toph @taylorlorenz i totally expect Twitter to have trouble making payroll sometime in the next few months.
If that happens, it’s over.
@ScottMonaghan @taylorlorenz they're already refusing to pay rent for the SF office. Musk is now trying to move Twitter to Austin which will not go well with their worldwide operations.
DarryB@ScottMonaghan @91toph @taylorlorenz They're already having problems from what I've heard. Quite a few still waiting for severance payouts, and some people didn't get paid it on time last month.
Those severance payouts are never going to come. Elon wants to fight those in court.
@91toph he's more likely to bankrupt it than sell it. If the reports that he stopped paying vendors is right. It's already heading that way. But you're right, why anyone would advertise on Twitter right now is beyond me.
@91toph @taylorlorenz he can get away with it
Gregg@taylorlorenz Seems about time news orgs start taking other places like the fediverse seriously.
François Caron 🇨🇦@DevGen_ @taylorlorenz They might already be setting up their own servers to operate within their own subdomains. This just takes a bit of time to set up properly.
Nick@taylorlorenz Go on post.news, Taylor. It has a better future :)
Raider Dave@nickthestoic @taylorlorenz they have zero accessibility tools. disabled people have trouble interacting and they've said they don't care to improve them..

Moose@taylorlorenz it’s a complete sh*t show over there. I deleted my account a few days ago when he went all in on the conspiracy theories. It’s so sad to see this happening, all because a rich, insecure, man-child can’t control his emotions.
KarynDocGoing out by being banned by Fragile Elon might be the best way to leave that flaming mess.
Adam CrainTime to push back and strike. journalists need to Deactivate their Twitter accounts in solidarity.
-You can reactivate with-in 30 days.
Scott Gurvey@taylorlorenz Don't worry. We're following you here.
The Big Fox@taylorlorenz You know LOTT has specifically asked Musk to ban you.
Tyler Waldman@taylorlorenz I'd be surprised if that manbaby doesn't ban you and other reporters he doesn't see as being in his corner.
WndlB@taylorlorenz Search has been blue-checked too.
Médecine Libre Jérôme Pinguet@taylorlorenz You're safe here. 🤗 Ask your friends to join us!
Chris Ruigomez@taylorlorenz hopefully people will be able to share all the articles which will be written about this on #Twitter
@Lee_in_Iowa@taylorlorenz I just got kicked off and I didn’t even know I had jumped over there. I touched something here in Mastodon that was apparently a link to an Olberman tweet and kaboom! I’m suspended. Again.
AJ
Eric Schweitz@taylorlorenz You must've done something right. 😀
Joseph Galbo@taylorlorenz glad you're here!
Philip MartinTime to just jump ship, Taylor? Do you really need all the hassles of Elmo’s Fowl Place??
Rachel@taylorlorenz Oh thanks for saying you're glitched. I was worried when I checked and didn't see any of your content past Dec 3rd.
djohngo@taylorlorenz You should probably worry more if you don't get banned.
Scott Hansen@taylorlorenz To be honest, I thought you would have been one of the first, considering your work would be high on his radar, due to his chumminess with LTT.
Only a matter of time, I guess.
(Not saying that should happen, of course)

Mike 🇨🇦@taylorlorenz Great, it will make Mastodon better.
Jaynae Marie@taylorlorenz all I know is the Tesla board of directors and investors are going to like this.
