Steve HermanJust woke up and checked my #Twitter account as I usually do. Then remembered I was “permanently suspended” last night. It’s like having a phantom limb. https://www.voanews.com/a/voa-journalist-among-media-suspended-on-twitter/6878934.html
Erik Jonker@w7voa terrible, glad you are here on Mastodon but i can imagine the feeling...
gui_trader@w7voa I think you will get plenty of new mastodon users as a result.
softicecreamlesley@w7voa @gui_trader I just followed him simply for this reason. LOL.
Dr. Brandy Schillace
Judith Schenck@w7voa When I saw you’d been suspended from Twitter, I immediately followed you here.
NoOne@w7voa Already following you here.
Indian NAFO-Twitter refugee@w7voa uninstall the bird app. I did.
J Emory Parker 🏳️🌈@w7voa took me about a week and a half to replace that muscle memory with this app
Ted Han ★ 韓聖安@w7voa Sounds like Elon is arbitrarily moving the ban length, and you might have access to it again in the next few days or a week?
🇺🇦🌻@rogue_corq🌻🇺🇦@softicecreamlesley @w7voa I mean… >100k followers is not a thing to be abandoned lightly.
AnthonyUplandpoetWatkins@w7voa
ha, in a week or two, you will forget there ever was a twitter:)

IronyisDead@w7voa I just saw that. I can't believe it. I've followed you for a long time and you've always been extremely fair and evenhanded. America is once again grappling with a flailing narcissist trying to force his world view on everybody else
Sobral@w7voa , journalism really needs decentralization.
Michael@w7voa
Just human habituation; the brain is easy enough to retrain when it comes to such things.

JustRob@w7voa time to get mastadon links on your website.
A report about fascism on twitter has a link.... To twitter.... :D
DidiQ@w7voa The permanent ban might end soon 😂
whonose123@w7voa hopefully soon you will find all the info you want on Mastodon:)
gadlaw@w7voa Well it got me to finally plunge through the obtuse sign up process here and notice that I’ve found all the smart people.
Baron Vonskinnback@w7voa mine was suspended this morning, looks like free speech isn't so free over at twitter, they don't want free speech, they want their own speech to be utterly unchallenged, twitter is dead...
Saint Eddie@w7voa know the feeling
Jane Shull@w7voa You’ll get over it. I have, especially since my read-only status there doesn’t even work reliably and all my follows have been wiped out to zero.
Robin Finehout@w7voa takes a couple of days to get out of the habit. #twittermigration
Bernd Porr@w7voa Looks like that simply tweeting about the ElonJet account was enough to be banned from twitter. That Birdsite boss is quite thin skinned. What next: reporting he had a burned toast for breakfast causes instant zap?
The Lone Apple 🍎@w7voa The madness of King Elon is that he wants to be the last one left to speak. He's utterly obsessed with tweeting his mind-burps and bought to place as his own broadcasting network of sorts. He must admire North Korea.
Steven Hilton@w7voa Here's a mastodon notification. 😁 I've been here a few weeks and there is a surprising lack of assholes. Enjoy!
Oldmeanroy@w7voa I implore you to remain #TwitterFree and remain active here on Mastodon.
Without the folks Elon now says "may or may not be notable" he and Twitter are irrelevant.
He needs to be forced to absorb that!

@w7voa Seems Elon is a bit of a cancel-culture snowflake...
Stan Fletcher@w7voa You’re in a better place. And if you don’t like the instance where you “reside” you can move to one of your choosing at any time.
Daniel Reich 🇺🇦@w7voa Good thing Musk likes "free speech." 🙄 Following you here now!
Scott, present & accounted for@w7voa New beginnings!
NebbyBeulah@w7voa I like Mastodon better, don’t you?
Jeff@w7voa musk craves attention ignore him
J L Gatewood (StarrWulfe)That limb has atrophied in the last year or so naturally due to my #snsdiet but seeing what happened on #bloodythursday to my brothers-in-arms.
👎🏾
Galactic Menace@w7voa @SuneAuken don’t worry it’s gets better with time, I’ve swapped apps on my phone and now toot! is replacing tweeter app 😉
Radio & Nukes@w7voa did you get flagged as a bot like everyone else or was it something else?
fuel@w7voa while leaving twitter for good would reduce your reach in the short term, more people posting up permanently on alternative sites such as Mastodon sooner means less reliance on remaining in a certain megalomaniac's good graces, less enablement of his personal manifesto, and the establishment of a more honest, robust community quicker.
P.S. if you know any sports journalists, please encourage them to sign up. It's the only thing I miss about the bird site.
Andrea Holsomback@w7voa So glad you are here!
WarrenCrat 🗽🏳️🌈⚛️🌵@w7voa I keep forgetting I have basically zero followers here so can only be reply guy for now. 😂
Angie@w7voa after a few days, you'll be checking here first. 😀
Sera@w7voa I’m hoping the journalists don’t abandon us here when Elon reinstated their accounts at his whim.
OtownKim@w7voa Let Musketeer drive Twitmo to the ground. He is gross. I hope he goes bankrupt
Adrian@w7voa same I was permanently suspended for no reason last night too!
@w7voa F Twitter,we will learn to navigate Mastodon,Twitter is gone.
Colby Olson@w7voa Youre permanently suspended?!
GESampson@w7voa just as well. Better to jump ship before it sinks further.
zemsgram@w7voa isn’t “permanent suspension” an oxymoron?
MessagingMatters@w7voa Toxic Bird Guy really is acting like a dictwitter
sirgetagrip@w7voa
I didn't follow you on twitter, but your banning from there is the reason I am following you know.

Steven Stanford@w7voa Welcome to the Fediverse!
CatharinaB@w7voa sorry you miss it, but you’ll hopefully get used to being here, instead, bit by bit? #freepress
