pixelfedTwitter is now blocking links to pixelfed!
"First they ignore you,
then they laugh at you,
then they fight you,
then you win"
Sector9@pixelfed Best news ever. 🎉
Thanks for the free advertising elon!!
Now journalists will be writing about this.
The #Fediverse is getting so popular.

NeoAdmins need to upgrade their servers before that 🙄...
Mark@pixelfed These are the warnings I get if I try to add my PixelFed link to my bio or if I click on an existing tweet with a PixelFed link in it.
Lukas@pixelfed some suspect that "only" links with .social are blocked.
GoXonLine@pixelfed it happens to me, is blocking the domain. This also happens in Facebook. 😩
ilja 
BinaryWolf@pixelfed They also suspended official Mastodon account
🇪🇺 Paul Schoonhoven 🍋🍉@pixelfed congratulations... Getting blocked on the birdsite seems to be the new ✅
😉
😉
Scott Matter@pixelfed potentially harmful to twitter’s business model
lebout2canap ⏚@pixelfed Interestingly, by also censoring PixelFed, Elon Musk indicates that there is a whole ecosystem beyond Mastodon, and shines a light on the whole fediverse.
In #Flancia we'll meet@pixelfed same thing happened to https://moa.party ~ [[moa]] links earlier in the year.
@pixelfed yea, harmful to whom? that is the salient question.
Nicolas Pettiaux@pixelfed then you win

pieter13Hi! Adding a tinyurl works (for now). It does give the user a warning:

Wow I'm glad he's not in charge of a country.

Robert W. Gehl@pixelfed yep, and scholar.social is also harmful. I was blocked from posting a link to my profile.
Noah Mittman 
@pixelfed I wonder if it would still happen if the linked profile didn't include a Mastodon profile in its bio right there
stux⚡️@pixelfed Twitter is done I guess 
We don't need it anymore! 💪

demi7en 🎗🇪🇺@pixelfed Or,
First they came for XXXX, and I didn't care because I'm not XXXX.
Then they came for YYYY, and I didn't care because I'm not YYYY.
Then they came for WWWW, and I didn't care because I'm not WWWW.
Then they came for me, and it was really ackward to be the last to migrate to Mastodon...

Add a dot after the //
--> https://.pixelfed.social
It is still a valid url, but birdy won't catch it.... for now.

Jonathan@pixelfed Is there any info at all on why these blocks? Other than speculation.
Karl Heinz Häsliprinz@pixelfed I bet it's the .social that gets it.
Maybe just point some other URL at it lol.
point0@pixelfed elon is scared, censoring fediverse links haaah!
GreenskyVai@pixelfed
a serious foolishness this man can not block people from selecting another option, he is seeing at the fediverse as a serious treat, and I love it

Eduardo Lisboa 👨🏾💻@pixelfed I have a question: will it work If I post a URL shortener?

Had a really hard time verifying through gmail.
Not only prevented me from opening the link, but immediately sent to trash. And then, for the first-time ever, emptied my trash folder.

Steve "PodcastSteve" Lubetkin@pixelfed Sounds like he wants a walled garden where only trolls can play.

@pixelfed I don't even know what pixelfed is but susk banning links to it makes him look childish
Agora@pixelfed “potentially harmful”
cracklingsnow
PCEngine🕹🥷@pixelfed Didn’t know about you until Twitter started banning. I’m now informing friends and family how to jump from IG to Pixelfed!
Silvarro@pixelfed So now pixelfed is being cancelled? What did you do to piss off Musk?
andu@pixelfed Never heard of Twitter
David Sterry@pixelfed Confirmed. Doesn't seem to be every instance of fediversal applications probably just the major ones plus whatever's been reported.
It's not that hard to block servers in a space that is founded on openness and transparency.
ethanrhoward
daniel s.@pixelfed try with an account that doesn't have 'mastodon' in the open graph metadata as this guy's does and see if it still throws an error.

Unattributed 👤 ☑@pixelfed I was just wondering about this... My guess is #twitter used and Ali to the instances website to pull a list of everything in the #fediverse. Absolutely hilarious. Total censorship for no legitimate reason.
Big Poppa Ken@Litzseytech@pixelfed harmful to their product. It’s a private company all you can do is shrug and keep it moving.
Woefdram@pixelfed Twitter? We don't need no stinkin' Twitter!
Pelle S Christensen@pixelfed "twitter is under new management.
From now on we will apply a scorched internet policy and burn every bridge that we can.
We shall build a silo that is yuuuuge!
It will even make our Mars Rockets tiny in comparison.
It will have a great ekko for the boss to crack wise ass tweets .. .to noone but his dedicated fanboys".

Mostly Harmless (Cam Johnson)@pixelfed All this will do is let a lot of new people learn about pixelfed

Elon Musk gedraagt zich als iemand die de richtingaanwijzer nooit gebruikt omdat hij zelf al weet waar hij heen wil.

Daniil Baturin@pixelfed From their point of view, that link is not merely harmful now, it's an existential threat indeed.
Moth@pixelfed As others have pointed out, the link IS "potentially harmful" which is true. Potentially harmful to Twitter and very likely Musk and Tesla if he has to keep selling shares.

Lucas' World 🤠I don't think they are trying to do a conspiracy especificly against Pixelfed.social. It's just Twitter's filters doing some dumb stuff.
An account I manage was identified as a bot for error once and I couldn't tweet on that one for a time.
