Kriszta SatoriIt is not just #suspending #journalists and implementing a weird sort of 'mastodon mention' #ShadowBan, but more and more #Ukraine related posts are declared 'age restrcited adult content' on twitter...
Jonathan D. Abolins@fulelo So Musky #PonyStark is trying for an ersatz CW tagging ;-)
Adamas Nemesis@fulelo That's rather asinine. As if children and youth don't deserve to know what's happening in Ukraine.
Dr James J TeethElon Musk is starting to act like a Russian oligarch.
Graydon@fulelo People who own or run authoritarian petrostates put a lot of money into the pile to buy twitter. They expected non-monetary return, and they're getting it.
Mastodon is actual social media, it's not distributed mass media that lets any schmuck talk to the world. Shutting that down in a way that didn't give Uncle a chance to object was a priority.
AKA, It's All Conflicted Volume, and will be until the climate's stable.
David Fowler@fulelo just leave Twitter. Don’t go back. Elon is a foul right wing liar and Trump supporter. The enemy of my freedom and yours. Just delete.
Already i find Mastodon a terrific replacement.

NanaKim@fulelo That makes zero sense. But then nothing Elmo has done does.
BME_Atty@fulelo where Russia is involved (even tangentially) what we have learned is "follow the money."
Tim Burnham 🇺🇸🇺🇦@fulelo @emptywheel Mastodon urls are basically assassination coordinates 🤡
Saint Eddie@fulelo "birdsite" ha nice
RealStephanieVA@fulelo losing access to some of the Ukrainian journalists and citizens is one of the things I worry about most with leaving the bird site.
@StephanieVA completely agree
murph@fulelo Not surprising in the least. Waiting for the bird-thing to implode. I'm pretty sure it'll be a real mess.
Patricia Kayden@fulelo So Musk is pro-Putin and pro-war crimes and pro-Russian imperialism. Not shocking at all. That's how fascists roll.
Old Hippie Ⓥ@old_hippie indeed a shame. What a snapshot of our recent history being demolished
John Torres-O’Callaghan@fulelo I’m just afraid someone will report live on Russian atrocities in Ukraine. Then they’d have to be suspended for doxxing the poor Russian soldiers!
SunaeThomas@fulelo twitter has removed Ukraine from their list of Countries
@SunaeThomas yes, it was on air on #BBCWorldService
@fulelo smh 🤦🏻♀️
Keith 🇺🇸🇪🇺🇮🇪🇺🇦Musk has a trick up his sleeve: by declaring a personal security threat, he is able to block nearly all mastodon instances because each instance will mirror @[email protected] if a user on that instance follows the account.
Keith Kerr 🇺🇸🇪🇺🇮🇪🇺🇦 (@[email protected])
Musk's trick: Is it about safety, or blocking a competitor? Every mastodon instance w/a user following @[email protected] has a mirror copy of that feed at a URL. For me at techhub.social the URL is: https://techhub.social/@[email protected] If you are not logged in, that redirects to: https://mastodon.social/@elonjet Thus, the "assassination threat" gives Elon an excuse to block almost every mastodon instance since every mastodon instance likely had a user following ElonJet. @[email protected] @[email protected]
@kdvncm currently 40K+ followers i think... interesting argument, thanks

Thomas@fulelo And we thought that Trump was the biggest bitch who Putin could ever own.🇷🇺
MartinausHamburg2@fulelo well, Kriszta time to Switch IS now.
