taylor hatmakerTwitter blocks links to Mastodon, making a really good case for Mastodon https://techcrunch.com/2022/12/15/elon-musk-suspends-mastodon-twitter-account-over-elonjet-tracking/
Andy Baio@Tayhatmaker Journa.host is now blocked, along with many others that don't have "mastodon" in the name. (I counted at least 25 myself.) Also, it's not just Mastodon links in tweets and profiles, but in DMs, as well.
@andybaio theory that it's one guy doing the enforcement manually checks out lol
@Tayhatmaker feels like someone was handed a list of popular instances and is manually adding them to some internal tool, one by one
Jeremy Gooch@andybaio @Tayhatmaker Fun job. Let's hope they've put their CV out into the market.
MJ Ray@andybaio @Tayhatmaker "internal tool" is the new owner's job title, isn't it?
Phil RobertsonRemaining on Twitter is now completely untenable:

Peter Yang, MD - Yaz@Tayhatmaker Idea for people who want to tell people about their Mastodon IDs and are being blocked from posting links: Use screenshots. And if that doesn't work, let's bring back ROT13!
Marc Mims@Tayhatmaker @randfish so Elon lit the place on fire and now he's blocking the exits. It just gets better and better. 🤦♀️
Gabriele Pollara@Tayhatmaker link not working. If you change can also boast about Edit button here!!!
100Trillions@Tayhatmaker yeah i know it
Chix@Tayhatmaker It's official: Mastodon is now considered forbidden knowledge on Elon's Twitter.
crash-stop@Tayhatmaker spotted that in the Guardian article , talk about right wing grievance cutlure snowflakes !! I mean Elen cmon , you are kind of making the case for the fediverse with each action and each tweet!! As someone said to Sheldon ' Dumb Ass"
mkzptr@Tayhatmaker These people were over marketing for mastodon on twitter. 😂 He had no choice.
Openroomxyz@Tayhatmaker Do you know how can I get mastodon working on browser on desktop?
Jack Sokol@openroomxyz @Tayhatmaker I did a search today on how to switch servers and got pointed at some login links. Was able to do all that from Chrome on my laptop.
Ole V. S. Mortense 🇩🇰🇪🇺@Tayhatmaker If my deductive reasoning isn’t failing me, I’d say Twitter’s boss had some kind of agenda by blocking Links like that… I only wonder, How he’d know the difference between a link to a website and a link to mastodon?
Omid Farhang@Tayhatmaker One more reason to use debirdify!
Ali 
@Tayhatmaker Its definitely heading in the right direction.
Karl Louis@Tayhatmaker and pixelfed
Mike Mayak@Tayhatmaker He'll get a t-shirt that says "It Ain't Cancel Culture When It's Us!"
bysteveguthrie@Tayhatmaker why are we even talking about the bird sites? It’s full of racists, biggots and doesn’t believe in free speech. #nobird
Ginevra@Tayhatmaker just saw this. I tried to share my link on Twitter but it won’t. I had to manually write it out and not all in one! 😂
edgeoforever 🍎@Tayhatmaker thanks for the idea. Let’s see if Elmo saves me the trouble of archiving and deleting my tweets
Bjorn Toft Madsen@Tayhatmaker it's just unreal - electric space baby acting like he never heard of the Streisand effect. In what insane world is there a valid justification to calling Mastodon links harmful? By Darwin what a man-child.
Dreamer@Tayhatmaker He just removed a feature out of anger and embarrassment. I guess money really can't buy happiness.

Is anyone going to bother to verify to #Techcrunch? 🤦♂️
Aeder@ialberdilza @Tayhatmaker @Gargron Techcrunch isnt talking about the mastodon website. It's talking about the addresses of the instances themselves, where you would actually go and check out the content.
@Aeder Yes, it appears that the 'problem' with the instances is correct.
On how they have been able to implement the blockade.

Tao Wong@Tayhatmaker I tried putting a post up that I'm going and it got blocked.
newsorpigalIsn't this textbook anti-competitive behaviour?
🎄Cerulean Man🎄@Tayhatmaker Twitter even blocking JPEG and screengrab images of any Mastodon mentions.
Tamme Schichler@Tayhatmaker On a mostly unrelated note, TechCrunch may want to update its cookie consent code to not allow only certain sites for the social media preview.
I'm just seeing "TechCrunch is part of the Yahoo family of brands
consent.yahoo.com" here.
Keith Hill@Tayhatmaker At what point do companies and government officials walk away from Twitter? They are officially a platform of suppression with no accountability. #TwitterExodus #TwitterPurge
Patriotic Democrat@KeithHill @Tayhatmaker Would it be wrong or weir for the US government to host it’s own government mastodon server for government accounts?
@B_Dogood @Tayhatmaker That's a really interesting topic. I think it would be a wrong decision because then the government would have to do moderation on the instance, which is very problematic. Government doing censorship shouldn't happen.
Shmarkus@KeithHill @B_Dogood @Tayhatmaker it would be basically only for verification. Only government accounts are allowed. The EU comission has similar instance for example
steveofseattleIt appears to have begun...
Hope 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🏴 SNP@Tayhatmaker @KeithHill you can bet it won’t be their moral compasses that guide the way…it will be profit and loss for companies, and loss of influence for government…and therein lies the problem.

@Tayhatmaker they loosing ground and they are afraid. Shady tactics never win…
Mike Hemmes@Tayhatmaker
Yup. Tried changing my #Twitter bio from “…Mastodon: @hemmes” to “…Mastodon: mas.to/@hemmes” and received a message stating “Description is considered malware.” Unbelievable.

@Tayhatmaker @reckoneer When Elon banned Aaron Rupar and other major journalists yesterday that was a sign that twitter is now in it’s death spiral.
It’s past the point of no return.

Good chance. I've seen a big up tick with many people that I've hoping would at least start a second presence.

@Tayhatmaker I like anything Musk doesn't.
Chris Squire@Tayhatmaker I am trying to get new followers here. As a small business owner it is scary to see people play with platforms like that.
@themagicwoodbus totally. you could invest a ton of time into your biz and then it vanishes overnight
@Tayhatmaker it can expand overnight too. Thanks for your blossoming positivity.
@Tayhatmaker this is some China Level censorship right here
Mr. Lance E Sloan (IRL) 👤@Tayhatmaker yes, I just experienced that myself. Elon is afraid! 🤣
Eric Redegeld💻🏎️☀️🙋💖@Tayhatmaker well. Now that the journalist are back at the bird . It is business as usual
jon@host:~$ 
@Tayhatmaker if what I saw was true about Elon having a scare with his kid, I understand why he did a full 180 with the whole location tracking thing, but I don't see why twitter needs to try to blacklist all of mastadon because of it... Unless they're just using it as an excuse for anticompetitive practices?
Joshua Hürzeler@Tayhatmaker swisss.social also blocked
OldeHippi 🦋🎨🙏🌺@Tayhatmaker it is his lost - one of millions, eh?
