Never have to check Twitter mentions again, hell yeah 😎
@Gargron Thats also one way to see things xD
@Gargron Did you get booted?
@kevinteljeur @Gargron Musk the manbaby banned the Mastodon Twitter account & banned ALL links to Mastodon.
@AndGraceToo @Gargron Oh yes, I saw that! I though that maybe Eugen had been personally banned (which wouldn’t be surprising either at this point)
@AndGraceToo @kevinteljeur @Gargron what happened to his no-censorship principle?
@b0gste @kevinteljeur @Gargron He's not a principled man. He's a self entitled narcissist & pale, puffy manbaby who says things to appease his weird stans but it's just words with no substance.

@AndGraceToo @b0gste @kevinteljeur @Gargron

What really bothers me about all this. You have people like George holtz talking about using open source code for Twitter. Stealing from mastodon. The guy was always a narcissist and always will be. Never been a fan, never joined the fanboys.

@AndGraceToo @kevinteljeur @Gargron Do they think not linking to Mastodon will stem the tide of people leaving?

How many more will be purged for writing about Mastodon now?

#twitterpurge

@jkb @AndGraceToo @Gargron It’s just one man, flailing around as he destroys his acquisition and the value of his beloved car company with it. But yeah, big Streisand Effect getting applied here
@jkb @AndGraceToo @kevinteljeur @Gargron It might be effective, the people getting banned are the ones with already a foot outside, it’s more important to prevent the news to reach others than trying to keep them in.
Hopefully it won’t be enough, i left twitter recently, the reports i get is that it’s getting more toxic by the day, and it wasn’t exactly peaceful before, surely people will just get out now, wherever they may go.

@tshirtman @AndGraceToo @kevinteljeur @Gargron I left a long time ago. I looked back once, found Mastodon but didn't get active, looked at Twitter again, quit social media, and in the last half of this year just went all in on Mastodon.

Best thing too because before the first great migration was making great connections.

And now I think I have some of the best interactions ever within Mastodon and made me think this is what it should be like.

@jkb Here I am, just sent my "Dear John" to Elon.
@AndGraceToo @Gargron Weird, I think I saw some abusive replies from a Muskboi but I blocked the user 😄
@kevinteljeur @AndGraceToo @Gargron definitely some attention seeking going on but I also blocked it 😂
@kevinteljeur @Gargron elmo banned mastodon on twitter yep
@Gargron But how much did you pay to get _THAT_ advertisement campaign going?
@Gargron Best way to go once and for all 😄
@Gargron fuck Elon stay decentralized on this

@Gargron

No problem, we have some servers with capacity.

@Gargron quitting twitter is like quitting smoking, you may well miss killing yourself but in the end you will feel so much better without the daily drip of poison
@Gargron Badge of honour . 😊

@Gargron mastodon made it, being banned on twitter is a badge of honour sometimes
@Gargron I like you finding the positive 🙏🏻
@Gargron would be nice to have the app like the web version, simpler with only 3 tabs, this server thing is too much 😅
@Gargron Every time an #elon makes a decision a #twitter user gets its wings. 😂
@Gargron Oh wow, an actual RIP my mentions
@Gargron
I know exactly what you mean.
@Gargron How does it feel to have the world richest man feel threatened by you? 😄
@Gargron Did the same thing a few days ago. What if Elon follows and joins us here? 🙃
@Gargron Probably better off without them
@Gargron Showing replies stopped working on my Twitter account a few days ago anyway.
@Gargron that was my last trigger to finally delete my Twitter account.
@Gargron Once again: we thank you for your efforts!

@Gargron Elon’s kid was in a car that was blocked and attacked by a nutter thanks to the doxxing of his location by bad actors. Even if it’s “public info” on some database, to broadcast it regularly on Twitter will only help stalkers. It serves no other purpose.

For Mastodon to support this doxxing (inc posting links on Twitter from official mastodon accounts) is not just spiteful, it is sinister and shows an unethical side to the management of this OSS software.

@chrisbeach @Gargron #Musk makes bizarre connection between stalker and elonjet. Didn't even file a police report.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/12/18/details-of-musk-stalking-incident/

Musk blamed a Twitter account for an alleged stalker. Police see no link.

The incident last week underscored how Elon Musk’s personal concerns can influence his governance of a social media platform used by hundreds of millions of people.

@Gargron Q: Are link preview cards in the works for the iOS app? They work on the browser version I know…

@Gargron unfortunately, since that's where a significant chunks of the companies I do business with conduct their "support", now, still have to go to Twitter if I need support.

Knowing what I know about Twitter's security, I'm not *real* happy that two of those companies are my banks' initial customer service entry-points.
