Because as the shanty me old nan used to sing goes:
"When by bird #Elno one is shat upon, look for the embrace of #JohnMastodon
Leaving #twitter is now a must. Here are four reasons why:

@Ohiohawkeye @taylorlorenz I'm not defending Elon at all because I think he's an absolute idiot & his decline has really been accelerating over the last few years.
I drive a Tesla. I bought it before he went totally, publicly Evil & just seemed eccentric.
Something I've noticed: my car has received some of the best & most stable software updates ever since Elon bought & became fixated on Twitter.
The longer he's distracted elsewhere, the better the car gets.
@taylorlorenz he bought #twitter. When you post NOW on #twitter, you kind of post on his feed, page or website.
Would you let anyone post opposing views on YOUR feed? Would you let anything you disagree with, stay on your #Facebook or #twitter feed?
So I am puzzled by this reaction, 'Oh my, how dare he ban me?!'
That is his website now. Move to #Mastodon and support #opensource
@taylorlorenz It really looks like #ElonMusk 's grip on real journalism is tightening. He talks about "free speech" yet he is the one choosing who has a voice. #Twitter has become a sad place indeed.
However, i choose to see it as an opportunity to start over while giving him the long finger. Pretty sure that common sense will win in the long run 👌 😉

There is interaction with Musk
“I’m not famous and I wasn’t a public figure either when Taylor Lorenz asked for my address, said it wasn’t for publication and then proceeded to dox me in the NYT with the address she had assured me she wasn’t going to publish. The article was shared many x on Twitter. @elonmusk”
@taylorlorenz Never look back (except for follow-up stories). Product life is short on the Interwebs; #Twitter is down for the count and Zuckerberg's digital dinosaur continues expiring in super-slow motion.
Welcome to this thing here! There's an Edit button in place of the algorithms...
As a WAPO subscriber- I'd really appreciate WaPo start and official account here.
what do you expect from millionaires? Eat the rich@taylorlorenz Your work is the BEST and you are the smartest hire WaPo ever made. Like, the only major writer across the legacy papers to understand the current information environment at all.

“@NickRiccardi This thread https://t.co/JyPEXQ7RFy Seems to be about something TWO YEARS AGO. Clearly the rule is that if you cross Elon he'll find something to dig up to justify a ban”
