🌲🧿 "Max"t💽d🏵️n 🔎🍄@parkermolloy Mastodon does not block these links.

Glenn Fleishman@parkermolloy I updated my bio a month ago and my name just a few days ago when it finally unlocked after their Blue/verified implosion. So far, still up.
sorrykb@glennf @parkermolloy I changed my birdsite display name last week to my mastodon account and had to go through a whole security thing to get my account unlocked. Not changing it again.
@sorrykb @parkermolloy Interesting. I added it to my existing name so got not tsorres
Scott
Carl Clark@glennf @parkermolloy Mine's still up. I guess we'll see.
Justin Ferrell@parkermolloy humor is legal again on Twitter, at the expense of literally any other form of communication.
Chaoddity@parkermolloy That bitch on serious damage control LOL
beetlejuice's ghoulish wife@parkermolloy ahaha oh my God why would you do this and admit it. why would your example literally be "follow me somewhere else"
@mark Right? Like... I don't know, come up with something that's a bit more egregious instead of the most innocuous possible option.
@parkermolloy this is like going on a first date and saying "a big red flag to me is when someone tells me it's weird to kiss with my eyes wide open"
Tim Coe@mark @parkermolloy I told you that in confidence
Martin Vermeer FCD@mark @parkermolloy "Follow me on Johnny's place"
Sophie Schmieg@parkermolloy how is this even real? Like you'd think he'd come up with some actual reason like "it's hosting the jet account" and not just outright block all links because of "how dare you use a competitor"
cuw@parkermolloy Onlyfans isn't on the list...
PapaErnie69@parkermolloy Anti-competitive much? Wow... 😪
jtrofe@parkermolloy Tumblr feeling left out
good bye "share to twitter" functions in third party apps :D
Chris@parkermolloy An awful move, will make it harder to find folks, but I agree, it mostly just stinks of incredible sad desperation.
Virginia MurrMaybe THIS is what Dorsey meant by Elon's "Light of Consciousness"
or maybe it's banning journalists that's the "Light of Consciousness"
or maybe it's inviting disinfo networks back
or maybe it's Musk's support of LibsofTikTok, which is still inciting hate & violence against Children's Hospitals (among others)
or maybe it's the embrace of ragingly irrational far-right conspiracies
Light of Consciousness. Unf*ckingbelievable.
Steve Yelvington@parkermolloy Indeed.
Pathetic, sad and weak.
@parkermolloy “We will remove any free promotion”
So… they’ll take ads?
So… they’ll take ads?
Anadice@sorrykb @parkermolloy "excuse me, actually, I was paid to promote this mastodon user
I may have been paid in pretzels, but I was, in fact, compensated"
now picturing some kind of underground network just trading stale pretzels around to bypass the compensation loophole
Tyler McGee@parkermolloy @parkerortolani
Facebook - broke
Instagram - awful
Twitter - angry tantrums
YouTube - hey bud, wanna watch some videos?
Shoutout to YouTube for avoiding the drama and just doing what we all need it to do.
Katherine ☘️@ty_406 @parkermolloy @parkerortolani Until Twitter Blue's video feature comes out and Elon has another tantrum
如而 
@ty_406 @parkermolloy except crypto scammers are now hacking random youtube accounts to stream their stuff from and make these random accounts tough to recover when they are not tied to the real owner's gmail address, like this longplay channel noted here: https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxTeb7VfNgl-AX_elODpJn4HFoeMs82T6R
big tech just keeps on screwing up and it's amazing

lawnerdbarak@parkermolloy it’s also probably anticompetitive behavior in at least some of the jurisdictions in which twitter operates.
Musk could live ten lifetimes and not be done with the depositions headed his way
Trashfirekitten@parkermolloy Running twitter like a crappy discord server
@parkermolloy Also: Truth Social on the Forbidden list? Sounds like someone's a little salty at being given the cold shoulder by Trump~
The Febrile Muse@parkermolloy
No surprise, though, huh?
No surprise, though, huh?
Mike Vincent@parkermolloy tik tok not being on the list is interesting, considering musk’s other business needs in China
TeaJunkie@parkermolloy Is he deliberately trying to destroy Twitter? I can't think of any other reason for this.
djfeld01@parkermolloy it really is a sinking ship, but still somehow doesn't feel quite real. I assumed it would be worse under the new guy, but never assumed it would be this bad this fast.
RDS (shawphd on Twitter)@djfeld01 @parkermolloy I was expecting it to collapse due to technical failure rather than moderation failure, tbh.
AIra🦇@parkermolloy This seems unreal... but also: are brands violating that by posting alts in bios? are brands violating this by posting their info not as a promoted post? Is linking an indie game landing page w/ links to fb and insta a violation? Does this kind of moderation and antitrust behavior have any law consequences (say for tw classification as a publishing platform or some angle of net neutrality?) Have lawyers and PR teams even looked at this at all? I cannot
Masked Programmer@parkermolloy I didn't think they'd be circling the drain this fast
Rasmus Sten@[email protected] is this for real?!
@[email protected] yeah I followed your link eventually but had to read the page like five times before accepting that it was indeed real. I still can’t really believe it.
Peter Johnson@parkermolloy really it’s just a matter of time before they ban the third party clients too right? RIP Tweetbot @tapbots
JDS@parkermolloy LOL he’s literally a 14 year old BBS admin in 1993 right now 🤦♂️
Luís Silva@parkermolloy At first I thought he was acting like a kid, now I'm sure he is really stupid. 😂
@parkermolloy The sad part about this, is that it was banned to stop people fleeing to competitors, yet many will flee due to banning these links.
Nothing like Elon shooting himself in the foot.
ShadowInTheVoid@parkermolloy These rules are actually more authoritarian than Tiktok's. That is an *interesting* choice
@parkermolloy how about tw just bans any outgoing links unless paid for
israel@parkermolloy that's what free speech defenders end up doing. 🤡 Musk
Phil Nelson@parkermolloy Cartoonish even
Carsten@parkermolloy JOIN FRIENDICA!
Danny Dragon@parkermolloy How is Tumblr not on there?
Chris Silverman 🌻@parkermolloy that is probably not even a full list of the sites they're blocking. Pixelfed was saying that Twitter was going after people who shared links to their Pixelfed profiles, but as far as I know, PF is not (yet) on Twitter's public "threat to the regime" register.
John Gruber used the phrase "public descent into madness" to describe how Elon is running Twitter and that summation feels more appropriate every day.
David F. Soros@parkermolloy LOL, welp I guess it's only a matter of time until they get to me.
@parkermolloy I want him to discover spacekaren.sucks just so he has to type it out and put it in official support docs
@parkermolloy Also most "normal" people and artists use linktree. Good luck enforcing that
Emily 🏳️⚧️@parkermolloy looks like my account is about to be banned then lol. It’s in my bio and my pinned tweets.
Dan Entwistle
diorama ١٣١٢ (hänet/demm/ihn)@parkermolloy when did it change?
Francois Heinderyckx@parkermolloy
As suggested by others, there's still the QR code that can be attached to a tweet or even used as one's profile avatar.

Randi Rafaeli@parkermolloy free speech lol, now the website is as insecure as its CEO.
