Parker MolloyTwitter is now banning links to Mastodon, Post, Facebook, Instagram, and banning other linktree type links https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/social-platforms-policy
π²π§Ώ "Max"tπ½dπ΅οΈn ππ@parkermolloy Mastodon does not block these links.
πππππ 
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... πͺ
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 βWe will remove any free promotionβ
Soβ¦ theyβll 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 βοΈ@ty_406 @parkermolloy @parkerortolani Until Twitter Blue's video feature comes out and Elon has another tantrum
ε¦θ 
@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 itβs 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?

Comfortably Numb@parkermolloy Holy crap Elmo is a whiny little bitch.
Wolven@parkermolloy Free Speech, as long as 'free' doesn't include links to places that don't ban Muskrat critics.
A T Beaune εεθ¨₯'Free speech absolutist' π
dapplezee@parkermolloy banning FB? billionaire on billionaire action, get the popcorn!
stevenray@parkermolloy theyβre becoming the North Korea of social media.
Miles Offit... π¨π¦πͺπΊπΊπ¦@parkermolloy Why is everyone still using Twitter?
Dwight Williams (π x9)+π·π¨π¦@parkermolloy Predictable and horrific all at once.
Alex Garcia-Kummert@parkermolloy any time you can news dump in the middle of an incredible sporting event (arguably highlighting the value of their service), you simply have to do it
brandon π»@bdimcheff @parkermolloy
So, if you'll pay someone for it, then the link will not be "free" and those rules should not apply to these links π

@parkermolloy poor Tumblr, not even making it on this list.
Mike Vincent@parkermolloy however twitter will accept posts from those sites, as well as money for them to advertise on twitter
TheRealAdde πΈπͺπͺπΊπΊπ¦@parkermolloy Are u surprised? He becomes more desperate each day, there is 44 billion and his reputation at stake.
@adde Not at all surprised
@parkermolloy Me either, let's enjoy the show π πΏ
Momofcb@parkermolloy This is desperation. The social network landscape will change/is changing and many of these billionaires are going to lose influence. Ppl are taking their power back.
Humanist Engineer@parkermolloy holy crap. It's like he's using 1984 as an instruction manual for his platform.
(((o))) Acoustic Mirror@parkermolloy This is a meltdown, isn't it?
Hammancheez@parkermolloy what the actual tapdancing fuck
Sasha Fox@parkermolloy Seems like it should violate anti-competition laws.
Peter Principle@parkermolloy THIS might finally get the FTC's attention.
White Gandalf@parkermolloy And it will probably be retroactive. So some link I posted eight years ago will get me banned.
Zircean@parkermolloy @deltatux looks like they did block truth social after all, get your popcorn out
Pophouse@parkermolloy
why the fuck would anyone stay there at this point?

Ian Ramjohn@parkermolloy "At both the Tweet level *and the account level*, we will remove any free promotion of prohibited 3rd-party social media platforms"
I'm curious what this means for existing profiles like mine. Will I get banned for not removing those links from my profile? Or do I get a warning first?
@parkermolloy Oh, I should have read a bit further down the page:
"If violations of this policy are included in your bio and/or account name, we will temporarily suspend your account and require changes to your profile to no longer be in violation. Subsequent violations may result in permanent suspension."

@iramjohn @parkermolloy Insanity.
