@aral If you want Twitter to die, don't try to stop them from making mistakes.

@teknomunk Hahaha, oh, don’t worry, I’m not trying to stop him (it’s a him and those who serve him now, not so much a “them”) :)

@aral I guess my account will be banned soon, if they apply this retroactively

@Sh41 @aral I closed mine today. I may reopen and lock it as someone suggested that I shouldn’t allow someone else get access to my username and impersonate me.

@aral it's a big shame how Musk spent those $44b, currently destroying a social network
Show threadAral BalkanDec 18, 2022
@nazar It’s an even bigger shame he had it to begin with.

@aral
It says, "...created soley for the purpose of promoting other social platforms..." if I created it for other reasons than does it violate the rules? am I still removable?
oh wait there is more, "...and that contain links or usernames for the following..." what if my username is the same which it is.

@aral man-baby is indeed the right word.

@aral it is amazing, I keep expecting some kind of genius 9D chess move that makes everyone go " oooooooooooh that makes sense" rather than " wow, I didn't realize my expectations of a person _could_ go lower than they already were."

@aral What "public conversation" is he talking about? Half of the topics are forbidden meanwhile. Soon you're only allowed to post things that soothe the baby. Glad I left that unholy cradle years ago…

@aral he’s a full on clown, for sure. While a lot of journalists/bloggers rely on Twitter for revenue, it’s time to figure out a different path. The bird site as we knew it 6 months ago is gone and honestly, I don’t think it’ll ever come back. 6 months from now, it’ll be just as different. #RIPTwitter

@aral Oh wow. Not to mention "Mastodon" as is not a platform, mentioning it together in the same bucket as the rest is misconceptualising the issue, but yeah...

@aral No Elon... You have *banned* having a public conversation on your Freeze Peach Absoutionist platform... So it is *not* where the conversation is happening.

@edgaras Thankfully, the fediverse and Mastodon are great stopgaps for the moment.
