Hi @[email protected]

You have banned linking to your social media competitors, including via link aggregators

I'd like to report that @[email protected] is in direct violation of this policy

Or is this rule only going to be applied against your ideological enemies?

Thanks,

Judd

This particular rule is even more poorly thought out than the other rules that Musk is making on the fly. It says you can't link to many alternative social networks. I do have accounts on Mastodon and Post, am I allowed to mention that? Or will that get me suspended?
Show threadJudd LegumDec 18, 2022
Further, before this rule was in place, I have tweeted links to those accounts, am I now required to go through my timeline of 70K+ tweets and see if anything I've ever tweeted violates the rule that Musk made up this morning?

Dear @[email protected]

@[email protected], one of my favorite accounts, is aware they are in direct violation of your wise rules but continues to ignore them

Please take action before this reckless behavior causes more damage

And please say hi to Jared for me

Your humble servant,

judd

Musk specifically hasnโ€™t banned mention of Tik Tok, or far right anti Semitic sites Gab, and Gttr.
Why is not difficult to work outโ€ฆ.

@juddlegum It's not just that. MANY people use linking sites to direct people to their stores and personal sites, as well as their other social media / publication sites. So he's essentially directly prohibiting small/indie creatives and other business owners from using Twitter as any kind of promotional tool.

@juddlegum If old tweets to those platforms are a violation, that would be crazier than crazy.

But it would be consistent, right? If they are going to ban people for past actions, past tweets would be open for scrutiny as well.

On the plus side, I'm seeing far fewer toots of tweets lately, and we didn't even need to ban them!

@juddlegum Who CARES? #Twitter is #Musk's TOY, not some social media that is supposed to welcome #journalists.

Why is this a big feal because it's happening to YOU? You can't even recognize that the rules DON'T MATTER. They are not in the least important.

Do you not realize Musk DOESN'T WANT YOU and that makes you a TRESPASSER on HIS property?

This is ridiculous. You guys think it is your space and are demanding he give seats in his Nazi bar! You have no right! (Except in some EU fantasies.)
