This is really stupid:
• Facebook, Instagram, Mastodon are not allowed on Twitter
• Even “Link in Bio” services are not allowed
• Even sharing screenshots of handles on other social networks is no longer allowed

It’s also so weird how specific this selection is. What about TikTok, YouTube, Twitch?

@Tibor if they put TikTok on the list, they’d have to crack down on LibsOfTikTok.

@Tibor I feel like this could be routed around.

Do you think this is technically feasible?

Musk’s latest decree banning the promotion of Mastodon on Twitter is an obvious attempt to stymie services like Movetodon/FediFinder. Suggestion: These services should allow users to validate identity by posting an innocuous but 100% unique plain English phrase in their Twitter bio known only to the identifier service. Alternatively, if the account is public, a public tweet could be used. Musk can’t police that — certainly not through automated means. @[email protected] @[email protected]

@Tibor I changed my bio to point to the overall https://hpc.social site, which doesn’t violate their new terms. There’s a link to our Mastodon project there that explicitly includes links on the project page on how to sign up and how to use various features, including the user directory.

@Tibor such a stupid move and outcry that they reversed the policy after just a few hours. Then they put up a poll asking if they should do it.
Apparently Saudi investors in twitter are pressuring Musk to step back and stop making stupid policy decisions on a whim.

@Tibor is this going to affect how movetodon works? (since there will no longer be mastodon usernames on twitter)
