@TechConnectify honestly Twitter for its entire existence has been excellent proof of the fact that information availability is not enough to fight propaganda

like, just because you can look up the reasons for things easily, doesn't mean that you will, ever

@TechConnectify Their fans are doing some amazing mental gymnastics!

Spammers don't even use these links to begin with, they create links that are mostly crypto related. It's unreal.

@TechConnectify

So much for Phony Starks bluster about free speech.

Massively hypocritical and juvenile.

Also he's happy for inbound links to the Fowl Place from Facebook or Mastodon.

Which regulatory bodies will be investigating this and how quickly?

@TechConnectify rarely do people outside an abusive relationship get to see what enablers look like so clearly

any one of these people are also the type to make up a reason why someone they know abused someone else. they invent a fantasy so that they can forget about what they’ve seen with their own eyes and go back to being comfortable and unchallenged

a negative peace

@TechConnectify I don't think they're "happily concluding" anything - I think they're engaging in bad faith because SK is "their guy" and they have to spin the facts as they are.

Either way, the only productive choices are to either not respond, or to respond in a way that makes it clear that you don't think they earnestly believe what they're saying and start guessing at their actual intentions.

@TechConnectify oh sh- Tech Connections is #onhere now??? you gotta try syndicating to Peertube next 

srsly tho, your channel is the only direct concrete evidence I have that anybody gives as much of a shit about lighting as I do, and/or notices things at the same level of detail I do!

long live incandescent fairy lights with yellow instead of orange!! pretty sure a set of these in my childhood bedroom had something to do with the start of my fascination. 

@TechConnectify I like the Technology Connections that doesn't focus on elon and twitter, it's tiresome. Can we get that back again?

Definitely the worst part of twits moving to mastodon is the uptick in hearing about that asshole and his website.

@TechConnectify

If we interpret the language carefully, you can technically still promote YouTube content.

So you *could* keep using your profile to post YouTube links.

@TechConnectify

It's obvious this is an ego move from Musk. It's no coincidence twitter spaces were removed when he didn't do so well in one- twitter competitors are now banned form twitter as they're drawing in users from Musk's terrible moves.

@TechConnectify
I'm deliberately violating that with my pinned tweet.. I won't put any new tweets putting up my handle.. but as far as I'm concerned, if the muskman wants to take them down, he can be my guest, I ain't doing it for him.

It proves that musk has done one thing: started a game of wack a mole with mastodon handles.

Hell, suspending my account is fine too, it's a great way to make sure my handle isn't stolen(not that it ever will be)... maybe I'll finally never go back if they do.

@TechConnectify When I logged in to see if my Masto links had been zapped yet - I got a full page "Make your Profile Pic an NFT" prompt. So that is apparently allowed.

And it does remind me of the attempts at Vendor lock in with the Tesla Chargers etc - make it difficult to leave the Ecosystem

@TechConnectify They are even sensing out messages that says the new policy is making it bannable to promote competition.

Promote competition. Plenty of screenshots of it.

I wonder who he’s going after when the critics and competition is gone. Maybe his childhood memories of Apartheid will surface?

@TechConnectify I'm crawling up the Mastodon learning curve and this is my first try at a reply. Hopefully I'm not breaking etiquette.

Has anyone mentioned the damage to the new bird site owners personal brand? If I were in the market for an EV, and I will be when my building completes the contact to install charging in the garage, vehicle brand T will not be a consideration for me. How do I know I won't get my car bricked if I offend the boss? Or maybe my brakes will malfunction?
