If I’m reading this right, simply having @[email protected] on your profile, no link, no call to action, will get your account suspended.

I guess I had a good 14 year run…

Banning Jack will be hilarious on so many levels.

I’m excited to eventually get @[email protected] suspended for posting a link to the App Store to an app that let’s you connect to a forbidden network.
@paul genuinely incredible how twitter is doing the one thing that will without fail give people an impulse to try to do something: tell them that it's forbidden because we said so
@paul I guess Elon never heard that forbidden things are more interesting to people
@paul Don’t know how near to a going live Ivory is, but I think this rule will fall very quick due to the backlash and so there is no need to „worry“ imho.
@paul I’m excited for that day too. Desperately need a better Mastodon client :-/
@paul @mark you don’t want to have key account names banned because those will get recycled and idiots will take them and make them blue ticks and spew nonsense. Protect the brands but stick it to the egomaniac.
@paul: Keep us up-to-date. 😁
@paul that is if they’ll even allow links to anything unless you pay for “verification”
@paul I wonder what happens to API keys if an account is suspended
@mttvll ah crap, good point I have no idea.
@paul Elon will be okay with it if you pay for it like an Ad.
@paul even though it’s not done, some of us would pay for an alpha that’s being tested through the App Store and then pay again for it when it’s “done” if you want to get banned faster from Twitter 🙃🙃
@paul I look forward to Elon adding ActivityPub support to make Twitter 2.5 a Mastodon instance 😂
@jellway @paul I look forward to it getting defederated within six hours of him doing so
@cdonnellytx @paul I'd make the biggest batch of 🍿you've ever seen!
@paul out of interest, given Twitter is kinda free falling, have you considered MVPing Ivory into the App Store and then iterating on it using TestFlight, rather than solely via TestFlight for now?
@tombuildsstuff I have an MVP list in mind, we’re not there yet.
@paul Ooooh! You should use the phrase "forbidden network" in your marketing to make it sound mysterious!
@paul I have been using Tweetbot for so long and am so excited for Ivory

@paul All my gold for a mastodon client that’s not constantly losing its place in my timeline. I spend more time re-finding my place in my timeline than I do reading my timeline...

PS - I don’t have a TON of gold, but I still think you guys are undercharging for the Tweetbot subscription and I bet Mastodon users are more generous anyway....

@paul ultimate validation of your efforts 💯
@paul I hope he does get banned. I’ve never liked Jack anyways so he can go

@paul He already got kicked out once, 17 hours after writing his first newsletter due to the closing of Revue.

@paul Think there is a way TweetBot and Ivory can collaborate to set up an authenticated directory of matched accounts on Twitter and Mastodon?

@paul Guaranteed this is the only reason Nostr is on the ban list
@paul Space Karen gonna Space Karen
@paul I’ve had my Mastodon username in my bio for a month and I won’t be logging in to remove it. Banning me would remove any temptation to go back.
@paul yep. Waiting to find out. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@paul seems that way. Think I’ll take the suspension rather than follow this ludicrous rule and remove the link from my profile 🤣
@paul Ivory can’t come soon enough 😜 (great name btw)
@paul This is so ridiculous. Been there for 14 years, too. Haven't thought it could go down that fast.

@paul I have that in my account since a couple of days. Let’s see if I get suspended or not.

What a sad ending for an amazing product.

@paul I guess Movetodon and other similar services will cease to work. Doh.
@paul I changed mine to "I'm cwalkatron at the other place". Movetodon won't find it, but maybe people will? Not sure how wide Mastodon search is.
@paul only for usernames pointing to the sites listed: Facebook, Instagram, Mastodon, Truth Social, Tribel, Post and Nostr. I guess they don’t consider Hive Social a threat. Ouch.
@paul I can’t wait to get in on ivory.

@paul

I have been a bit sneaky - added link to simoncox.com/twitter which redirects to Mastodon...

Let's see if they can find that.

@paul I’ve not been suspended yet. How long will it take?
@paul honestly, I’m kinda looking forward to it. Will enjoy being part of the class action around anti-competition
@paul I will wear that suspension with honor if it happens

@paul I have it on my profile - only just added it!

A day or so ago you couldn't even add it to your profile.

@paul please Paul, open up @ivory soon - it’s our only hope!
@paul at this point, is Twitter still a social media platform?
@paul I'm waiting to see what happens to my twitter account. I'm not on one of the big instances, so unless they start a regexp looking for patterns instead of specific instance names my account may survive for a while.
@paul I can’t even tweet a message containing a link of a Mastodon server.
@paul Here’s to at least a 50 year run on Mastodon!

@paul looks like that's the way to go to achieve true free speech 😂

Can't even imagine on how many levels that will break everything... 🙈

@paul It seems like if you’ve already got a Mastodon link in your profile, you’re ok but if you just add it now it could be flagged? Maybe over time (if this rule even stays in place long enough) older profiles could be filtered out with different platform accounts.
@paul oof.. that means my many many year run will be done as well

@paul

@Lazarou

I've had @MiguelSmizSuarez on my Twatter handle since I got over here (not long tbf) but so far no pasa nada. Haven't got thousands of followers tho.

@MiguelSmizSuarez @paul same here, and I'm not changing my profile on #Twitter either, the petulant manchild can ban me!

@Lazarou @paul

Class action for contrevention of EU regs coming up? Hope so, could do with some Telsa solar batteries which I'd willing forego if helps relieve world poverty with whatever he's got left when he's done p*****g it all away.

@paul freedumb ov speeeech innit..
@paul Mine hasn’t been taken down.
@paul 15 years for me. We will see if Mastodon handle will end this for me…
