Casey NewtonThey banned Paul Graham for tweeting his Mastodon link. Paul freaking Graham!
Coty Rosenblath@caseynewton Lot of people being surprised by the face-eating leopards today.
William@caseynewton he didn’t even tweet it, he told people to look for it on his website
Raveesh
Nichlas H@caseynewton he didn't even post a link. He simply mentioned that we could find it on his personal site 🫣
Taras Mishchenko@smox @caseynewton Did he post a link on his site or just mention it? It doesn't really matter, but it's interesting to see if there are any rules left on Twitter or if they just pretend there are.
Trey Titone@tarasmi @smox @caseynewton he mentioned you can find a link on his site. He didn’t post the actual link.
may0ren
Jesper Andersen@caseynewton he didn’t even tweet the link, right? He just said you could find it on his website?
Darren@caseynewton hey, at least they're being fair about it
Helmi@caseynewton he just doesn’t give a f*ck. It’s so absurd.
@caseynewton Rules are rules?
Steve ☕️🥋🌯@caseynewton He didn't even post a link. He said people could find the link to his Mastodon on his personal website.
When a techbro loses hackernews.....
hicder@caseynewton wow. crazy to think just last month he still gave Elon benefit of the doubt.
Matt Rosenberg@caseynewton I'm starting to think that some of Elmo's enablers are only too happy to help him because they know it will expedite Twitter's demise.
Mark Hunt@caseynewton Well then... I was baiting a ban on my band's Twitter page but Paul Graham is way more important than I am. Guess my band won't have a Twitter account for much longer 😕
bijan
Matt Ficke@caseynewton not even a link! Just a vague instruction to find the link on his own site!
Kevin Whalen 
@caseynewton Now they are just embarrassing themselves.
lgtm@caseynewton at this point you know it’s some twitter employees doing some /r/maliciouscompliance seeing how elon is away at Qatar
Thomas@lgtm @caseynewton my thoughts exactly 😅
Konstantin SchubertIt's sad though. I liked twitter.
kentonue@caseynewton and I’m pretty sure he didn’t even link to it just said his website had a link to it on it. So is the rule if any linked site has a mastodon link it is banned? Lol jk we know there are no real rules it’s just don’t hurt that guys feelings
Stefan@caseynewton I can't wait to ban him here too TBH.
Antonio Páez 🇲🇽🇨🇦I already did!
lippard✅
@caseynewton He didn't tweet his link. He just said that his Mastodon profile link could be found on his website.
last senpai@caseynewton Paul Graham's Fediverse account @paulg
@big @caseynewton @[email protected]
Already blocked
xmlns="Dan"@caseynewton now we need him banned from everywhere else.
benpiggot@caseynewton woah thats kind of big. He's sort of Musk-sympatico. Probably will get re-instated, but still
Ellia Ivy McLeod@caseynewton I've posted a link to my Mastodon account multiple times today and nothing happened. I guess the rule is only for high profile accounts.
Teufel Wolf@elliaivyworld @caseynewton High profile accounts are more likely to be mass reported. Like I reported @facebook for posting links to FB profiles (just because I would like to see Musk and Zuck have a ban fight)
Charles Williamson@caseynewton Did he even post a direct link? I only saw him post a link to his website, which contained a Mastodon link
Ketil Froyn@caseynewton so you know he's already here, as @paulg
joelandren@caseynewton never thought PG would outdo me.
Alexander Sandberg@caseynewton I feel like we need an extra juicy Twitter meltdown special episode on Hard Fork soon. 👀
SloanLA@caseynewton Noses cutting faces and whatnot... LOL
Josh Dorkin@caseynewton Not surprised in the least.
ninavizz@caseynewton THAT is goddamned adorable.
Jim Rutt@caseynewton da fuck? Musk seems to be quite caught up in a narcissistic doom spiral. Either that or he is playing 7 dimensional chess.
Maxwell White
Spencer Dailey@caseynewton he didn't even post the mastodon link, just mentioned his link was on his personal site
@caseynewton what his account on here?
Ernie Smith@caseynewton He just mentioned his link was on his personal website, which is true for a lot of us, so I guess we’re all getting suspended tomorrow
Antonio Piccolboni@caseynewton I don't think he did. His last tweet said that he was giving up on Twitter and that his Mastodon link was on his web site. The twitter wall is expanding.
Steven G. Harms@caseynewton zomg whose army of flying monkey fanbois will win? It’s Caesar versus Pompey all over again
Goofrider@caseynewton Where is he on the fediverse?
VimFuego@caseynewton Ugh. Now he’s on Mastodon. My first fediverse muting.
Oscar@caseynewton a very interesting Game of Thrones, not of Westeros, but of VCs of Silicon Valley may have been started. What if Paul is calling all his VC buddies to block Elno’s billionaire beggar campaign to keep financing his failing companies?
JamesN 🏳️🌈@caseynewton Elon isn’t going to get an invite to speak to this year’s Ycombinator class is he?
MediapoliticThis type of thing is so common on Mastadon. Which one is “real?”
Sugarbearlover@mediapolitic @caseynewton , agreed! I’ve looked for people and seen 6-10 profiles! What gives?
Tim✅:verified:
Will Smith@caseynewton He's not a member of the thin-skinned billionaire club, I guess.
shreyan@caseynewton in the end, he unbanned him and reversed the policy... as expected
@caseynewton PG didn’t even tweet the link. He just said he was moving to Mastodon and to find his Mastodon account on his site.

ohhaivinny@caseynewton I am so Out of the loop here, who is Paul Graham?
