This is completely unhinged. I am officially done with the bird site. Thanks to everyone who followed me here, you'll be seeing even more of me.
So what is absolute madness about this policy from Twitter (which I'm sure the chief twit crafted himself) is that (a) I assume the point is to keep people from leaving Twitter and going to other platforms instead; and (b) I'm guessing that for many people, like me, this will be the final straw that causes them to officially leave Twitter.

@cfiesler A few days ago a user who joined my local server said that it was Elon blocking links to Mastodon that convinced them it was worth joining.

And, it's a great advertisement for Mastodon that it's listed immediately after FB and IG.

@steven that is a great point :)
