Paul Graham didn’t even have any URL or Mastodon account identified in his profile. It being on his personal website was enough to ban him. What a train wreck.
@tony just incredible that this was the same guy a few weeks ago
@tony lol apparently you can't refer to a site that might link to mastodon
@ignu I wonder how far we can drag out that recursive logic
@tony it's not about alternate sites.. it's about removing media/oversite/accountability. Remove anyone with a different opinion with a big following, remove the pushback from whatever agenda you have.
@tony the actual rule he violated was hurting Elon's feelings
@tony bruh a vast majority of active profiles on twitter are violating these new "rules" cause everyone has a link to a website or something to other social media
@tony i wonder if that means reporting them will get them suspended, or do they not have an actual moderation team anymore..

@tony

Google next? It has a link to my Mastodon account. Could someone please let #elon know of this disgraceful free promotion ;-)

@tony So I have #webfinger setup such that @kurtseifried redirects here... so if I post my email.... err...
@tony no I just looked as of 7:40 EST his account is still there.
@Seabrooke It was suspended, then later restored.
@tony he sure is a volatile businessman. I wonder what the board of directors of Tesla think of his wasting all this time messing up Twitter rather than focusing on a business with actual investors.

@tony

Since links are out, I built an animated GIF maker that folks can use to let their Twitter followers know they've moved to Mastodon.

I won't be surprised if using it ends in suspension, but at least I'll have let folks know where I am.

Mastodon GIF Maker

Let folks know you're on Mastodon with a presonalized GIF

@TheIdOfAlan @tony Thanks for this I used it and it's there in pride of place you know where. How terribly useful!
@tony he said the word mastodon, that's a paddlin
@tony Yeah, so I went to all the trouble to modify my profile and Wonder-Boy goes and reverses the policy. Stability sells right?
