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.
LOLOLOL. Like 12 hours later, Twitter’s “Promotion of Alternative Social Media Platform Policy” is just gone. Along with all the tweets from Twitter Support about it that had over 100k RTs. Without a word. Just like, oh maybe they’ll all just think they dreamed it. What an absolute circus. Anyway, welcome new folks. :) #twittermigration
@cfiesler Too bad that I already deactivated my account there. I may still reactivate it in the future, but that's contingent on who is running their show. For now, their policy changes back and forth don't matter to me -- the intent and their direction is more clear and resolute than ever.
