Dr. Casey FieslerThis 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
JessieReally excellent job with that Twitter policy designed to keep people from finding out about alternative social media platforms. Graph from @mastodonusercount just before midnight ET 12/18/22.
Deinonychus@cfiesler It is honestly impressive at this point
John Panzer@cfiesler @mastodonusercount A perfectly executed operation all around.
mel tullly@cfiesler it led me to use one of the migration tools and actually get the mastodon app on my phone. Good job guys 🫠

@cfiesler @mastodonusercount the old “measuring the quantity changes the quantity” scientific phenomenon rears its head on Elon’s stop loss attempts 😂
@cfiesler @mastodonusercount Hey I’m one of those data points!
Kat@cfiesler Eventually I’ll be moved off of Twitter. My goal is by my birthday.
