Yeah, it's his platform. That's why we left.

@micahflee @drewharwell @MattBinder @w7voa @tony

Why stay on that junk social media platform? It's not worth it. Let it crumble like MyPillow. Don't give Elon the satisfaction of appeasement. He's desperate for attention.

@micahflee @drewharwell @MattBinder @w7voa @tony Great article. Thanks for the insight.

(How’d you get the embedded Mastodon post to show up without the scrollbar? That’s nifty. I gotta look at that embed code closer …)

@micahflee @drewharwell @MattBinder @w7voa @tony

So why go back? It's his private company now, and he's jerking you around.

I left. Finding it much better here.

@micahflee @drewharwell @MattBinder @w7voa @tony

All the more reason to spread the word of Mastodon. If you know of anyone that needs just AN instance to get into Mastodon this link is good for the next 5 people https://s.thecybernetwork.us/invite/FvWbymKA

'When people visit my Twitter profile, it no longer says “account suspended,” and it looks as if I’m back on the platform. Friends and strangers alike have reached out to me saying it’s good to see that I’m back on Twitter. It’s an illusion.'

If someone reading this is still active in the aviary of evil, they should warn these people about this deceit by their trustworthy car salesman. The journalists themselves can't do that anymore.

@micahflee

People gave #twitter power. Verified accounts and others helped attract other.

Now #ElonMusk is in a powerful position, right or wrong.

We take away power from Twitter and musk! Hate to tell you, but Twitter is at the point of no return. If you don't interact, read responses to the info yoh post, yanknow, keel your head in the sand, it's all fine and dandy. But if you look at all the hate after you post, then you'll see how Twitter is dead!

Musk is playing the game of,I control you. I’ll tell you what I like. Don’t be dictated what you write,you delete the tweets he wants,wouldn’t this be censoring you. This reminds me of the similar setup in Communist China.

@micahflee @drewharwell @MattBinder @w7voa @tony

LEAVE. TWITTER. ENTIRELY. Not just you, your entire organization. All news organizations.

You guys (journalists) made it a place to go for news. You can unmake it.

@micahflee @drewharwell @MattBinder @w7voa @tony

Why do y’all want to go back? Not a rhetorical question. If the answer is “that’s where my audience is” then he is holding them hostage.

Big Journalism mustered a few pathetic protests to Musk's control freakery with reporters' accounts, but maintained business as usual on the birdsite.

In other words, Musk is winning his campaign against freedom of expression that he dislikes.

You'd imagine that the journalism business would take genuine action -- eg leaving Twitter -- to demonstrate a backbone, and help preserve press freedom. You would be wrong, sadly.
