For the SF Chronicle, I wrote about getting canceled from #twitter (& switching to Mastodon):

It’s an honor to get canceled by Musk, who is welcoming neo-Nazis back to Twitter while banning reporters. Still, it’s admittedly terrifying to see him cross the bright red line of declaring outright war against freedom of the press.

Twitter has become a virtual simulation of authoritarian rule.

I got myself banned from Elon Musk’s Twitter. Why you should, too

Next thing you know, it will be against the rules to mention Tesla’s stock price, criticize the Republican Party or link to stories in legitimate news outlets. We can’t enable this.

@gilduran It's true. Flagging this for the trendsetter @ejwillingham who wrote a similar story after intentionally being banned Nov 9! https://medium.com/@EmilyJaneWillingham/why-i-pretended-to-be-elon-musk-on-twitter-a2aa5da5b7f0

If you followed me on Twitter, you can go to my former profile and find that I’m no longer @ejwillingham, where I have spent the last 13 years (I joined in September of 2009).
