Chad LoderI am a citizen journalist. Elon personally banned me from Twitter. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1615748582145150978
Corey Quinn@chadloder Clearly you did the "wrong" kind of journalism and it displeased this district's feudal lord...
Stefan Dembowski
Eric Dannewitz@chadloder Congrats!
SocialistStan@chadloder Being personally banned by Musky gives you more credibility with me š¤·āāļø at least.
Jay š@chadloder I would love to hear Elon try to explain what he means when he says ācitizen journalismā
Meg@jsit @chadloder citizen journalism is done by people who would stand in line and pay money to drink Elonās urine, of course.
Old Man Mike
Phillip Hallam-Baker@jsit @chadloder Empirically, when SpaceElmo says 'citizen journalism', he actually means 'right wing kooks, many of whom are working for Russian on account of being pedophiles kompromized in operations like the one Maria Butina was caught running on NRA members'.
Urban Hermit@jsit @chadloder citizen journalism is said by people that don't understand that real journalism is a profession, with ethical standards, and people get paid or fired and blacklisted based on their reputation. Journalism is not a job for part time amateurs, and quoting a part time amateur is equivalent to quoting some guy with an opinion who is also making up some facts that no one is checking.
@Urban_Hermit @jsit It is absurd to claim that citizen journalists lack ethical standards. It is even more absurd and ignorant to claim that professional journalists stand to risk more than citizen journalists if they get a story wrong.
Nicole Parsons@Urban_Hermit @jsit @chadloder
Do you mean Matt Taibbi, Bari Weiss, Glenn Greenwald, and Maggie Haberman are "ethical professionals" and not hagiographers for the vile?
@Urban_Hermit @jsit @chadloder
Access journalism isn't journalism. It public relations.

@jsit @chadloder When I came back to the machine, I misread this as "I would love to hear Elon try to explain what he means when he says ācitizen cannibalismā.
I had been reading about the latest George Santos news.
Atz@jsit @chadloder
When he uses a word it means just what he chooses it to mean. Neither more nor less.

Another Elon stan account?
Elon Musk mendaciously obfuscates like every other corporate overlord and anti-democracy Republican.
@Npars01 @jsit @chadloder
Oh, no. no no no no.
I was referencing Humpty Dumpty in _Through the Looking Glass_ where he uses words in ways that confuse Alice. That was Humpty's response when Alice objected to how he used a word that meant something different.
@jsit @chadloder something something epic something something catturd something work agenda something something my family hates me š¤£
Bullwong@chadloder Elon: We want citizen journalism
Elon: Not like that
Elon: Not like that
Bobby@chadloder I can't believe that statement is true
violet hands@chadloder great example of him reciting a vague truth in a context that implies he has the solution when he is in fact the problem.
Darryl Anderson@chadloder
Lol, he's replying to a scamcoin account.

KanaMaunaš The dude is so lacking in self-awareness that he can't figure out that he is the #1 slot "Media" that he is warning about.
ridzqie@chadloder i think the reason they blocked API on several third party apps because they wanted to put twitter at #1 app on appstore. Those who still need twitter will get the worse app just to connect.
50sFarmGirl šØš¦@chadloder It's only freedom if it is EM freedom!
@chadloder Kept hitting more and more banned so just moving on. Seems only the right wingers are allowed in TruthTwitter now.
Agora@chadloder I donāt understand what the f*ck is wrong with people who praise the a$$hole from apartheid South Africa š¤¬š¤¬š¤¬
naught101Twitter is the number one news app... because all the other twitter clients were intentionally broken.
Anti. š@chadloder Also, a very "classy" move. First switch off the API, so second-party apps no longer work, and then second, brag about how the twatter app is now #1 in app stores. Which sadly also means, people are still not leaving.
GonZ@chadloder
But you're not HIS citizen journalist. That's the only type also allowed

Melissa@chadloder Every single Nazi and fascist has been reinstatedā¦what exactly does twitter say you have done to deserve a ban?
JD@chadloder only those who donāt criticize Dear Leader
@chadloder thatās because Elon Musk is a disingenuous cunt
@oldmanmike @chadloder good description šš»
@jag0325 @chadloder no need to sugar coat it
GATEKEEPER@chadloder
If you Cross tweet here you Will be blocked...have fun.

Salome The Fella@chadloder and this is why I am gonna read everything you write!
imbou@chadloder why the hell is it a news app?!?!
ā¹ļøā¤ļøš„ aka Compy-chan@chadloder the replies to that post are such cringe
Arclight@chadloder Well, you're clearly not the 'right' kind of citizen journalist. Probably not even the 'right' kind of Chad... ;)
Stefan Scholl@chadloder banning other apps and then celebrating being #1 in the downloads. Thatās some cold war USSR level propaganda.
@chadloder
I just now created a Mastodon account because I just saw a screenshot of this post on Twitter. Iāve been on the fence about joining this platform for a while now, but I guess enough is enough with that bird app and that billionaire troll whoās running it. Good to see you again! Keep up the good troubleā

otto@chadloder MuskmElon could not be the genius they say he is. Anyone who looks in the mirror and sees only god is missing a big chunk of brain.
