@ParanoidFactoid @Gargron Or maybe someone who works for Elon Musk is pissed off about people migrating from Twitter to Mastodon and wants to force people to return to Twitter and reactivate their accounts there.
Show threadSteffen ChristensenJan 31, 2023
@ShingoMouse @ParanoidFactoid @Gargron I believe that would be illegal, although more likely it's a script kiddie engaging in some buggy code.
