I bet Elon is none too happy about Apple Messages getting rich previews for Mastodon links.

GOOD. 🎻

@gedeonm I’d love it if Apple removed the previews for Twitter.

This is so exciting!!!!

@gedeonm perhaps Apple getting ready for a massive Twitter exodus toward Mastodon.

@david_senate Would be nice but I doubt it. I’ll take this however.

@gedeonm unexpected and so awesome.

@gedeonm it’s still clunky but Twitter is getting clunkier. Keyboard needs to be in the mastodon app.

Jeez, guys, if you just had a dependable API...

@gedeonm Now Apple just needs to remove Twitter previews and Elon needs to do his part in ditching the legacy verification system so that all verified people flee the platform in fear of impersonation.

@gedeonm That doesn’t even hit his radar.
Show threadGed MaheuxFeb 17, 2023
@paymentologist You’re kidding, right? He banned all links to Mastodon for over a week. Then Tim Cook had a private meeting with him when there were *rumors* Apple would stop advertising on Twitter. This isn’t just on his radar, it’s in his hanger getting rinsed and waxed.

@gedeonm Not an apple user or a fan but anything against the narcissistic owner of the bird app is music to my ears

@gedeonm and I couldn't care less about Elon past current and future state of mind.
Show threadGed MaheuxFeb 17, 2023
@numericcitizen Yeah that mindset changed for me when he destroyed a giant portion of my company’s revenue and 15 years of hard work when he killed off 3rd party Twitter apps without warning. 🤷‍♂️

@gedeonm but I do care about your's.

@gedeonm meanwhile Apple’s social accounts and Tim Cook himself isn’t on Mastodon, so I think Elon is doing fine.

@gedeonm I saw that and it made me grin. Apple helping to make Twitter less relevant.
