Drew HarwellJust realized it's now been two months since I was locked out of Twitter for factual reporting. I could delete the (non-rule-breaking) tweet and go back but, to be honest, I just don't feel any real desire to. It's a social network built for one, and not a place where you can trust that real reporting won't be punished on a whim. Every tweet supports a place that's hostile to what we do. Why enable that?
And not to be a weird brown-noser but if you care about technology news there is a giant, very smart and engaged group of people here on Mastodon talking about those things, which (besides shameless self-promotion) was mostly all I ever used Twitter for. I'm finding the conversations here super interesting and not so prone to pointless turf wars, which undermines one of the few reasons for going back.
Justin Ling🆒️@drewharwell I did delete my offending tweet (because it was a link to a Musk jet tracker that doesn't work anymore anyway) but my desire to be on the platform has almost disappeared since then. I'm frankly kind of amazed that so many fellow journalists are still using it like nothing has changed.
mʕ•ﻌ•ʔm bitPickup@bitpickup @drewharwell nah. The first thing I did when I got my account back was post a link to ADSB-Exchange and publish this: https://www.wired.com/story/elon-musk-elonjet-flight-tracker-transparency/
