Musk systematically punishes reporters on Twitter for coverage he doesn’t like. For this reason alone, no journalist should be on Twitter. https://journa.host/@w7voa/110228528322091511

"WIRED learned Wednesday afternoon that senior reporter Dell Cameron's Twitter account was permanently suspended after he reported on Matt Walsh's Twitter account being hacked. Neither Dell's story nor his Twitter feed contained hacked materials. We do not believe his account violated Twitter's policy....our attempts to reach Twitter's press office were met with the customary poop emoji. ..." - WIRED Managing Editor, Hemal Jhaveri

@JamesGleick

we noticed... several interesting discussions were destroyed because the accounts were suspended ... journalists and human rights crusaders just really saying the truth... I wonder what is a good alternative to Twitter

@Annevelink_AD @JamesGleick I’m not and haven’t pursued it. I’m not interested in another walled garden. They say it’s based on an “open” protocol, but so far I’ve only seen clients—and we’ve seen API rug-pulls before. https://github.com/bluesky-social/atproto-ecosystem

If they begin to have multiple independent server implementations (preferably federated), I’ll be interested.
