So glad I'm not only on Twitter now, what a terrible idea this is.

@warmapper I fully agree.

Terrible decision. Although on the short term, it will probably drive some folks to take that blue verified account.

@tonyvisualizes @warmapper more folks for me to block
@Catrathustra @warmapper not ALL verified users are bad πŸ˜‡πŸ˜‰
@tonyvisualizes @warmapper no way to tell so they all get blocked

@Catrathustra @warmapper I get you.

It is crazy that under every tweet you first have to dig through a pile of πŸ’© posts before you get to the non-verified replies that actually make some sense. πŸ˜…

@tonyvisualizes @Catrathustra @warmapper I think that's part of what he mean by "system manipulation". All these users auto blocking accounts after accounts, and because no free API access, this (and other use cases) is of course through "data scrapping".
@katiechan @tonyvisualizes @warmapper no he wants to extract money from the big companies that index Twitter content. As far as I can tell, no limit to the amount of blocking.
@Catrathustra @tonyvisualizes @warmapper There were that weird bug last few days your account is limited for 3 days cause of violations of the spam policy that seemed mainly happened to accounts that is blocking loads of blue checks or advertising accounts. Maybe it was just another bug, who knows these days.
@katiechan @tonyvisualizes @warmapper stupidity and malevolence have a very wide overlap

@warmapper and I'm glad you are here! I used to regularly check in on you, @defmon3, @warmonitor3 and @tendar to keep informed.

Keep up the great work!

@NovaNaturalist Thanks for the summary. Cant find a working account of Warmonitor3 though.
@HumanizeMobility Me likewise. There appear to be some non-functioning bots linked to warmonitor @uanews did include defmon3, wartranslated, warmonitor3, noelreports (and more) - but I guess this account no longer works thanks to the latest manuevres of free speech absolutist Elon Goebbels.
@warmapper lol, my last @IceCubesApp / #Mastodon timeline refresh had more than 600 new posts.
@warmapper good bye twitter. I won't pay to see more ads

@warmapper And if you don't have an account, you're blocked from reading anyone specific at all.

#ElonMusk is learning from #Putin on how to shoot his own foot.

@warmapper I will be deleting me account after following those who I want to here
@warmapper As a bonus, I've noticed an almost 100% reduction in posts with links back to #Twitter.
@warmapper The extra nice thing is the only way people experiencing problems will know if is they read this explanation somewhere other than twitter...

@warmapper

Drain, The, Circling

Build a sentence ....

@warmapper
Yup final nail in the coffin. Expect massive influx!
@warmapper Wonder where that idea came from. He just woke up thinking: I have a commercial service, I will now prevent people from using it
@warmapper this isn't an idea, this is just "I don't want to pay for people/infrastructure" also "I'm dumb and have too much money"
@warmapper And I'm glad my Twitter usage is at 0 posts/day.
@warmapper thanks for posting here where I can still see your updates
@warmapper Thanks for being here. I wish more made the effort so I could follow the war from here
@warmapper following you here too now
@warmapper again, and again, and again…
@warmapper Ah the big thing is missing is having a shared table round here in mastodon linking the twitter account handles to the mastodon ones.
It's such a pain in the neck for even thinking of migrating.😩
@warmapper it is. Musk bought Twitter because people like him, even if super rich, are easily bored. And now it's ruining it. Fuck him

@warmapper It'll be a pain to get used to Mastodon, especially when my other interests outside of the war is almost entirely in the bird app, but it's an even bigger pain to continue using Twitter at this rate.

Upside is not as many troll farms around tho.

@warmapper thanks that reminds me to delete that account
@warmapper too bad mastodon is a mess usability wise
FWIW, tweetdeck appears unaffected. Useful if, like me, you still want to read the thoughts of people who are not (yet) on the fediverse.

X (formerly Twitter)
@warmapper Thank you for cross posting!
@warmapper If I like something, it unlikes when I retweet.
All my tweets are mysteriously in Drafts as 'Failed to send'.
I can't even send a tweet to complain that I can't send tweets.
And I'm getting more ads than tweets in the past week.
I'm finally done with Twitter.
@warmapper Billionaires are rather good at ruining systems which would function well without them.
@warmapper... And next step will be to complain that ad revenue is down. Big shock if you limit yourself how many ads your users can view.
@davidjanssens I use AdBlock on Twitter πŸ‘€
@warmapper πŸ€” Elon Musk pants ... fire imho
