New: Elon Musk’s X is throttling traffic to news websites and competitors he dislikes. Five-second delays on links to New York Times, Reuters, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, Bluesky and Substack. Most other sites we tested have zero delay https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/08/15/twitter-x-links-delayed/ @jeremybmerrill

@drewharwell @jeremybmerrill ElonJet also posts on Telegram, Nostr, and (*sigh* guess you gotta cover all the bases), TruthSocial.
