Yes, I am aware that normal people procrastinate from writing about law by making pies and not the other way around.
Can’t help but notice that when Twitter banned cross-linking certain social media sites it didn’t include Gab, Gettr, or Parler.
Mike DunfordGuess I'm here now.
I've been extremely online for the last 30 years, give or take. I've had one governing theory through that time: the site owner makes the site's rules, and if I don't like it, I leave.
I don't expect Twitter's "no linking to Mastodon, Post, whatever" policy to really stick. But it's now clear that Twitter is being run at the whims of a demented pissbaby. That's not for me. I'm keeping that account, and may ping something there enough to preserve it.
But I'll be preserving it against the hope that someone who isn't Musk acquires it before it dies entirely. Nothing more.
Ruben Bolling 🪲Things just seem so crazy today.
I mean, can you imagine say in the 1930s if the richest automobile executive in America was also a media owner who used his platform to encourage anti-Semitism and allied himself with a foreign dictator waging a territory-expansion war in Europe?

Mike Masnick ✅Talking to former Twitter trust & safety folks... and they note that *normally* under existing policy, accounts are supposed to get strikes for violating policy, not be immediately permabanned.
Remember how Elon said no content moderation policies have changed?
Well, I'd say... that's changed.
Interesting explanation from a decently large Twitter advertiser on why they've paused their ad budget on Twitter after keeping it running for the past couple of weeks. https://www.teamblind.com/post/i-told-my-team-to-pause-our-750kmonth-twitter-ads-budget-last-week-4dnbo1Ft
Tristan Louis7M people here. 400M on #twitter ... and yet it feels like we can move to the future. If #mastodon is to become a viable alternative, it needs to get newsmakers on here. So please encourage the larger users over there to come over here (or launch their own instance). With CBS checking out today, they should create their own instance in the #fediverse
Please boost if you agree
emptywheelGonna be an exciting Sunday to see whether the World Cup or the DMCA violations crash the birdsite first.
