Remember when Elon made up the “unregretted user minutes” KPI? I wonder how that’s working out today.
Took me about 5 minutes to hit the 600 post limit Elon imposed.
Twitter permanently suspended @taylorlorenz tonight apparently because she’s reporting on Elon Musk https://taylorlorenz.substack.com/p/elon-musk-banned-me-from-twitter
Elon Musk banned me from Twitter

Twitter is now blocking Mastodon links from being shared.
My Twitter account has been suspended. I’ve received no explanation.
This is such an obvious point but it is so funny to me that Elon's free-speech crusade on Twitter lasted all of six weeks before he started indiscriminately banning reporters. Like what an all-time hilarious business story
It feels like Mastodon is one really great third-party client away from being mainstream-ready, on the UX front at least.
The same thing happened with Twitter years ago: Third-party apps like DestroyTwitter, Tweetie (which became Twitter for iPhone), and Tweetbot helped redefine the mainstream UX of the service, in a hugely positive way. (Until Twitter shut a lot of them down, anyway, but that’s a different story…)
Twitter was special. But it's time to leave

Tweets were always short-lived. Turns out Twitter was too.

Toot, toot. Everything is terrible and on fire. Toot!
In case everyone is wondering what the hell is going on
