Ken WhiteI’ve noticed when I drop a link in a post here it doesn’t show a preview of the post/site/etc I am linking to. Is that a setting someplace?
@Popehat I'm hearing some people speculating this could get FTC involved on anti-trust violations, is there any merit in that at all?
Can’t help but notice that when Twitter banned cross-linking certain social media sites it didn’t include Gab, Gettr, or Parler.
rjgnyc@Popehat but did include Truth Social, which makes that decision even funnier.
Drew HarwellMy colleague @taylorlorenz is suspended after seeking comment. I'm still blocked from using Twitter until I delete a tweet that's a piece of reporting.
Ryan Schultz#JohnMastodon is proof that things *CAN* go viral here on Mastodon, but the key is that *YOU* are the algorithm. The reason that the John Mastodon meme showed up on other people's timelines is because so many users boosted the posts.
The lesson here is: please don't just favourite something if you really enjoyed it; BOOST it so that other people can enjoy it, too! This is the only reason why I bother to create as large a social graph as I can on Mastodon—to act as an amplifier. You can, too!❤️😉
PwnallthethingsTwitter formalizes blocking of accounts and tweets that encourage readers to follow you on other social media sites, including Mastodon.
Specific examples of violating tweets given in the policy:
> “follow me @username on Instagram”

Mike Masnick ✅Lol. Musk is seeing the exodus, so he's trying to bar the doors as everyone rushes for the exits.
No more linking to other social networks or sharing your username.
Such free speech.
