10. What was missing from @[email protected]'s defense of Musk, and Musk's own position is CONTEXT.

Musk says he's for free speech but when people are saying things he doesn't like, he tries to shut them up.

We saw this a few weeks ago with the Musk parody accounts

Does Twitter blocking Mastodon links constitute anticompetitive behavior against a nascent rival? I asked a couple of legal experts, including Bill Baer, the former antitrust chief at DOJ and FTC in two US administrations. Here's what they say: https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/16/tech/mastodon-twitter-links/index.html

Every news outlet should stand up a Mastondon instance for their reporters & staff.

It’ll be great to see [email protected] or whatever domain they want to use.

Built in verification. Every reporter for the Washington Post on a washpo domain. Every reporter for the New York Times on an NYTimes domain. Etc, etc.

Plus the “local” feed for each instance becomes a feed of all the posts from that institution mixed together — providing extra discovery.

Fellow library workers -- please pass around word about @libraryland.social - a Mastodon instance set up for public librarians, academic librarians, school librarians, archivists and other library workers to share ideas, inspirations, questions, announcements and the like. If you're looking for a new home to move to after landing at mastodon.social -- that might be your new home.

Musk himself has:
- Spread Covid misinformation
- Called safety precautions “fascist”
- Forced his own workers back to work forcibly infecting hundreds of them
- Fired employees w/ Covid for taking sick days
- Cast doubt on vaccines
- Dismissed mass death of over a million people saying, “everybody dies” https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/11/29/twitter-covid-misinformation-policy/ #covid #musk #twitter #twittermigration #journalist #technology #tech #technews
Twitter ends its ban on covid misinformation

The rollback of Twitter’s covid misinformation policy is just the latest pivot since Elon Musk took control of the company a month ago.

We can’t minimize Trump’s dinner with antisemite and holocaust denier Nick Fuentes and the refusal of leading Republicans to speak out against this. While none of this is surprising, it’s the latest sign that if Trump is not held criminally accountable and ends up as the GOP candidate, he will drive America to the bottom and seek vengeance against all enemies, real and imagined. Silence is complicity.
