My latest for WIRED: The Mastodon features Elon Musk should steal but won't because he hates you

https://www.wired.com/story/mastodon-features-that-twitter-should-steal-but-wont/

Posting this here tonight for you all. Will post on Twitter tomorrow. We'll see if I have a Twitter account still on Tuesday. #TwitterMigration #MastodonMigration

Mastodon Features That Twitter Should Steal (but Won’t)

Elon Musk's platform could learn a thing or two from its most popular alternative—like how to build a social platform people actually want to be on.

LOLOLOL. Like 12 hours later, Twitter’s “Promotion of Alternative Social Media Platform Policy” is just gone. Along with all the tweets from Twitter Support about it that had over 100k RTs. Without a word. Just like, oh maybe they’ll all just think they dreamed it. What an absolute circus. Anyway, welcome new folks. :) #twittermigration

Earlier today Elon Musk said that my ban was temporary, 45 min later he denied my appeal to reinstate my account and confirmed that I am *permanently* banned. The email I just received says the decision cannot be reversed.
I have never once violated Twitters rules or terms of service. I’ve never had a single tweet flagged, my account was permanently banned with no warning and with no reason, after I reached out to Musk for comment.

URGENT!!! Twitter is now BANNING all accounts that link to Mastodon. A mass purging of pro-democracy Twitter accounts appears imminent. Please consider BOOSTING this post and encourage everyone to follow us to help us build up this platform so we can continue to spread our pro-democracy messages. This is not a drill!

Great to hear Elon has banned links to notorious hate speech forum Facebook.com

So what is absolute madness about this policy from Twitter (which I'm sure the chief twit crafted himself) is that (a) I assume the point is to keep people from leaving Twitter and going to other platforms instead; and (b) I'm guessing that for many people, like me, this will be the final straw that causes them to officially leave Twitter.

I guess 'we did it' and Elon sees the danger of #Mastodon to his new #Twitter  

Only a scared man would act so childish and ban links to other socials haha!

Sorry but I cannot take the platform or it's staff serious anymore  Twitter has failed drastically with Elon at the steering wheel

Public Service Warning

Mastodon has a very big surge of new users right now. There's no way to tell if it will be sustained, but at this early point it looks similar to Nov 18 when Musk pulled the employee purge.

It is very challenging for system administration to accommodate so many new users. If your server starts to struggle, it is not broken and will get sorted out.

We're all in this together. It's our social network. Be patient. What we are building is amazing.
