I just mentioned to someone that I "saw it on mastodon" casually and it didn't feel more stupid than saying the word twitter so I think things are looking really good

#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!❤️😉

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.

@velobetty yeah they now classify the links as “potentially harmful.” It’s a shame to see a site I’ve used for 12 years get burned to the ground by a billionaire with a fragile ego. #twitter
@taylorlorenz clearly this is about protecting his family from assassins…
Elon has gone on damage control banning journalists. Any and everything related to me is banned. So much for free speech.
