Vigilante mastodon tooter.
The boat in my banner is not mine.
Musk blamed a Twitter account for an alleged stalker. Police see no link.

The incident last week underscored how Elon Musk’s personal concerns can influence his governance of a social media platform used by hundreds of millions of people.

#Mastodon is a wonderful place!

The sharing of ideas and opinions is at the core of this media.

The other day, one person boosted one of my posts while having 0 followers. Thanks for that!

The fact of boosting shows that the post affected you much more, than if you had just liked it.

I want to thank all everyone who boosts posts. Without boosts, my timeline would be much less awesome!

#boost #like #thanks

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!

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.

Twitter 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”

> “[email protected]

Snort:
New Twitter policy bans links out to several social sites. Deeper into the actual policy, also bans on link aggregators. It’s stupid on its face, but it also kills what makes the site go. These people are so inept.

"You see, Elon is a free speech absolutist!"

[like 2 months later]

TWITTER: IT IS NOW AGAINST THE RULES TO POST LINKS TO FACEBOOK OR MASTODON. THESE ARE THE NEW FREE SPEECH RULES.

Fun fact: It was Giovanni Mastodoni, John’s great-great-grandfather, who first came to America with dreams of decentralized publishing.
