Elon Musk is Still Silencing the Journalists he Banned from Twitter.

It looks like our accounts have been reinstated, but it's an illusion: We're actually locked out and can't post anything without deleting specific tweets the billionaire doesn't like.

This latest article embeds a Mastodon post and links to posts by @drewharwell @MattBinder @w7voa and @tony

Protecting yourself from #COVID19 isn't just the right thing to do for you and the people you love. It's also a good thing to do for the economy.

Twitter is now suspending accounts that link to Facebook, Instagram, Mastodon, Truth Social, Tribel, Post, and Nostr, and link aggregators like Linktree.

1. Hilarious.

2. Only a TOTAL SELFISH IDIOT foists such a policy on their people during the holiday season.

3. This is the move of someone who is very scared.

A VERY good question:

"Twitter’s potential collapse could wipe out vast records of recent human history

What happens when the world’s knowledge is held in a quasi-public square owned by a private company that could soon go out of business?"

It doesn't matter what cool features a hosted community software platform has if you can't easily switch to a different platform whenever you want.

Too many community builders choose to lose their history and beg people to register again. If you want to build 10, 20, 30 year communities, you have to treat your members and their data with as much respect as you want them to treat you.
