Twitter also suspended mastodon's account. Can you really say twitter, when its clearly Musk who's doing this? I really hope Mastodon will get some momentum now. (at its peak it was around 2000 per hour) https://bitcoinhackers.org/@mastodonusercount https://bitcoinhackers.org/@mastodonusercount

Apperantly he is banning journalists who are reporting on other journalists getting banned? https://twitter.com/WillOremus/status/1603557341730902018 https://twitter.com/WillOremus/status/1603557341730902018

  I think it’s about journalists trying to keep the live location thing going which Twitter tos was updated to ban (reporting someone’s live location on Twitter is considered doxing)

    This might be the first post in this thread stating the alleged actual reason for the bans: they posted screenshots of the location tracking or linked to the Mastodon tracker account, breaking the rule against sharing real-time locations. That's the claim at least. Also, Musk states that these bans are not permanent and the accounts will be reinstated: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1603591994244071424 https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1603591994244071424 He also posted a poll on the suspension time: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1603609466301059073 https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1603609466301059073

      supposedly some of them only reported the LAPD statement saying no police report had been filed for the alleged stalking incident

Also, twitter does not allow posting links to mastodon instances anymore. Or at least to mastodon.social.

  Many instances, even small ones > Lol how is the Android Dev server even remotely "potentially harmful"? What a joke. https://androiddev.social/users/MishaalRahman/statuses/109521147826509042 https://androiddev.social/users/MishaalRahman/statuses/10952...

Twitter is Musk now. Since he wants 100% of the credit he deserves 100% of the blame, even if it was mostly other people’s money. He reminds me of Trump circa 1992.
