Twitter is blocking links to Mastodon
- minimaxir 4y agoThis case is weird and doesn't follow the journalist bans, unless the reason Elon is blocking links to Mastodon is just to block access to ElonJet by any means possible.

- cldellow 4y agoIt's not just that Twitter has banned the @joinmastodon account on Twitter, or banned links to the ElonJet account at https://mastodon.social/@elonjet https://mastodon.social/@elonjet, or banned links to https://mastodon.social https://mastodon.social in general. It's banning many Mastodon servers. For example, I am unable to link to my own profile at https://hachyderm.io/@cldellow https://hachyderm.io/@cldellow. My profile doesn't link to or follow the ElonJet account. Why is my profile banned? And like, cool, his sandbox, his rules. But yeah, it seems a little... non free-speechy.

- grappler 4y agoThere is now no good use for twitter other than steering people off of twitter. The fediverse is where microblogging should happen now. We should collectively turn our backs on twitter. Twitter needs to collapse into nothing.
