> He didn't link to his mastodon at all, did he?
Very indirectly. He mentioned that his mastodon handle was at his site, which was linked in his twitter bio, and had said handle as the first line (excluding sidebars); only the handle, no links at all, but it's trivial to construct the link given that piece of information.

- marcinzm 4y agoThey are specifically trying to block whatever is annoying Elon at this particular second. Clearly PG's tweet annoyed Elon and that is the only thing that matters.
- wilg 4y agoI like that a "link" is now just information that another webpage exists.

- meepmorp 4y agoYes, but given the information in pg's comment, you could easily reconstruct the string "follow me @username on Instagram," which is very clearly a violation of the policy.
- hackerlight 4y agoIn the doxxing affair, Elon said any indirect links count as direct links because it's effectively the same thing and it's an attempt to do ban evasion. I assume he has the same mindset/rationale here.
