Ask HN: Why Did Musk Ban Links to FB, Insta, Mastodon, Post, Nostr and LinkTree?
Looks like the @TwitterSupport tweet and help section announcing this have now been deleted, but I don't even really understand the thinking for the new policy and policy reversal.
- PaulHoule 4y agoTo get attention. It makes sure that he gets a story in Bloomberg Businessweek next week.
- Finnucane 4y agoBecause it appeared that he was suppressing mentions of Mastodon in tweets, so when that got noticed, there was suddenly a policy, then when the policy got widely mocked, suddenly there was no policy. Management genius at work.
