Twitter is blocking me from posting a link to my mastodon. If I try to post the link, it says:

"We can't complete this request because this link has been identified by Twitter or our partners as potentially harmful"

*Censorship* is harmful. This is an attack on my free speech.

I originally posted this on twitter: twitter.com/n4of7/status/15173

I have now identified Twitter as potentially harmful.

@libreleah potentially harmful to Twitter’s bottom line 😂

Chris Trottier

@libreleah It goes both ways. If they don't want your speech, you can take your speech elsewhere.

DELETED

@atomicpoet @libreleah I think the only justifiable speech on Twitter is to boost FLOSS plataforms.

While there is *NO* good use to Facebook (and subsidiaries). Shaming users is justified.

Chris Trottier

@olamundo @libreleah Yep, I've been Meta-free for almost four years. I've had an immediate quality of life improvement, as I found all their apps to have a negative effect on my personal life. The only thing I miss is Instagram, but that's why I'm now running a Pixelfed instance.

DELETED

@atomicpoet @libreleah What is your insance? If you want to say it, of course.

I find that federation at Pixelfed is still not great - hard to see what people post from other instances.

Still, I am a big supporter of the project as a way to supplant that spionage bullshit.

Chris Trottier

@olamundo @libreleah The instance is peerverse.space. Registrations are currently closed as I continue to test, and figure out things like SMTP and customized CSS. I agree that federation isn't great, but I've still managed to get better engagement than when I had an Instagram account. See this blog post: blog.peerverse.space/my-pixelf

@atomicpoet @libreleah

Crying generic oppression because some company doesn't want them taking up space on their servers is so strange.

It being a public company doesn't mean God has personally given everyone the right to use it.

@libreleah they're supposedly making their own fake gay federated thing so they don't want anyone to know about fedi

@libreleah it expands to "Harmful for our actionists' proffits."

@libreleah i got the same from fb for posting a link from enoughisenough14 about anti-fascist actions in Ukraine.

@libreleah Twitter regularly flags links to Fedi servers as spam. It used to do the same thing with sealion.club.

@libreleah Confirms that Twitter is a big pile of bullshit.
You know, I will celebrate when Elon Musk takes over Twitter. Just because those people who are responsible now for this mess, get the boot

@libreleah I couldn't post a Mastofon Link on LinedIN either 🤷🏼‍♀️

@libreleah
This happened to me, too. More than once.

Tribbick

@libreleah I knew this shit was going to happen so I set up some redirects. blazeorange.ninja/masto/@libre should point to your account. Unfortunately I need to make a new redirect for each instance

JustmeP

@libreleah nothing new with twitter; hopefully Elon can change this

DELETED

@libreleah well that’s crazy. Posting a link that directs us to another platform should not be wrong. In fact we do that everyday. To news agency, YouTube and stuff. #twitter is crazy. My advice for you is to delete twitter. #freespeech #free #speech #freedom #mastodon

SolopreneurJouney

@libreleah They can't even SMS verification codes properly

CSDUMMI✝️🕊️🏛️

@libreleah use a short url service to redirect to your mastodon. I doubt they are following the links before you post them.

logan

@libreleah@mas.to funny thing is , they can't even do this with my link because it's already posted 😆 and it's pinned to the top of my account.

they would have to ban
🤷 which would be pointless anyways because i'm leaving on September the first.

Julie Hodgson :verified:

@libreleah not surprising though..Twitter is an evil entity

James Richardson

@libreleah yeah, time to leave Twitter if you haven't already. I'm guessing it sees that link as a shortened URL and that's why it is being blocked? Still BS.

DELETED

@jamesrichardson @libreleah Good point, James. I was also wondering if it’s not to what you link, but how you link. Always nice to read a sensible comment in between the usual drivel.

potatoxel
@libreleah o: well copy da link to ur profile from someone elses instance prob woulf work.

@libreleah twitter *is* harmful and you shouldn't be using it
Larsenist :arch: :rust:

@libreleah could I be because whois gets a 500 error due to SSL negotiation? They also say the domain is for sale

@libreleah Twitter trying to keep people from flocking to mastodon :mastodon: :searx: :tor:

@libreleah Try using a shortener to mask mastodon links.

Robert "Szkodnix"

@libreleah Oh no! Your link contains unusual domain! It must be a spam!

...I love those automatic algorithms...

Roh 👻

@libreleah imagine twitter joining fediverse, that would be awesome. Or maybe most hated instance?

twitter doing twitter things..

> *Censorship* is harmful. This is an attack on my free speech.

twitter is a private business, not speakers corner. talking about twitter like it is some kind of commons is just cementing it as something more than a website full of bad takes and groupthink.

your free speech is your own instance! :)
