Gregory's ServerWOW. Elon Musk's Twitter straight-up banned the account for Mastodon. Just, wow.
 
[DATA EXPUNGED]
Yesterday it was public ADS-B data because it's considered "doxxing" (Later on posting a license plate asking for people to identify it ๐) Today it's banning any other platforms from having an account on Twitter. I wonder which part of the policy he's created (in his shallow egotistical mind) for this to be allowed. Free speech eh?  @GeeksLoveDetail @gamingonlinux @stux I believe stux deleted his account. When you deactivate your account, it says "This account doesn't exist." @peterbutler @gamingonlinux @stux yeah, he did now. Before that stux had shared that it had temporarily gotten suspended. @gamingonlinux and I have banned the blue bird from my live :ablobcool: Mastodon is a such more friendly site :mastogrin: @gamingonlinux This should be enough for most people to never want to go back. @gamingonlinux This happened earlier, because joinmastodon.com really was a spamming site, the original site is .org. Then the .com was given to .org, now both are ok, but Twitter still bans it. So this seems not to be a typical Musk move, as far as I read somewhere. @aus_der_UBahn @gamingonlinux No, this is new, the last archive prior to today has it unsuspended https://web.archive.org/web/20221211201332/https://twitter.com/joinmastodon The domain thing is something else.  @gamingonlinux I think, he is in full rage mode now. Bad press? He doesnโt care anymore. After his prosecute/Fauci and other extrem right-wing tweets, he thinks banning Mastodonโs promo account will have even less public effect on him. @frumble @gamingonlinux it may also be personal as this was the last tweet https://twitter.com/joinmastodon/status/1603415403853651973  @frumble @gamingonlinux I was thinking about this earlier--who does he thinks buys cars from his other company? I'm betting it's not far right wingers he's cozying up with. I bet it's the people he's pissing off who are now fleeing his new toy. I hope this whole shit show ends up biting him in the ass. @Jennifer_Pinkley @frumble @gamingonlinux I can't see red hats buying electric cars, for sure @Livelaughlovecraft In 5 years they will buy one from ford or gmc and pretend they were never against them. I saw it with the Internet and cell phones. Typical conservative behavior. @Jennifer_Pinkley @gamingonlinux Recent survey in Germany: ยป47 percent of car enthusiasts surveyed said Musk's current behavior has "definitely negatively" affected their opinion of #Tesla.ยซ ๐ฟ @Jennifer_Pinkley @frumble @gamingonlinux looking at Tesla stock YTD its down almost 61% lol Id love to see how many advertisers are leaving Twitter rn too ๐ @KSwaggedt @frumble @gamingonlinux I read that he's considering making personalized ads and location tracking mandatory. That will go over well. @Jennifer_Pinkley @frumble @gamingonlinux people think he is smart. Buying Twitter is such a dumb thing to do for him. He is very opinionated and will piss people off. He is also very right leaning and loves to spread conspiracy theories every now and then. How can that and owning Twitter go well. Tesla is going to hell and the brand is impacted by him. I think this story doesn't have a happy ending for that guy. @Jennifer_Pinkley @frumble @gamingonlinux I know that once upon a time I wanted a Tesla, but for several years now I've known I could never buy one because of him. @frumble @gamingonlinux it wasnt even his tweets, my feed and supposedly many other people were having their feeds unindated with right-wing or GOP politicians/pundits while other things like for me Ukraine war were nowhere to be found until I went to the specific accounts I followed. Come to find out they do shadowbans, ghost search ban and a few other behind the scenes and all those accounts had one or all when using a tool that tells you that info. Its crazy @gamingonlinux Musk is feeling like Mastodon is a threat. They're must be more going on in Twitland than we're seeing. @hackersquirrel @gamingonlinux I am so tempted to go back there and start randomly posting Power Rangers images to mess with them.  @gamingonlinux @donmelton is it really surprising that twitterโs owner is so shallow that he canโt have anything that could slightly hurt his fragile ego? @gamingonlinux holy smokes!!! Did Twitter JUST Ban a competitor from their own platform. talk about Killing the competition's outreach. @gamingonlinux Nothing that this pathetic narcissistic loser does surprises or shocks me any more ... @GretaCrown @gamingonlinux was that sarcasm? He never was. There is no definition of "only when it suits one" in free speech definition. The only thing is that people were still hoping it could somehow improve the previous version, as well as some relevant data coming to light. sounds like it was related to the account tweeting about following the elonjet info on mastodon
#^https://web.archive.org/web/20221215173935/https://twitter.com/joinmastodon From what it seems, this is likely related to the Elon Jet following account that was banned on Twitter and then went to Mastodon ๐ because they mentioned it. This is the account Elon said previously he wouldn't ban, then did and so banned Mastodon because they mentioned it - educated guess here. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/dec/14/twitter-elon-musk-private-jet-account-suspended  Just missing a HuffPost comment and Fediverse-banned sites saying he can't get 'em all. @child.weddings @corruption @skived.hsm @seniorIntubationFarmsLLC here they goooo @gamingonlinux he's a "14yr old forum admin on a power trip" is becoming way too accurate....  @gamingonlinux yup. Which finally prompted me to post my "goodbye" message to my account. Took several tries, though, because even having "mastodon.social" โ as us or part of a URL โ resulted in post being blocked. Had to change to "mastodon-dot-social" to get the point across. Surprised I was able to update my profile to include my Mastodon account info. @ferricoxide @gamingonlinux no surprise and it may even be ghost banned or one of the other hidden ways they are silencing people @KSwaggedt @gamingonlinux Fortunately, I was never a clout chaser โ doing periodic follower-prunings to get rid of bots and people that never interacted โ so, my "reach" was already tiny. Shadow banning would do very little. :) @gamingonlinux Honestly waiting for twitter to explode from within now. Elon is like Vince Russo when he joined WCW, it almost time for Twitter to face the same fate.  @gamingonlinux Maybe the mastodon should have posted more right wing conspiracy theories not to get banned @gamingonlinux surprising, yet not surprising at the same time. Important context:
#^https://twitter.com/alx/status/1603158113229619200 Realtime reporting of someone's location is considered doxing, delayed reporting is not. @gamingonlinux pretty sad, seems Elon takes it all personally and cannot deal with the fact that there are other options and opinions besides his own.   @gamingonlinux melon tusk is a coward and he's losing his mind. <popcorn.gif> @gamingonlinux Elmo is so thin skinned lately. @gamingonlinux proves he's a dumbass. a real nitwit. @gamingonlinux Musk is such a fucking hypocrite. He should be mocked and shamed at every opportunity.  @Nican @gamingonlinux This is BS. A link to a link to a link is not allowed? That's even assuming they linked it. Was it just a mention? @gamingonlinux can you find who it was that said something about the server suggestion page for "join mastodon" was borked? I was trying to suggest #pixelfed since they offer servers by region, and some are almost empty. yeah it's easy to join a big server with only a dozen other people, then federate here @gamingonlinux to be honest I didn't even know there was a joinmastodon account...but that's pretty funny @gamingonlinux Once agian, Elon proves "HIS VERSION OF FREE SPEECH ABSOLUTISM" is only a version of "FREE SPEECH ABSOLUTISM" that benefits HIM DIRECTLY. ELON, THAT IS NOT WHAT ABSOLUTISM MEANS. WE WILL TRACK YOU FOREVER. @gamingonlinux We should go ahead and ban twitter & musk from any mastodon server! Oh wait ... @gamingonlinux LOL. @gamingonlinux he and Thiel donโt want people freely communicating for their own benefit. If they canโt control it, they want to squash it. @gamingonlinux man it'd be a shame if this made it to the front page of Reddit
https://www.reddit.com/r/Mastodon/comments/zn00i4/apparently_twitter_just_suspended_the/ @gamingonlinux if mastodon tries to raise a fund to fight an anti-trust lawsuit, I would gladly donate towards the cause. @gamingonlinux @mmasnick Iโm enjoying watching his fanboys tie themselves in knots every time he does something like this to say WELL ACTUALLY this is perfectly consistent with his free speech policy. @mmasnick @dirkhh @Popehat @gamingonlinux I need one that says "monumentally stupid"  @gamingonlinux Yeah, a number of us are trying to get the #joinmastodon hashtag trending. Just because. ;)   @gamingonlinux for a second I thought it was called John Mastodon, fuck it, they should make a new account with the name John Mastodon  @gamingonlinux Kind of not surprising though, is it? Like, completely par for the course. I have noticed some captive portals blocking mastodon.social since the birdsite transition too. Claiming some BS I should have screenshotted. The powers that be really don't want competition AFAICT. Controlling a narrative is at least as old as Hearst, arguably, much older. I guess we all get to see how the non consensually red teaming goes against a distributed decentralized FediVerse in the process?  @gamingonlinux Lmao, doesn't inspire confidence to watch them go on about bringing back free speech just to ban the accounts of competing social media sites and flag tweets from users who mention them. ๐ @gamingonlinux what the hell?? Way to go "free speech absolutist." Having one man in charge of a global communication tool is working out SO WELL. Just wow. @gamingonlinux Iโm sure heโll make another tortured masturbation pun because he canโt even think up the obvious โMastoDonโtโ  @gamingonlinux small man syndrome. Would he do this for all alternative social medias or what the alternative that specifically Mastodon provides @gamingonlinux Who knew, Elon wasnโt really pro free speech all along. Bari Weiss must be so sad. @gamingonlinux dude seems to be Uber sensitive lately. Him being boed and having to sell another billion to keep twitter afloat. @gamingonlinux Are we really surprised by this? This is what "free speech" really means. I want you to have to listen to me and everything I say, but you yourself don't have the right to speak. @gamingonlinux #ElonMusk also did not hesitate using #doxxing to eliminate someone he saw as an enemy (the guy who supposedly jumped on his bonnet. All #Elon fans started searching the guy's number plate to chase him down). As for the last minute changes to #twitter policies about #location tracking & the possibility #birdsite will enforce #locationsharing, do remove your #mobile number from the site while you can!๐จ  @gamingonlinux The tighter he clenches his fist, the more star systems will slip through his fingers @gamingonlinux also starting the ban massive blue chip accounts like @atrupar for no reason  @gamingonlinux I've said it once, and I'll say it again: capitalism needs regulation. |
