@gamingonlinux I've said it once, and I'll say it again: capitalism needs regulation.
BIG TIME.

@gamingonlinux as if I needed to have any more evidence I'm on the right social network.. yikes.

The Lord

@gamingonlinux Twitter needs to go for real. Here I am, Mastodon.

@gamingonlinux

Who cares about an anti-union, anti-democracy oligarch does or thinks about anything? I gave the bird to the Bird precisely to avoid being inundated with info about him. The only thing I want to read about him would be an obituary!

@gamingonlinux Elon, as the old movie poster read, “Be Afraid. Be Very Afraid.”

Deirdre

@gamingonlinux Looks like someone bought himself Twitter so he can have the final word - no matter what. I want to pull the plug there, but at the same time want to stay for the show.

sharpcdf

as expected from such a follower of free speech

Stpaulhawk

@gamingonlinux he's banning a ton of journalists right now too.

Andrew Engelson

@gamingonlinux Yeah it wouldn't let me mention Mastodon in my Twitter name. Bu-bye.

hrobak67NafoFella

@gamingonlinux I wrote Elon Elliot Carver Musk & Mastodon on Twitter => Kaboom 😂. No more Twitter for me!

DELETED

@gamingonlinux Like that’s gonna stop the bleeding!

TheHouse215

@gamingonlinux who cares, Johnny Mastodon should not be on Twitter fishing for more Twitter user trash

Steph

@gamingonlinux This seems to be a catalyst for me. I have requested a total archive of my twitter account...

Skip Intro

@gamingonlinux

Twitter has rapidly become a cesspool of right wing hatred, bigotry, misinformation, and disinformation.

I am unsurprised.

I was permabanned for calling out a rich white dude's lies.

I'm better for it.

Meow.tar.gz :verified:

@gamingonlinux This doesn't come as a surprise though. It was just a matter of time.

Drew Jennings

@gamingonlinux best advertising ever. It's why I just created an account and this is my first post

mechtild jd

@gamingonlinux

On CCN now. A number of CNN staff have been suspended too. One was re the jet thingies.

Farrukh Shah

@gamingonlinux I bet these are the side effects of free speech. This guy doesn't want Mastodon to rev up.

The DJ Mr P

@gamingonlinux it's both a badge of honor and indication of Mastodon's threat as a platform.

Larry Bury

@gamingonlinux
So how do we find the authentic refugees from the wreckage that is rapidly becoming Twitter?

DELETED

@gamingonlinux It just shows that the size of Melon's character is inverse to how much money he has, it's beyond pathetic...

Urcela

@gamingonlinux 😂😂😂😂this lunatic is on a revenge mission…and I was somewhat upset he suspended mine over pointing out his obsession with Hunter Biden!

EddieG

@gamingonlinux He's banning a lot more now. Mainly journalists critical of him or reporting on him. #

Ethan Jacobs

@gamingonlinux it’s making me dizzy watching Twitter circle the drain.

Matt Cooney

@gamingonlinux not that wow, when you stop and think about it

NumTwenty

@gamingonlinux Musk's free speech absolutism is just another lie by a fascist. Lies are very minor on the spectrum of what some people will do.

ya2nk usman

@gamingonlinux I have similiar case. My account suddenly locked, and sent verification from SMS not working.

Bathsheba Blue

@gamingonlinux
Elmo is a fascist. He’s suspended many journalist accounts tonight. I look forward to more people abandoning the site.

#ThursdayNightMassacre #BloodyThursday

Jeff Furlington

@gamingonlinux Some people think he's experiencing narcissistic collapse, perhaps from the Chapelle incident, and going berserk. He banned a bunch of journalists as well. His "free speech" routine didn't last long. I get the feeling that Elon lies to himself a lot as the imagined savior of humanity.

Enyi

@gamingonlinux really doesn’t make any sense whatsoever at this point 🤦🏾‍♂️

Craig in the PNW

@gamingonlinux Musk is a bully and a very self centered one at that.

NerdGirlInVR 💜🇺🇸🌎🐘💜

@gamingonlinux someone is feeling VERY threatened by this upstart social network 😂😂😂 Will he have them throttle tweets from anyone mentioning Mastodon?

KBSez ✅

@gamingonlinux

I just read that “ Twitter is no longer allowing posts that contain links to counter.social in them. And get this - is flagging them as 'potentially harmful' “

Angrycat

@gamingonlinux I had to leave there. He’s covering up so much

House_Junkie

@gamingonlinux Apparently the man baby isn't quite done yet. He banned accounts for a number of tech journalists today without warning. Just because.

moon

@gamingonlinux joined here after the news bc wtf this cannot be okay

David Martin

@gamingonlinux
Just joined massadon after finding out what Elon Musk did

F00FC7C8 likes to infodump
@gamingonlinux @DocMartinDC yeah, good call; he's really running that site into the ground and demonstrating why a free and open social web is necessary

welcome!
News Breaking LIVE

@gamingonlinux Along with the accounts of several journalists tonight

Dan Kelly

@gamingonlinux So now Elon's rules are "don't hurt my feelings" ?? What a pathetic snowflake. Hard to believe really. He's mentally unstable.

SooNorthProud

@gamingonlinux That's why I find myself here. What a hypocrite he is. Sooooo long Twitter.

DaltonRoad

@gamingonlinux

I read earlier somewhere on here that they are also blocking links to counter.social and tagging any post about it as 'sensitive material'

The Real Indigo

@gamingonlinux I'll talk Abt it 10x as much. He's banning tech journalists and others who have written Abt him on the last 24 hrs. He's gone full darkside.

Jaynae Marie

@gamingonlinux he’s lost it. Now he’s just hitting suspend for any reason. $8 says he does a complete purge oa anyone that ever had a byline that he considers “woke” and “liberal”. 🤨

Alan :verified:

@gamingonlinux just some good old free speech absolutism for ya. Nbd.

KalloFox34

@gamingonlinux WOW.

That is just sad. How does a rival website hurt his feelings that much?

Rumple Minze

@gamingonlinux He's a piece of shit. What do you expect? Considering that the account got suspended it tells you the fact that platform is growing is getting to him.

Matt

@gamingonlinux hey, it's free advertising for mastodon!

Glenn H Shepard Jr

@gamingonlinux What exactly are birdsite rules these days? Are there specific clauses or just the boss's whim?

Aoibh Wood

@gamingonlinux What did you expect. Free speech, as long as it benefits him.

TerranIV

@gamingonlinux Twitter is going down in flames much faster than I predicted!

Jaime Velez

@gamingonlinux this is why I joined. As soon as he felt threatened, it was time to see why!

Queen Thicctoria IV

@gamingonlinux the bannings won't stop til Twitter is 100% an extreme far right echo chamber. #TwitterApocolypse

KSwaggest

@gamingonlinux

Also banned a few mainstream reporters too lol

Dude is losing it and so much for "free speech" over there with all the stuff that has come out lately

charvaka :mastodon:

@gamingonlinux

When you don't have to care about antitrust laws because they are not enforced, you can do whatever you want

Dan

@gamingonlinux Elon Musk, the inventor of the anti-social network.

Kolya

@gamingonlinux free speech only if crybaby allows it.

Jigme Datse

@gamingonlinux Apparently this is because @elonjet after being banned off twitter, joined Mastodon, and apparently that's @joinmastodon's fault. I've not seen a 2 year old have this violent of a temper tantrum...

Thales

@gamingonlinux what amazes me is the fact that people are shocked. Society that isn’t pro nazi fascism, is constantly in “shock” for the past 2 years after the pandemic, after the coup attempt, after votes against stimulus checks peak killer virus, after nazi marches, after anti mask, after “the steal”, after banning books, after voter suppression, after voting against baby formula, after voting against sick paid leave, after voting against anti price gauging, after more white supremacy marches, after this Twitter take over and kkk/nazi (same shit different clothes) take over that followed…

Soooo are we just going to keep pretending and sweeping things under the rug??? Or are we going to start having collective action and mass protesting like in Iran??? Or just have America’s turn into nazi kkk nation while the rest whine all day??? What are the sports scores on tv guys???

@gamingonlinux Freedom of speech on Twitter has been officially terminated.

Marco Bresciani

@gamingonlinux
What a stupid, crazy idiot.
Indeed it's free speech. His own free speech. All the others just shut up.
So mean, Elmo.

Tim Riemann

@gamingonlinux That must be that free speech that he always mentions... 🤪

Möchte lernen

@gamingonlinux

🤣 🤣 #elonmusk darf mich mal ganz ganz gern haben 🤣

das_ICH :verified_coffee:

@gamingonlinux for all we knew already he is a little insecure guy. Next he shows up at a Kindergarten calls the staff paedophiles and steals the kids candy to resell it to the parents as better, healthier candy when they show to pick up their kids…

MrForestos

@gamingonlinux ich bin von Musk enttäuscht. Eigentlich ein Visionär mit SpaceX, macht er keine Gute Figur mit Twitter und seinen Entgleisungen.

DELETED

@gamingonlinux what a sad little man child. And not being able to link mastodon accounts on Twitter? What a coward. Free speech my ass #SpaceKaren

Flo (er/ihm)

@gamingonlinux Ok, time to completely remove my two accounts there

Grizzly Granny

@gamingonlinux here’s the irony, I’d never heard of Masterdon until I read today about this ban. Musk’s journalist purge was the last straw so I set up my account here. Thanks Elon!

3dcandy

@gamingonlinux banned a load of critical journalists and also anybody who dares go against him....

3dcandy

@gamingonlinux but Elon advocates "free speech" whilst banning people he personally doesn't like!
