WOW. Elon Musk's Twitter straight-up banned the account for Mastodon. Just, wow. @gamingonlinux It's a good thing Twitter banned Mastodon cause I only just knew about this awesome app @gamingonlinux I have always been uncomfortable with just how fragile Twitter (and for that matter Facebook) was, to the extent that I've always been reluctant to invest heavily in terms of promotion or resources there. This was so unnecessary, but in a way, it was probably just as well that it did happen. Mastodon will thrive. Twitter ... not so much. @gamingonlinux Chevy won't put Tesla stickers on Volts either... It's Elon company he can bake what ever cake he likes... @gamingonlinux huh Twitter has just turned into a soap opera platform after Musk. People should value their time somewhere else @gamingonlinux of course he would. Sadly not surprised. I was waiting for that yo happen. @gamingonlinux wow! They are also now banning the mastodon links, Elon doesn't like competition either. A small dictator in his own yard @gamingonlinux so suspending mastodon is fair game because they're a direct competitor but when Ford and GM refuse to line Tesla's pockets it's bad LOL @gamingonlinux Is it that weird? No. Itโs just high-profile now is all. Ever seen a Chevy ad inside a Ford dealer? Itโs the same situation except digital property. @greypilgrim the internet is an open platform, you can be on and interact with more than one website or social network at a time @gamingonlinux Sure. I agree there. How about controlling your own website, like your own? Do you allow someone to publish an article about joining Boiling Steam? Or does your website not qualify as "the internet" but Twitter does? @greypilgrim @gamingonlinux Iโll do you one better. @gamingonlinux funfact, Iโm posting this thanks to Musk taking this action and piquing my interest in Mastadon. For such a smart guy he sure lacks an understanding of the Streisand Effect. @gamingonlinux I'm glad Elon spends time on rocket science, but social media is just not in his wheelhouse. @gamingonlinux he's claiming all the people being blocked is for doxxing, and right-wing Twitter is going right along with it. Yikes. Yeah Elon, Voice of America was doxxing people. Sure. |
@gamingonlinux Not taking the piss out of it any more, then? Someone's worried
