@pixelfed Sad but a knightly accolade anyway! 👍🏻

@pixelfed Best news ever. 🎉
Thanks for the free advertising elon!!
Now journalists will be writing about this. :pixelfed:
The #Fediverse is getting so popular.

@pixelfed Hey #PixelFed in da place ! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

@pixelfed These are the warnings I get if I try to add my PixelFed link to my bio or if I click on an existing tweet with a PixelFed link in it.

@pixelfed some suspect that "only" links with .social are blocked.

@pixelfed no, pixelfed.de seems to be als affected.

@pixelfed it happens to me, is blocking the domain. This also happens in Facebook. 😩

@pixelfed I thought reality showed us that last sentence should be "then they try to own you" :blobfoxthink: #eee #redhat #github

@pixelfed They also suspended official Mastodon account

@pixelfed congratulations... Getting blocked on the birdsite seems to be the new ✅
😉

@pixelfed potentially harmful to twitter’s business model

@pixelfed Interestingly, by also censoring PixelFed, Elon Musk indicates that there is a whole ecosystem beyond Mastodon, and shines a light on the whole fediverse.

@pixelfed "Potentially harmful." 😂

@pixelfed same thing happened to https://moa.party ~ [[moa]] links earlier in the year.

@pixelfed yea, harmful to whom? that is the salient question.

@pixelfed then you win

@pixelfed

Hi! Adding a tinyurl works (for now). It does give the user warning:

I follow everyone that follows me

@pixelfed wwwaaaat why are they blocking you too? that doesn't even make sense

@pixelfed same for mastodon. social

@pixelfed
Wow I'm glad he's not in charge of a country.

@pixelfed yep, and scholar.social is also harmful. I was blocked from posting a link to my profile.

@pixelfed I wonder if it would still happen if the linked profile didn't include a Mastodon profile in its bio right there

@pixelfed Twitter is done I guess :ablobwink:

We don't need it anymore! 💪

@pixelfed Or,

First they came for XXXX, and I didn't care because I'm not XXXX.

Then they came for YYYY, and I didn't care because I'm not YYYY.

Then they came for WWWW, and I didn't care because I'm not WWWW.

Then they came for me, and it was really ackward to be the last to migrate to Mastodon...

@pixelfed Potentially harmful to #Elon and #ElonsEgo 🤣

@pixelfed
Add a dot after the //
--> https://.pixelfed.social
It is still a valid url, but birdy won't catch it.... for now.

@pixelfed seems ok when tweeting a link to pixelfed.fr (for the moment)

@pixelfed , His #ElonMusk ,Blocking Everyone & Anyone That Upsets Him & His Fragile Ego'd Co-Investors :( 😞

@pixelfed Is there any info at all on why these blocks? Other than speculation.

@pixelfed I bet it's the .social that gets it.

Maybe just point some other URL at it lol.

@pixelfed elon is scared, censoring fediverse links haaah!

@pixelfed
a serious foolishness this man can not block people from selecting another option, he is seeing at the fediverse as a serious treat, and I love it

@pixelfed
Had a really hard time verifying through gmail.
Not only prevented me from opening the link, but immediately sent to trash. And then, for the first-time ever, emptied my trash folder.

@pixelfed https://youtu.be/M4ZJNDVH_FY

@pixelfed I have a question: will it work If I post a URL shortener?

@pixelfed #protectionism.

The hemorrhaging has begun

@Repetition does not transform a lie into a truth. Franklin D. Roosevelt

@pixelfed Sounds like he wants a walled garden where only trolls can play.

@pixelfed I don't even know what pixelfed is but susk banning links to it makes him look childish

@pixelfed “potentially harmful”

@pixelfed given the choice between Twitter and Pixelfed:
this is easy....
Pixelfed wins!
someone should post something about pixelfed to indybay. if no one else does, I will. indybay.org

@pixelfed @AndiFFM Twitter is a dumpster fire. Don’t extinguish it. Let it burn down.

@pixelfed Didn’t know about you until Twitter started banning. I’m now informing friends and family how to jump from IG to Pixelfed!

@pixelfed So now pixelfed is being cancelled? What did you do to piss off Musk?

@pixelfed Never heard of Twitter

@pixelfed

@pixelfed Confirmed. Doesn't seem to be every instance of fediversal applications probably just the major ones plus whatever's been reported.

It's not that hard to block servers in a space that is founded on openness and transparency.

@pixelfed Elon is clearly threatened by the Fediverse. Go figure.

@pixelfed try with an account that doesn't have 'mastodon' in the open graph metadata as this guy's does and see if it still throws an error.

@pixelfed 🙄🙄🙄

@pixelfed Badge of honour

@pixelfed
On what basis?

@pixelfed I was just wondering about this... My guess is #twitter used and Ali to the instances website to pull a list of everything in the #fediverse. Absolutely hilarious. Total censorship for no legitimate reason.

@pixelfed harmful to their product. It’s a private company all you can do is shrug and keep it moving.

@pixelfed Twitter? We don't need no stinkin' Twitter!

@pixelfed "twitter is under new management.
From now on we will apply a scorched internet policy and burn every bridge that we can.
We shall build a silo that is yuuuuge!
It will even make our Mars Rockets tiny in comparison.
It will have a great ekko for the boss to crack wise ass tweets .. .to noone but his dedicated fanboys".

@pixelfed All this will do is let a lot of new people learn about pixelfed

@pixelfed
Elon Musk gedraagt zich als iemand die de richtingaanwijzer nooit gebruikt omdat hij zelf al weet waar hij heen wil.

@pixelfed From their point of view, that link is not merely harmful now, it's an existential threat indeed.

@pixelfed As others have pointed out, the link IS "potentially harmful" which is true. Potentially harmful to Twitter and very likely Musk and Tesla if he has to keep selling shares.

@pixelfed

@pixelfed

I don't think they are trying to do a conspiracy especificly against Pixelfed.social. It's just Twitter's filters doing some dumb stuff.

An account I manage was identified as a bot for error once and I couldn't tweet on that one for a time.

@pixelfed I wonder whether that's because it bans the word social from links now

@pixelfed

Lawl. What a childish blunder: make users more aware of "unsafe" websites, only to find haven in them. :thisIsFine:

@pixelfed So is Elon going through the entire list of federated instances or something? If so, any bets on how long before he gets to the federated WordPress blogs?

@pixelfed I can't even understand that one at all. You're a photo sharing site!

@pixelfed Není špatnou variantou, jen přidání max 4 obrázků k jednomu poštu mi přijde trochu málo i když některým, kteří jedou na množství postů to nevadí.

Za mě by bylo alespoň 6 - 7 obrázků na post OK 🤔

@pixelfed I was almost tempted to get around my permanent ban?

Maybe it isn't worth it?

Though, I did have some important people on there who probably won't ever come to Mastodon. Including the person tasked with making box art for my game.

These are turbulent times.

@pixelfed excited for the pixelfed apps to come out

@pixelfed so what is pixelfed?

@pixelfed go PixelFed! we are all cheering for you!

@pixelfed

They hate us cause they ain't us.

@pixelfed #TwitterMigration

@pixelfed Twitter is the biggest malware now🙃

@pixelfed So he's not only going for #mastodon. He's fighting against the entire #fediverse idea. Good news: he's scared. We should celebrate.

@pixelfed Gosh, what Elon is doing here seems a lot like commercial disparagement (along with other things) to me, but IANAL.

@pixelfed Feel free to use https://tkz.icu to link to any Mastodon instance in Twitter safely.

@pixelfed You know you've made it when...

@pixelfed
Well, Pixelfed is "potentially harmful" (to Twitter), yoy know... 😆
@aral

@pixelfed This is against Elon's so called free speech principals. Hypocrites
