@kevinteljeur @Gargron Musk the manbaby banned the Mastodon Twitter account & banned ALL links to Mastodon.

Kevin Teljeur โ„๏ธ

@AndGraceToo @Gargron Oh yes, I saw that! I though that maybe Eugen had been personally banned (which wouldnโ€™t be surprising either at this point)

GraceToo

@b0gste @kevinteljeur @Gargron He's not a principled man. He's a self entitled narcissist & pale, puffy manbaby who says things to appease his weird stans but it's just words with no substance.

@AndGraceToo @kevinteljeur @Gargron Do they think not linking to Mastodon will stem the tide of people leaving?

How many more will be purged for writing about Mastodon now?

#twitterpurge

Kevin Teljeur โ„๏ธ

@jkb @AndGraceToo @Gargron Itโ€™s just one man, flailing around as he destroys his acquisition and the value of his beloved car company with it. But yeah, big Streisand Effect getting applied here

Gabriel Pettier

@jkb @AndGraceToo @kevinteljeur @Gargron It might be effective, the people getting banned are the ones with already a foot outside, itโ€™s more important to prevent the news to reach others than trying to keep them in.
Hopefully it wonโ€™t be enough, i left twitter recently, the reports i get is that itโ€™s getting more toxic by the day, and it wasnโ€™t exactly peaceful before, surely people will just get out now, wherever they may go.

@tshirtman @AndGraceToo @kevinteljeur @Gargron I left a long time ago. I looked back once, found Mastodon but didn't get active, looked at Twitter again, quit social media, and in the last half of this year just went all in on Mastodon.

Best thing too because before the first great migration was making great connections.

And now I think I have some of the best interactions ever within Mastodon and made me think this is what it should be like.

@jkb Here I am, just sent my "Dear John" to Elon.

If you follow someone's twitter link to Mastadon it tells you "This site is marked as unsafe"...๐Ÿ˜…

@Gargron But how much did you pay to get _THAT_ advertisement campaign going?

@Gargron quitting twitter is like quitting smoking, you may well miss killing yourself but in the end you will feel so much better without the daily drip of poison

@Gargron how can I donate to the mastodon.social instance

@Gargron mastodon made it, being banned on twitter is a badge of honour sometimes

@Gargron would be nice to have the app like the web version, simpler with only 3 tabs, this server thing is too much ๐Ÿ˜…

@Gargron Did the same thing a few days ago. What if Elon follows and joins us here? ๐Ÿ™ƒ

@Gargron Showing replies stopped working on my Twitter account a few days ago anyway.

@Gargron Once again: we thank you for your efforts!

chrisbeach

@Gargron Elonโ€™s kid was in a car that was blocked and attacked by a nutter thanks to the doxxing of his location by bad actors. Even if itโ€™s โ€œpublic infoโ€ on some database, to broadcast it regularly on Twitter will only help stalkers. It serves no other purpose.

For Mastodon to support this doxxing (inc posting links on Twitter from official mastodon accounts) is not just spiteful, it is sinister and shows an unethical side to the management of this OSS software.

Charles Gaba

@Gargron Q: Are link preview cards in the works for the iOS app? They work on the browser version I knowโ€ฆ

Thomas H Jones II

@Gargron unfortunately, since that's where a significant chunks of the companies I do business with conduct their "support", now, still have to go to Twitter if I need support.

Knowing what I know about Twitter's security, I'm not *real* happy that two of those companies are my banks' initial customer service entry-points.

Skipper49

@Gargron It looks like Elon is on the way to destroying 'Twitter' through bankruptcy faster than I thought possible.

Vlad โ˜๏ธ

@Gargron Tesla the new redneck car and Elon a sore loser

jeremy

@Gargron I deleted Twitter from my phone, finally. I still check occasionally via PC. My blood pressure is already starting to normalize. Elon is really a loose wingnut. Thanks for bringing us an alternative!

๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ & ๐Ÿบ

@Gargron I kinda like how the notifs here and the "trending" topics are casually off to the side

I don't feel like I'm logging in and am immediately assaulted with links to bad takes or horrible news

@Gargron always a silver lining to things

@Gargron Glass half full view. This event is also boosting Mastadon users.

@Gargron
Iโ€™m waiting to see how long it takes for the little bird to succumb to the noxious fumes that are permeating the site. A bluebird in a coal mine, gasping for air.
Elon moves further into the tunnel and the tiny bird is huffing and puffing doing itโ€™s best to fly the coop, but Elon keeps our feathered friend caged.
Not even a tiny submarine can rescue our little blue friend now.

@Gargron Banning mastodon was the tipping point for me. Im building up now me interesting mastodon timeline.

@Gargron i want to be a sponsor, could you send me the link?

@Gargron "Free speech"โ€ฆ ๐Ÿซข Thanks for giving us Mastodon! ๐Ÿ–ค

@Gargron
Isn't this anti-competitive behavior? To ban the mastodon account and also to censor mastodon links on Twitter?

Steven Mack

@Gargron but seriously, mine have never been less exciting.

Just opening Twitter gives me anxiety ๐Ÿ˜…

@Gargron I just left there thru the Twitter portal after 2 weeks of pondering where I would take my talents next. So, โ€ฆ here I am โ€” a brand new and follower-less hillbilly from NW Arkansas. I had a nice prize to offer the first one to follow me here but I got rolled on the way outta Twitter, so โ€ฆ ๐Ÿซค

Charles J Gervasi โšก๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ๐Ÿฅฅ

@Gargron My last tweet on Oct 27 was re-tweet of instructions from that account on how to join Mastodon. Retweets disappear with deleted accounts. People are finding their way anyway.

Jay Arnold :verified:

@Gargron Idea: almost all the resistance I hear is โ€œPicking a server is too complicatedโ€. We know itโ€™s not, but what about the possibly of an an option โ€œpick a server for meโ€?
Could be from a random subset, or to get fancy ask three questions to narrow the choice. If there was a โ€œpick one for meโ€ option it can certainly say, you can always change later. #random #twitterexodus

@Gargron Glad to be providing news over here on Mastodon! Thanks for what you built

@Gargron Hi Eugen, I'm a reporter for CNN. Wanted to see if you had any comment on Twitter blocking links to Mastodon. Do you have any thoughts in response?

MyassesDragon

@Gargron
I go to twitter to post, but now I see so many right wing nut jobs in my feed that I leave quickly.
If I wanted GAB I would be on Twitter in the first place.

@Gargron haha very positive way to look at it dude. Btw I am loving Mastodon.

@Gargron I havenโ€™t for weeks! Itโ€™s great!

Chris Squire

@Gargron which server would best suit me? I am a small business owner that really needs online traffic. Twitter is getting worse by the Tweet. If I can get enough Toots I can leave altogether.
