George Takei

My mastadon link at my pinned tweet on Twitter is now warning anyone who clicks on it that the sight may be “unsafe.”
You know what actually feels unsafe right now? Musk on Twitter.

@georgetakei are you going to ditch Twitter soon? It seems like now is a good time to give it up completely.

@kkeller @georgetakei I have! I've spent a bit of time running various scripts to unfollow, unlike and delete my posts, then locked my account and put a bitly link to mastodon in my bio 🐘

Niamh Maher

@georgetakei exactly! I have been permanently suspended today.

pitch R.

@georgetakei and it looks like the ssl/tls warning of your browser. feels like scamming.

Krutonium

@georgetakei They're outright blocking links to Mastodon as well from being posted.

Zalasur 🐵

@georgetakei Warning: this link may take you to Mastooohhhh-myyyy.

Advisory Briefs

@georgetakei He's scared of the mass exodus...when I left, he was like "cool," but rumor has it he cried out "Why George, Why?!?!" when you did 😅

r3con woo

@georgetakei Elon perma banned me today on twitter😂

Lexa 🎀

@georgetakei got a similar message when trying to send links to an instance to my friends - blocked me completely from posting it.

@georgetakei
i'm speechless, how can today's society stand this behaviour and that... guy, aren't there any laws to regulate this? a new low for 🐦

@georgetakei imagine being so insecure about your sinking ship, that you feel your only recourse is to make competing (safe) ships look scary and unsafe.

WeavingWithAI

@georgetakei indeed! And so much for 'free speech' 🙄

wolfger

@georgetakei That feels like it should be actionable...

Lisa L. Spangenberg

@georgetakei You can make a free QR code for your Mastodon profile and post it on Twitter

Langwidere the Radical

@georgetakei By all means, you are frighteningly evil. Next stop, you'll be banned. Join our club!

Mark Bignell :verified2:

@georgetakei you're right on the money. Did you catch the article earlier that stated Musk was going to change the TOS so he can sell the lists of private contact information lists that Twitter holds on its users?
I did not consent to being on yet another spam text, mail and phone telemarketer's contact list.

@georgetakei Musk is the biggest threat right now... I know I get mental warnings whenever I see him... Hopefully real life warnings will follow...

@georgetakei "Unsafe" in this instance meaning "A site I don't own personally."

Ross Trevelyan

@georgetakei I tried to post a link to my Counter.Social profile and got a warning that I was posting "malware!"😂

orthohand

@georgetakei I used a screenshot of my mastodon profile to post on twitter so that I don't get this issue.

Russ

@georgetakei I tried to add my Mastodon link to my Twitter bio earlier today. It failed with a message “Account update failed: URL is considered malware.”

Simon Lamont

@georgetakei I was so shocked I deliberately clicked the link, ignored the warning and signed up here... Thanks, Space Karen Musk! ;)

@georgetakei it surrealistic, funny, absurd and sad at the same time.

Hard to imagine what drives a billionaire to completely ruin his own 44bn investment ...

Luc Bernier

@georgetakei Same thing is happening to me over there. So ridiculous

@georgetakei Same in France.
I AM NOT DANGEROUS but ELON DON T LIKE FREEDOM. 🖖
