@georgetakei It would be funny, if it weren't such a sad case.

@georgetakei at least the yellow checkmark fits them.

@georgetakei This is how Twitter ends.

@georgetakei the end is near.

@georgetakei
Facebook, Mastodon, etc. nope.
Parler links apparently fine though...

@georgetakei a surefire sign things are going great

@georgetakei he left out OnlyFans. Hmmm…

@georgetakei wow. new lows every day.

@georgetakei

Hope this runs afoul of regulations. Would be funny if and when Twitter and Musk are both fined into non-existence.

@georgetakei Elon has taken a lot of the South African National Party Apartheid Government Habits with him. Constantly banning things as we came up with ways to show up their little inconsistent petty rules.

#VoetsekElon

@georgetakei And by doing that they're creating free advertising for Mastodon in the media

@georgetakei Elon The Grinch!!!

@georgetakei

Musk clearly doesn't understand what the core value of Twitter was - giving people access to what is going on elsewhere.

That is why 140/280 characters were enough. It was sufficient to say 'hey here is this cool thing to look for'.

@georgetakei he's such a weak clown.

I wish I could meet him just to laugh in his face and walk away ignoring his pathetic whining after I do it.

@georgetakei Just stay on #Mastodon. :)

@georgetakei We are lucky, universodon is not included, nor is todon.eu (my instance). There's no real "mastodon" but a federated universe of individual instances 😎

@georgetakei Elon can take his version of free speech and shub it where the SUN DON'T SHINE

@georgetakei

It's never been about freedom of speech... it's always been about his belief that he is free to do and say whatever he wants, free from any consequences.

Because that's what ignorant, narcissistic man babies do. They try to convince the stupid and the gullible that they have value and worth.... all they are is grifters and liars.

@georgetakei @amandapalmer @neilhimself be ready to be banned from the bird site…

@georgetakei I keep expecting for something to make sense that Musk does with Twitter but it seemingly just keeps getting worse.

@georgetakei just gobsmacked that twitter has come to this.

@georgetakei
It's freedom of speech, apartheid-style.

@georgetakei so much freedom of speech over there on the bird. It musk be something we said.

@georgetakei We all know it was never about "free speech" with him lol.

@georgetakei So glad you made the jump before the wormhole closed!

@georgetakei these are moves from a desperate and increasingly lonely man child. #twitter #twitterpurge #twittermigration

@georgetakei So - build a wall to stop people from running. What is this - DDR back in the days?

@georgetakei
Musks freedom of speech. Nothing else.

@georgetakei Do you feel like part of this is trying to give "Truth Social" some validity? It's odd how it's included in the list.

@georgetakei A few days ago I deleted all the posts in my old T account. It's now it's just one post linking to my M account. The death-watch for my twitter account begins. . .

https://twitter.com/johnhattan

@georgetakei So now there’s no reason for me to keep an account on Twitter. Good

@georgetakei more bad moves. News outlets are gonna enjoy the headlines with this

@georgetakei @antimnguyen it’s such a shame and I’m pretty pissed. Twitter was a huge boon to me both socially and professionally and with the swipe of his finger, Elon’s gone and screwed it all over in the course of just a couple months! Not to mention just blatantly lying about it in the process the whole damn time.

Seriously sucks.

@georgetakei Siri, what is a death throe?

@georgetakei
He must be trying to kill it off begore the end of the year for some reason.

@georgetakei only what they want

@georgetakei

Musk may as well merge Twitter with GAB now and get it over with.

@georgetakei this is also why he removed the source of the tweets.

@georgetakei Funny that Elmo thinks that the issue is the advertising for other sites, not the deplorable behavior he's exhibited.

@georgetakei That looks remarkably like an effort at restraint of trade. I used https://ftc.gov/complaint to file a report

@georgetakei this is not a statement of strength from Twitter!

@georgetakei no joke! Pretty amazing how fast what we all knew was happening... happened.

@georgetakei the solution to the problem that is the bird site is to stop talking about the bird site. Let it die a death of attrition.

@georgetakei

$SPOUSE is reading about this right now. I periodically hear phrases like "bitch-baby behaviour".

Anyway, it looks like I won't need go through the effort of deleting my account.

@georgetakei it's almost like twitter is defederating itself 😅

@georgetakei

jeez, I didn't even know of some of these platforms. Now I do, LOL

@georgetakei Tumblr right now after being left out of the "Sites Elon Musk is Scared Of Club." 😭😭😭

@georgetakei would you consider stopping posting anything on Twitter now?

@georgetakei

We got the "free speech means whatever i want it to mean" message on Twitter quite some time ago didn't we?

Cute that they're making a clear what they've already been doing for some time.

@georgetakei Am I going to have to unfollow you here to stop hearing about freaking Twitter? Leave it behind. It's done. Next.

@georgetakei

Nostr is Jack Dorsey's new social media project. Like, very few high profile people, basically none other than Jack, talking about it.

So... sounds like Elon's going to battle. Which means he's feeling threatened.

@georgetakei so petty

@georgetakei Just incredible.

@georgetakei #BoycottTwitter . 100%.

@georgetakei

I'm content to watch him burn it down from here.

@georgetakei Anybody might think there was an exodus...

@georgetakei Thank god I found you here…

@georgetakei

Truly pathetic...

@georgetakei He came in with a bang. It will end with a wimper.

@georgetakei: I bet he won't consider "LibsOfTikTok" reposting videos with the only purpose of showing all the great stuff Other Social Media Platforms(tm), such as TikTok, have, "promoting" them.

@georgetakei The Twitter-profiles of Facebook, Instagram etc. are still there 🥸

@georgetakei https://mstdn.party/@Popehat@mastodon.social/109536084632090125

@georgetakei This does not hold true for everyone though.

@georgetakei I am glad, that i am here now. RIP little blue bird

@georgetakei this is legit insanity, i'm assuming it's all part of his little cult idea, but it's just madness.

@georgetakei “Free speech for me, but not for thee!” I wonder how long it will take before they start banning people for questioning the “free speech” promise he made at the start.

@georgetakei just deactivated my twitter account, the 'digital town square' has become a sink hole

@georgetakei

@georgetakei@universeodon.comhttps://www.themarysue.com/our-child-king-is-handsome-and-wise-as-proven-by-his-new-decree-he-is-definitely-not-a-petty-baby/?fbclid=IwAR1_357XjA1ZDa_-IVNsabEKKego27Q26TAWcTsm-cfieG0TPKzbcXbUSV8

@georgetakei This feels like patching the boat while it’s underwater. Depressing and pathetic.

@georgetakei Prediction: It's only going to get worse. And I'm an optimist.

@georgetakei
What a crybaby

@georgetakei so much for it.

Better times ahead here.

@georgetakei this is what Twitter will fall down.

@georgetakei

Yup, all but conceding he knows Twitter has far more problems than he is willing to admit.

@georgetakei Do the sycophants still believe Elon was there to promote free speech?

... I mean, I know the answer, but it feels good to ask.

@georgetakei This might have come across a little more sincere if they hadn't pettily labeled the links to other platforms as malware.

@georgetakei That is why I am spending some more time here than there.

@georgetakei He's gotta be one of the biggest wimps in the history of mankind. A slug has more backbone than this joke of a man.

@georgetakei Next week: "Twitter is free to read but you must have a verified (paid) account to post. Libs need not apply." :dragnsarc:

@georgetakei Fun thing is they can never block all Fedi/masto links since anyone can just spin up a new instance. lol

@georgetakei Elon supports freedom of speech untill it doesn't suit his agenda

@georgetakei yeah I deactivated my Twitter account on this one..

Deleted the app last month.. but this was the point where I entered via web browser to deactivate and delete.

@georgetakei Let Twitter die.

@georgetakei The superpower of a dictator. Convincing people that you won’t be. That you believe in all freedoms to only 5 minutes of being in leadership to convince those same people that harsh and strict measures HAD to be taken.
Wool meet eyes.

@georgetakei Of course crossposting is okay. As long as you bring content in, you are a good product.

@georgetakei has strong "you can't have any other friends except me" vibes

@georgetakei wonder why he doesn't mention Gab

@georgetakei hilarious to me. Have more Twatter users diverted to the named sites? So, um what about the porn? They use links to promote.

@georgetakei I mean, we always knew it was bullshit.

@georgetakei Its interesting to see how Twitter takes its relevance and throw it far far away.
Not a smart move to cut off other social media pages from Twitter.

@georgetakei Musk is such a snowflake!

@georgetakei epic self own that: https://mastodon.social/@arossp/109536131187807117

@georgetakei It was eventually going to happen. He's not about free speech, he's all about control. So glad I left. #JohnMastodon got to him. Lol

@georgetakei Is there nothing to tell except what's happening on Twitter?

@georgetakei

Soon there will be metaphorical barbwire.
