With the new rules, Elon will have to ban our chapter of... the National Weather Service. For telling people to go to its Facebook for a Live discussion on how to survive the arctic blast this week.

Thry would have had it on Spaces but that service has had spotty availability lately.

Im glad my instant dislike in you has been validated again and again.

surprised he didnt do it a week or so ago. i follow ALOT of artists of various types and they all have to do different links to communicate and poo poo. while i am sure elon has chud motivations partly. i suspect this is him trying to 1. stem the tied of folks leaving or having off site places and 2. not understanding their isnt really "direct competion" between social media platforms really since they offer different things.

I think he's literally just butthurt at seeing so many people posting 'find me on Mastodon' which led you the ban the other day of any links to it, and this is his attempt to make it look like a policy rather than a childish whim

The only people who legitimately like him are crypto tech bros, who are weird always online loners in the middle of the grifter pyramid at best and are doing their best to be Musk’s exit liquidity whenever he pump and dumps Tesla stock.

It’s also directly shooting his new alternative revenue source right in the foot as well: someone did a datascrape and 15 of the top 20 new Twitter Blue subscribers were sex workers using the blue check amplification to promote their instagram/onlyfans/etc.
