all of these suspensions just occurred only within the last hour. Elon is currently rapidly purging all of his biggest critics and competition from this platform

Free speech absolutist Elon Musk is now suspending journalists on Twitter who he doesn’t think are covering him appropriately. https://www.techdirt.com/2022/12/15/thursday-night-purge-elon-musks-twitter-bans-tons-of-high-profile-journalists/

Musk banning journalists for reporting on his banning of the account that published public information about his jet is reason #666 to get the fuck off this platform.

Journalists yesterday: mastodon is confusing and tooting is silly.
Journalists tomorrow: mastodon is fun and I'll tell you why I always believed in it.

Twitter just banned a wave of prominent journalists with no explanation https://tcrn.ch/3BHiHkC

Also this account is super interesting. https://mastodon.social/@Elonjet

They're gonna have to rename the Streisand Effect after tonight.

My @nytimes colleague @RMac18 is suspended, apparently for tweeting about this situation.

The "free speech absolutist" and apartheid emerald mine beneficiary has suspended @IGD_News

You can find articles at https://itsgoingdown.org/ and follow them over on Mastodon https://kolektiva.social/@igd_news

IGD also has a podcast you can find easily https://itsgoingdown.org/category/podcast/

It appears Twitter has banned the accounts of Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) and Washington Post reporter @drewharwell. Unclear why, but this seems to be the final tweet from Harwell.

Several accounts for prominent journalists have been suspended. I guess freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom of the press:
Aaron Rupar (@atrupar)
Drew Harwell (@drewharwell)
Donie O'Sullivan (@donie)
Ryan Mac (@rmac18)
Matt Binder (@mattbinder)

honestly i thought this app would collapse for technical reasons and not because the loser who owns it does a night of the long knives to everyone who doesn't kiss his ass

Here’s the patent for it they tout on the site.

They pretty much patented their very unique data infrastructure.

11/10 marketing.

Tried to use the Shutterfly mobile app to design my Christmas cards. Selected the wrong photo from my camera roll so now I have 90 of these.

Look twitter tos is in place to protect the guy who owns the site not children’s hospitals. If you want it to be different you can rise up through our meritocratic system by having your ancestors steal an emerald mine and buy twitter yourself

So much for free speech. Musk has killed @ElonJet, which was using public aircraft data.

I’m overwhelmingly empathetic to doxing and taking action, but there’s no valid argument this endangers anyone.

i love to diss on mastodon and this actually comes from a rather unfair frustration that like a lot of OSS its just trying to reskin the big alternative, twitter (toots, seriously?) in a clunky way instead of making anything new. it’s funny to see jack doing that to masto now

holy fucking shit, tesla stock is crashing and burning faster than an actual tesla
