It is now apparently impossible to post a link to Mastodon dot social for unclear reasons except … no doubt … freedom of speech absolutism. You get this message.

Progress!

Thanks to Roger Geller at @PBOTinfo for these graphics (and for making so many of these projects happen!).

Very appropriate that this was my last post

Journalists who cover Elon Musk have been suspended on Twitter tonight: @Donie O'Sullivan from CNN, Aaron Rupar and the Washington Post's @drewharwell.

Rupar tells me he has "no idea" why it happened.

The last two stories @drewharwell wrote before Twitter suddenly suspended him.

Elon Musk, whom I have blocked, is now liking my tweets.

I’m sure that bodes well.

I hope that even my worst critics remain on Twitter, because that is what free speech means

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

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
