Thinking about those thousands of ex-#Twitter employees who resigned or were fired from Elon's Twitter, most of whom are now probably thanking their lucky stars that they're not there now. Because being involved in what's happening at Twitter now may not look really stellar on a CV.

A reply to one of my recent posts asked me to “be realistic.”

Let’s be REALLY clear here.

I’ve been doing this for 30+ years in every kind of city. I’ve been in more decision-making rooms than I can count.

I know what’s possible and what isn’t. I know why things happen and why they don’t. I know what excuse sounds like.

Everything I talk about regarding better cities is “realistic.” It takes telling the truth, actually WANTING to make different choices, & real leadership.

*** BREAKING ***: Musk officially bans links from #Twitter to list of competing social media platforms, or even mentions of addresses/handles on those platforms. The EU is gonna love this one.

Promotion of alternative social platforms policy

December 2022

Twitter is where the public conversation is happening, and where people from all over the globe come to promote their businesses, art, ideas, and more. We know that many of our users may be active on other social media platforms; however, going forward, Twitter will no longer allow free promotion of specific social media platforms on Twitter.

What is a violation of this policy?

At both the Tweet level and the account level, we will remove any free promotion of prohibited 3rd-party social media platforms, such as linking out (i.e. using URLs) to any of the below platforms on Twitter, or providing your handle without a URL:

Prohibited platforms:

Facebook, Instagram, Mastodon, Truth Social, Tribel, Post and Nostr

3rd-party social media link aggregators such as linktr.ee, lnk.bio

Examples:

“follow me @username on Instagram”

“username@mastodon.social”

“check out my profile on Facebook - facebook.com/username”

Accounts that are used for the main purpose of promoting content on another social platform may be suspended. Additionally, any attempts to bypass restrictions on external links to the above prohibited social media platforms through technical or non-technical means (e.g. URL cloaking, plaintext obfuscation) is in violation of this policy. This includes, but is not limited to, spelling out “dot” for social media platforms that use “.” in the names to avoid URL creation, or sharing screenshots of your handle on a prohibited social media platform.

Example: “instagram dot com/username”

What is not a violation of this policy?

We recognize that certain social media platforms provide alternative experiences to Twitter, and allow users to post content to Twitter from these platforms. In general, any type of cross-posting to our platform is not in violation of this policy, even from the prohibited sites listed above.

Additionally, we allow paid advertisement/promotion for any of the prohibited social media platforms.

What happens if you violate this policy?

Tweet deletion and temporary account locks

If violations of this policy are an isolated incident or first offense, we may take a number of actions ranging from requiring deletion of one or more Tweets to temporarily locking account(s). Any subsequent offenses will result in permanent suspension.
Temporary suspension

If violations of this policy are included in your bio and/or account name, we will temporarily suspend your account and require changes to your profile to no longer be in violation. Subsequent violations may result in permanent suspension.

If you believe that your account was locked or suspended in error, you can submit an appeal.

The hero's fighting for your freedom.

Free speech is whatever the person with the most money says it is.

Congratulations to Mastodon for making the big no-no platform list in Twitter’s anti-promotion policy!

Twitter wouldn't let me edit my bio to include the words "elephant app" lol

Using Mastodon after Twitter is so weird, I feel like I just came back from war and I’m having trouble adjusting to the everyday niceties of civilian life

no URLs. no usernames without the URL. no bypassing restrictions on URLs (like writing example dot com). no posting images with usernames in them.

free speech!

The cutest cat in the world.

Oh, he is scared scared.

Lol

Twitter is building a wall & wants us to pay for it.

Hello, Mastodon!

@dhstokyo @JeremyLittau

Based on past actions, we can expect them to enforce this randomly, inconsistently, and maliciously.
