@mguhlin glad I shut that account down, my question now is what it will take to get more users to leave, and that place be reduced to a fringe platform.

Strategy to hasten the demise of Elonsite:

External social links have been banned.
Facebook, Instagram, Mastodon, link aggregators - all banned.

But not YouTube!

Who will make a free service to generate YouTube videos with our social links? :)

Can't wait to see Elon ban YouTube links out of fear for 🐘

Welcome to all our new friends. We’re glad you’re here!

*** 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.

well, i got mariah what she wanted for #christmas and she better like it

@Pwnallthethings Looks like I've solved the "when to quit twitter problem"

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!

Oh, he is scared scared.

Remember in the 80s when you could only use the computer at home, in only one room?

I'm sending this from a mall food court. Isn't the future grand?

Hey all, NightBlade here. Most of you know me from Twitter. I'm a solo evenings/weekends #IndieDev #GameDev dad. I mostly make smaller 2d pixel art.

Currently wrapping up #GemWorlds for release on Steam: Linux, Windows, and MacOS. Inspired by the #puzzle games Supaplex and Boulder Dash from my youth, with a mixture of #roguelike elements and a touch of minimalism.

Check it out, every wishlists and follow helps:

Lol

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

What a thin-skinned toddler; what an infant; what a childish, petty manbaby.

You can't ban links to TikTok or YouTube videos, because that would ban embedded videos.

You can't ban links to TikTok or YouTube accounts, because you need to keep those creators on the site. This is the point I made last night about @taylorlorenz, except much, much dumber.

I'm hoping today's Twitter news effectively puts to rest the idea that Musk is a genius of any kind.

He clearly doesn't understand why people use the platform (instant communication + promotion), and is just subjecting it to his whims.

Meanwhile, over on the Birdsite:

Teflon Mask and Crew be like, "We know that many believe that our cutting off our own nose was some sort of spiteful, petty overreaction carried out in a fit of pique at the recognition of our own face; not so! And to prove it, watch now as we cut off our ears and lips, as well."

@mmasnick the speed run of the failing 90s message board strategies continues.
