You can't download your Twitter account data if you're suspended, nor access your DMs. I had a bad feeling and downloaded my entire account this morning. Glad I did.

#Twitter is now marking some #Mastodon links as unsafe. Muskrat can't handle the fact Twitter is falling apart and his 'free speech' ego is trying everything to stay relevant

Decentralisation means less power in the hands of Big Tech, and more power the hands of digital communities.

Consider how suddenly there is a spike of #TwitterMigration as soon as Elmo bans several journalists, and their media orgs complain publicly.

Clear indication that if media orgs decided to move away from :birdsite:, others would follow.

And sure, these media orgs are now between a rock and a hard place, having to potentially leave their presence there built over a decade. But they put themselves there, by promoting walled gardens for a decade.

They have some reckoning and introspection to do.

A teenage girl's incurable cancer has been cleared from her body in the first use of a revolutionary new type of medicine.

All other treatments for Alyssa's leukaemia had failed.

So doctors at Great Ormond Street Hospital used "base editing" to perform a feat of biological engineering to build her a new living drug.

Six months later the cancer is undetectable, but Alyssa is still being monitored in case it comes back.

All those journalists banned on Twitter...and all the news organisations you work for - can you pls just set up on mastodon permanently. Short term transitional pain for long term gain.

@mastodonusercount Don't believe the dip!

The script relies on instances.social/ to work properly, and it's down. Hugged to death!

Twitter users are saying that the left-wing migration to Mastodon is exactly like the right-wing migration to Gab, Parler, MeWe, etc.

However, right now Twitter is begging, "Please don't go to Mastodon!"

When did they do that with Gab or Parler?

Everything about the Central Park jogger case was a travesty. Not only did sloppy police and prosecutorial work send five kids go to prison for a crime they didn't commit, but in closing the case, the actual assailant remained free to commit several more rapes and assaults.

In the south of Burkina Faso lies a small village called Tiébélé. It's home to the Kassena people; one of the oldest ethnic groups that settled in the region in the 15th century.

Tiébélé is known for their amazing traditional Gurunsi architecture and elaborately decorated walls of their homes.

Dating back to the 16th century, wall decorating has always been a community project done by the women.

#Twitter is outright lying to its users now, to prevent its competition from spreading.

No matter. We'll continue to grow. Please Boost this post and spread the word that Mastodon is being being deplatformed on Twitter.

Took a little over a month to go from "Elon making crude jokes about how Mastodon is lame" to "Elon banning not just Mastodon's account but also links to Mastodon servers because he considers it an existential threat to Twitter."

@johncarlosbaez Looks like even mathstodon has been declared social media non grata by Space Caligula.

Well, this is an interesting development. All Mastodon links apparently flagged as a threat on Twitter.

WOW. Elon Musk's Twitter straight-up banned the account for Mastodon. Just, wow.

Email is getting to the point where I have to choose between seeing dick pill messages or NOT seeing website account authentications.

I'd rather see dick pills than NOT see website account authentications.
