    Aus der Kategorie "Twitter dreht jetzt komplett frei": Man darf auf #Twitter nicht mehr auf andere Netzwerke verweisen:
    • "Twitter will no longer allow free promotion of specific social media platforms on Twitter."
    • "Prohibited platforms: Facebook, Instagram, Mastodon, Truth Social, Tribel, Post and Nostr"
    • "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."
    • "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."
    Es könnte also sein, dass meine Zeiten auf Twitter tatsächlich demnächst ein Ende finden - Wobei: In der Liste der Plattformen steht ja "Mastodon" und nicht das Fediverse an sich. Also müsste Friendica ja eigentlich okay sein 😀

    I missed it, but it appears that #OpenBazaar is gone. Their #Twitter account has some details (from early 2021).

    OB was a fee-free peer-to-peer marketplace. I think it was based on #cryptocurrencies ... at least #Bitcoin #BTC.

    > BREAKING NEWS: Gargron is no longer the most followed person on mastodon. This is great news (no offence to

    @gargron ) as it signifies the network is growing to be more independent of its most famous developer.

    > The new most followed person is
    @georgetakei@universeodon.com

    So let me tell you why this is NOT a good thing. George Takei is a celebrity actor. That people are crawling after actors and other celebs means that the #Twitter migration is bringing their culture (with all its flaws) here. Again, as they did this before during #Mastodon's early growth. Much Masto culture is merely Twitter and Tumblr culture, sometimes reflected in a mirror and sometimes adopted wholesale.

    Thankfully, the #Fediverse is more than just Mastodon.

    Since the #Twitter siege against journalists and alternative #socnet platforms began a few hours ago, the number of new #Mastodon accounts started surging again.

    > +3,992 in the last hour
    > +29,495 in the last day

    This doesn't count GS, Friendica, Pleroma, Misskey, Epicyon, PixelFed, or any other #Fediverse platform.

    @geniusmusing Also, this drastically reduces the utility of the platform. When something happens--an event, a news story, a tragedy--people turn to #Twitter because the people in the know are there. Severe weather, earthquake, flood, all of them are reported on Twitter, sometimes with links to a news or agency report. California Highway Patrol even puts its AMBER alerts there.

    @geniusmusing I guess that means that any journalist that uses #Twitter should be opening one or more backup accounts in the #Fediverse and using it enough to be familiar and ready ... and giving their current audience enough heads up so they know where to find their chosen news sources.

    1. Twitter is considering forcing users to let the company sell their data and phone numbers to advertisers, in potential breach of Apple rules

      Users might be able to opt out if they susbcribe to $8 Twitter Blue – but that would breach Apple rules on data sharing, Platformer reports.

    1. Elon Musk’s Bankers Consider Tesla Margin Loans to Cut Risky Twitter Debt
      from Bloomberg.com
      Elon Musk’s bankers are considering replacing some of the high-interest debt he layered on Twitter Inc. with new margin loans backed by Tesla Inc. stock that he’d be personally responsible for re-paying, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

    https://prodromou.pub/@evan/109498060348615260

    @evan@prodromou.pub @evan@identi.ca ( and formerly @evan@e14n.com ) has said this a few times, but here it is again.

    "Every time you post on Twitter, you produce value for the advertisers.

    You tell everyone in your network there that it's OK to stay. That you're all helpless to leave.

    You tell the people who've lost their jobs, the people who are being hounded and harassed, that they are not important to you.

    You know you're going to be ashamed of it later.

    Just stop posting.

    Do it here, not there. Connect here, not there.

    Don't reply, don't like, don't retweet.

    Stop feeding your life into the machine."

    This was true before Elon #Musk bought #Twitter, but I guess it wasn't as important before.

    I don't fully agree, simply because there may be some advantages to many people who continue to use Twitter instead of moving to the #Fediverse (e.g., #GNU_Social, #Mastodon, #Pleroma, #Misskey, #PixelFed, #Lenny / #Lemmy, etc) or they would have moved over already.

    Also, because unless one self-hosts one's own presence, an angry instance admin is all it takes to lose all posts and connections and have to start over. Or, if one has contacts on a different instance, then irate instance admins participating in #blockwars (including #fediblock) can separate the person from some portion of their contacts.

    So remember, everything that Twitter is or can do to you, your Fediverse instance can also do. Most instances will never do most of those things, but pretending that one is safe here could result in disappointment in the future.

    Tagging this thread with #Fediverse #Security ... whomever made the script obviously read some protocol docs and some source code. With just a little #JavaScript, they were able to knock some #Misskey and #Mastodon instances to their knees.

    This isn't the first, and it won't be the last. Remember when someone posted a humongous image and locked up any #GNUSocial instance that tried to download the image? Remember when someone's instance was replaced by some sort of cryptocurrency site and PuSH es from your site to theirs would crash your site because of their site's response? (I'll bet I still have that domain blocked at the firewall.)

    We have to stop being naive about the intentions of those in the current migration. The overwhelming majority will have benign, if not good, intentions. But a select few will have bad intentions. Among those intentions is to colonize the Fediverse with #Twitter's culture, to come here and impose that culture of anger and disrespect upon the inhabitants here ... which already happened once with the first wave of people joining #Mastodon instance, except it was Twitter and #Tumblr at that time.

    1. Elon Musk Might've Inadvertently Sparked a Senate Investigation Into Twitter
      from TMZ
      Elon Musk's snarky response to a U.S Senator who wanted answers on Twitter Blue's new verification process might just land him in front of Congress to testify ... because the lawmaker sits on some key subcommittees.

    Unanswered: will his lenders go after him for fraud if he files BK? By him making #Twitter fail so badly so quickly, I think they should be able to prove it in civil court.

    Also, I wonder whether they made him put up Tesla and / or SpaceX ownership as collateral. If they only relied on Twitter assets, they'll be lucky to get 50% (and I'd guess 20% is more likely, as most of the company's value was as "a going concern").
