Lol, now Twitter doesn't let you post Mastadon links

It is a hilarious trainwreck.

The saddest part is that Elon's fanbase still thinks that he is a benevolent genius and the savior of humanity not a narcissistic conman

Cults be like that. Or maybe I should say fanboys be like that. Same diff, really.

It's just so hard having independent ideas and beliefs. It's just so much easier to just Drink the Free Beer. DWI's are for other people anyways.

This is probably not much of a surprise to folks that actually care what E.suck says:

My favorite part was Fauci's original answer:
"On Sunday, entrepreneur Elon Musk called for your prosecution, claiming that you lied to Congress and funded research that killed millions of people. How do you respond to the tweets?

I don’t pay attention to that, Max, and I don’t feel I need to respond. I don’t tweet. I don’t have a Twitter account. A lot of that stuff is just a cesspool of misinformation, and I don’t waste a minute worrying about it."

... unfortunately, Falsi couldn't keep his story straight, and contradicted himself in the next Answer. Oh well.
I do actually worry about the CDC meddling in Social Engineering.
They've gone after Gun Owners before...

Rich Fucks fighting, why should I care?

Wait it there are cults that give out alcohol, all the cults I've joined had kool aid, I feel ripped off.

Unlike you, I'm not a quitter.

(Corrected. Your irrational bias is showing.)

...not really. He doesn't particularly worry about Twitter, but he's still got plenty of other idiots to worry about.

Thanks for clarifying. Fauci's biggest problem is that he's just doesn't understand how easy it is for people to misread what anyone speaking publicly says. And I wasn't intentionally looking for a contradiction, it just seemed to be there.

[Starver]

Compared to the current Chief Twit, and especially the ex-Twit of the Whitehouse, I think he knows (and cares) far more about how his every public utterance has consequences.

But anyone looking for an apparent slip can always find one, at least to their own particular satisfaction. As proven. What's the solution to that? No longer actually be the attempted voice of reason and science, just let anything said by anyone else (uninformed/misinformed/malinforming) go through on the nod? Might be personally easier, but wouldn't be more correct.

There are some for whom it is best to stay quiet, and be thought to not have any sensible opinions; rather than pipe up, and thence remove all doubt. But, however imperfect, Fauci has been shown to be far more correct than wrong; and, when considering the total guff out there (with or without his doing his actual job) being spewed by those whose 'job' seems not to involve any form of "truth clause", possibly even the reverse...

In other words, you probably don't actually understand Fauci's biggest problems at all.

So now links to Facebook, Instagram, Mastadon, etc are against Twitter's updated TOS. LOL

Yeah, it will help to keep people on Twitter, Elon

(I strongly suspect that some countries have laws against such gatekeeping behavior. Lawsuits will be hillarious)

This is where the Twitter policy banning some links is posted. I'm not sure how these clauses are intended to work together...

"What is a violation of this policy?"

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

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.

"What is not a violation of this policy?"

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

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.

As long as the moderating is via human rather than AI, it's just another way for Twitter's new owner to bust your balls.

I found this most telling:

Clearly written without an appreciation of the English Language, or at least the necessary legal nicities to rationalise the inconsistencies...

To quote Inigo Montoya "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

[King Zultan]

I'm still wondering when this pile of stupid policies and contradictions will collapse into the flaming pile it belongs in.
