Of course he did.

It Took Just Four Days From Elon Gleefully Admitting He’d Unplugged A Server Rack For Twitter To Have A Major Outage

He’s an attention whore. He’ll keep letting Nazis on the platform and aiding Putin. I made the right decision to leave it.

Of course, that I understand owns , and that he is NOT committed to providing an actual social media service -- AND IS NOT REQUIRED TO -- is why I’m here on Mastodon and have my Twitter account in the genizah!

(Albeit erased.)

Unfortunately there are various people -- keyboard warriors, journalists with large readership, people who did business thanks to Twitter, people who are merely stubborn, etc. -- who will not understand this.

I think people still aren’t ‘getting it’:

is just the guy that OWNS .

He is not LORD EMPEROR of the World.

You say he is squelching your writing? Tough noogies. He can’t stop you writing the same stuff here or elsewhere!

You point out you have way more readers there? Cry me a river. What happened to your vaunted principles! You’ll use any channel if it has the readers, eh?

‘My readers depend on me.’ THEN THEY’LL FOLLOW YOU. Otherwise, they DIDN’T depend on you.

Musk shadow bans the Twitter account tracking his jet
boingboing.net/2022/12/12/musk

Account is still active. He ought to consider getting a mastodon account.

I just looked at my Home feed on Twitter. There were just the politicians I followed, some people too stubborn to leave, etc. And not a single ad.

My home feed was still MAYHEM just yesterday or the day before. I did follow-backs, after all. I only rarely used it. I read via private list.

This was as clean as my private list.

It's like a big, empty chamber.
