I've exited from tech and am doing guided tours in and around Yellowstone.

Thanks to everyone for some great years! This will be my last post here. 🐬
Just have to try posting this here…

Elon banned journalist Dell Cameron over this perfectly reasonable reporting. Free speech? I don’t think so. If you’re still active on Twitter, WHY are you still active on Twitter?

This is a great illustration of why I’m not active here anymore. I encourage you to come join me on Mastodon, rather than staying on a platform ruined by a self-obsessed man-child.

Elon Musk is now saying that only Twitter blue subscribers should be able to vote on polls affecting Twitter policies.
He promised us free speech, but he is giving us poll taxes.

Elon Musk plans to restrict policy polls to paying Twitter Blue users. The billionaire’s announcement came on the same day that users voted decisively in a poll for him to step down as chief executive of the social media platform reut.rs/3hISn2T

Musk now claiming his OWN POLL, run on a platform that HE OWNS, was rigged against him.
Beyond parody.

Folks, the time to run debirdify.pruvisto.org or fedifinder.glitch.me is now.
You don't need to have an account elsewhere yet. Download the CSVs while you can, and you can import them later.

All the most dangerous and hateful right-wing extremists on Twitter have their Gab, Gettr, and Parler accounts linked in their bios.
Notice how those social media sites are not included in #QElon's banned list?
FYI, all I’m going to be doing here anymore is tweeting reasons you should leave Twitter. I’m spending most of my time over on Mastodon these days.

(Breaking the link because Twitter is marking Mastodon links as “harmful.” 🤨)
Is there any doubt that Elmo is the weakest, most thin-skinned excuse for a man? Banning journalists who criticize his policies, identifying a competing social network as “malware,” etc? “Free speech” my ass…

Let this sink in: @elonmusk hath decreed that all links to Mastodon should be flagged as malware. This is, of course, a baldfaced lie, and he knows it. So the CEO of Twitter is lying to everyone on Twitter, and to all its advertisers, even to all of his defenders.

Please, folks, stop supporting this platform. There’s no reason to continue to provide free content to a man crying about free speech (for Nazis) who then goes and deletes posts he doesn’t like - along with, apparently, the accounts posting them. Move to Mastodon.
Replying to @paleofuture
Apparently all the videos of Elon Musk getting booed at Dave Chappelle's show got deleted from Twitter for some mysterious reason.
But I saved them all because I try to be helpful. They should be in the article again. gizmodo.com/elon-musk-booed-…

Retweet if you were part of one of those tiny first 4 bars.

NEW: The boot camp MyTechBestFriend (#MTBF) and its founder are being accused of bullying its students and plagiarizing affordable tech course material to sell for up to $6k to students.
I looked into the fallout that had #MTBF trending for a week.

There are definitely some growing pains on Mastodon, but it’s got an extremely active infosec community. I’m spending more time over there these days, and less here on Twitter (or $8chan, as it’s being referred to over there 😄).
