The Twitter Debate

If taken at face value, then the live tracking rule could eliminate many tweets and therefore accounts.

if I’m at a football game and post a photo of myself and there are random people in the background, I just doxxed their exact real time location. Most likely I have neither obtained and definitely didn’t document their approval.

Elon might reply that this scenario is not tracking data and therefore ok.  But what if the person in said background photo is Elon himself. Completely random that is him. Would I be violating this rule?

That depends on these rules

1. Does the photo make him look good?

2. Does the photo make him look bad?

if 1 is true then no

If 2 is true then yes 

simple

You really expect consistent policies from him? It’s what’s the flavor of the day and who is criticizing me sort of jerk reactions

Elon not only banned the Mastodon account, you now can’t post links to Mastodon (ie “here’s my mastodon link to find me if Twitter bans me”) either.

I’d say he’s noticed the migration occurring

Meanwhile mastodon admins are getting overwhelmed with a signup and utilization surge

I have decided to delete almost all of my old tweets and likes. It's a huge pain in the ass. Anyone have any experience with software that can do it?

[Lurch 5931]

What does this mean?

My impression is that advertisers on Twitter have an app they can use to manage where/how/who they target

The graph suggests the app is being used MUCH less which is likely proportional to Twitters resulting ad revenue

[Nice Guy Eddie 13523]

I can only imagine that most advertisers are only keeping their advertisers dollars on twitter because the money was already committed and they're risking that they won't be embarrassed.  But if their budget year ends on Dec. 31st, then will soon have all the time in the world to shift that budget to other platforms.

These rules are instituted on the whims of a billionaire surrounded by yes men who forgot what it feels like to be embarrassed. There won’t be time to actually implement said rules, as he’ll already have moved on to fresher embarrassments.

 

Basically, it’s Trump’s presidency.

You can't even DM someone anything with Mastodon in it.

Having said that, and after having accounts for 10 days on both,  Post.News is better in my opinion.

Yep. Can anyone tell me what Twitters TOS are, at this moment in time? I mean, other than “whatever Elon decides at any given moment?”
It truly is Hornfans, except not nearly as reasonable or consistent.

Well, you see, it's currently being written by a cadre of top men.

Probably will have the final draft ready for publishing in two weeks.

Closer to home, I remember when we had to find creative ways to talk about the Shag at Hornfans because despite having their blessing, it was a bannable offense to bring it up.

@Brisketexan, apparently the TOS was simplified and codified last night:

Was this the kid he disowned for being trans or some other kid?

I see by your adoption of gifs that you have been keeping notes.  Good on you buddy.

I just realized he suspended Aaron Rupar's account. He's clearly taking lists from right wing shit flops and complying. What a petty little cunt elon has turned out to be. 

[tchookem 3909]

I've been wondering, what do you think the longest amount of time he's gone without seeing one of his kids. He's got 10... I bet that he's gone 6 months without seeing one of them. You know a birthday has been missed.

How do you permanently delete a twitter account?  I googled it and says there's a "settings" tab under your profile pic, but I don't see it.  I opened one a few months ago to follow some mid-terms politicos and want to get the hell outta dodge now.  I'm not seeing the option anywhere on my home page.
