Twitter is now reportedly (?) preventing people from adding the URL of their Mastodon profile as a "website" link on their Twitter profile. I've seen some who try, get an error message from Twitter rejecting the link as "malware".

I am glad that Musk still has a dedicated staff of developers to help him continue to....improve Twitter.

I keep vaguely wondering if all of the "People flee Twitter for Mastodon" is blown out of proportion. But this. This tells me that its actually making a hit and affecting Twitter.

Holy crap

I had heard that Musk was so upset about how badly it went in that "Twitter spaces" thing where the journalists were questioning him that he ragequit and shortly afterwards suspended the owner of the "space", but I just learned that he didn't just do that, he evidently completely removed the Twitter spaces feature from the service entirely.

What an infant, haha

I read somewhere today the reason he did that is he couldn't restrict specific individuals from the twitter spaces feature because a bug let them in and he had fired all the engineers responsible for that part of code so no one knew how to do that. So he shut down the whole thing.

I think we're all learning more and more about Elon Musk every day.

I wish we didn't have to, though.

Why can't he simply go and live in a volcano and launch space ships and play with a Persian cat while he plots world domination like any normal super-rich Bond villain?

Of course the Russians, because Trump without Twitter does not work! So they had to finance this little shit platform for Trump to do his "magic"...

I don't think it's simply Trump -- they want to have free access to Twitter for organisations like the Internet Research Agency in St P, so they can flood the channels with disinformation, rumour and astroturfing, so no one knows what's true any more.
