@tapbot_paul I'd absolutely love a Tweetbot replacement for Mastodon, I'll be an active beta tester if you have a spare invitation to Ivory. 🤘🏼

26/ As Adam points out, yes, sometimes people get prosecuted for simply editing a URL to get to things that may not be intended, and writing small scripts like that simply increment the number.
The courts haven't yet figured out whether it's actually a crime.

1/ Okay, time to use a Visa gift card and a disposable e-mail address and explore the technical details behind this "Trump NFT". I'm posting this thread to Twitter even though I suspect most followers are Mastodon (meaning, 280char limitation).

Musk has just banned live reporting and basically all tweeting about stuff that's happening. All so he could justify ex post facto banning someone he publicly promised not to ban for violating a policy he hadn't invented yet.

Twitter suspended the account following Elon's jet but not the one following Jeff Bezos' jet. Even though they do the same thing and are run by the same guy. Why does @elonmusk hate free speech when the speech is about Elon Musk?

On Sunday I emailed Ella Irwin, Twitter's "Product & Trust leader," to ask if this purported leaked screenshot was real. She hasn't responded. Given that @elonjet has now been permanently suspended, I guess we can assume it was. twitter.com/JxckSweeney/st…

Hey remember when Trump let prisoner Maria Butina go home to Russia and not swapping her for Paul Whelan? It’s almost as if he was on team Russia.

@jonostrower He said as much at the end of the thread, it was just for fun with the star matching twitter.com/johnmcelhone8/…

9. The press conference to reveal the aircraft was held here last week so we can confirm the location. A guess likely would have landed someone in the same location but fun anyway to star match. I'm sure this entire process could be done with just stars and no google maps as well

@bariweiss wow. did you even read the blog post? We never denied de-amplifying things. In fact we made clear that we do rank. We defined exactly what we meant by “shadow banning” (b/c there are many definitions) and made very clear that we didn’t do *that*…

New Twitter policy is freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach.
Negative/hate tweets will be max deboosted & demonetized, so no ads or other revenue to Twitter.
You won’t find the tweet unless you specifically seek it out, which is no different from rest of Internet.

@elonmusk Just one bit of acknowledgement that you maybe didn’t handle this brilliantly, after which you could reassure everyone that you’d listen and be responsible. Everything would get 1000x times better overnight. But you’d rather destroy everything than be embarrassed for a second.

12 years ago, Twitter’s office used a Mac Mini to tunnel into the servers. One day, an IT guy found it in the closet.
“Anyone know who owns this?”
“Unplug it. Someone will show up.”
Everyone lost access to servers. Huge crisis. It became known as the “Load Bearing Mac Mini.”

Watching crypto sink after hitting an economic iceburg, seeing the GOP eat pavement after getting exactly what they wanted, and seeing emperor Elon has no clothes is too much schadenfreude after a 6 years of bad news.
Now I'm paranoid there's something lurking around the corner
