We figured out that we’re not allowed to encourage stalking, but if we call it “press coverage” of stalking then we can pretend it’s not stalking. The analogy doesn’t hold anywhere, child porn, drug sales, anything. This is a honeypot for the very lowest-performing flies. The traditional press may be gleefully rubbing its tiny legs together but the logic doesn’t survive first-order scrutiny.

It linked directly to ElonJet's account there and invited people to join and follow this account. That's probably what did it. https://web.archive.org/web/20221215174053/https://twitter.c...

He's confirmed from Mastodon: https://infosec.exchange/@micahflee/109520663450858280>
If you're thinking of trying Mastodon, I would recommend joining an interest-specific or locality-specific server rather than one of the general purpose servers, because the local community is likely to be stronger and more engaged. You can always jump ship later if you find it's not your thing Some examples: - https://fosstodon.org for FOSS - https://infosec.exchange for infosec - https://sfba.social for the bay are…
Im very surprised that, among techies, there aren't more people running their own instance as a solo user, so that they can own the entire username including the domain name. It's what I did for myself (Follow me! @jerome@leclan.ch), following Simon Willison's post: https://til.simonwillison.net/mastodon/custom-domain-mastodo...
It’s been working for a few years now and (luckily) I never had major incidents.

Last time I looked into Mastodon (a couple years ago), I found a small, specific community that piqued my interest. Months later, the owner of the instance lost interest and closed it. In the end I never registered, but, what would have happened if I did and started to use it in my day to day? Would I wake up one day to find out that I no longer have a Mastodon account? I feel the response might be something akin to…
The Covenant includes a commitment from server admins to give users at least 3 months of advance warning in case of shutting down

So.. free speech works best when everyone you don't agree with is silenced? Here's what Musk said in April ( https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1518623997054918657 ): "I hope that even my worst critics remain on Twitter, because that is what free speech means" I think you all need to make up your minds.

I was suspended for posting this https://infosec.exchange/@micahflee/109520648205436407
Could you post a screenshot of the suspension notice you got from Twitter? Does it say which "rule" was allegedly broken?
