Agreed. And the fact they are blocking mastodon shows it must be impacting Twitter user numbers.
Or, just as likely, mastodon users are elon critics and thus hurt his feelings, which is a bannable offense.
Thus mastodon cross-posting and reposting is a proxy for bannable offenses, and therefore a bannable offense.

#24Every news outlet, and perhaps journalist associations such as the NUJ, should set up their own mastodon instance now and advertise that that's how to avoid Musk's blocks. There's no need for them to take this lying down.

Because most of the tech sphere is all in when it comes to rooting for a certain political side and for its associated worldview, some call it “liberal” but is anything but. They deserve everything that is coming their way, after 2+ years of those people banning and cancelling other people and stuff based on “science!” and the like (I’m triple vaccinated, adding this because it needs to be added, as that’s the level…

The timing is very suspicious. But that’s the excuse I would use in court for anti-competitive pratices

why can't I post links to my mastodon.social posts then? (I'm on Twitter, and I've been in Mastodon for many years -- this hasn't been the case before). Can you post links to mastodon.social on Twitter?
Imagine buying something for $44 billion and due to your own actions causing a mass exodus to Mastodon. Of course you're going to try and make the exodus as hard as possible.
And by that same action (and others) confirm explicitly to everyone that your stated reasons for buying the platform were bullshit and you are in fact a hypocrite with dictatorial tendencies.
Thus reinforcing the reasons for people leaving.
