Are we watching musk "get" radicalized? Or has he always been that way? Because I remember way back, when journalists would write poor reviews of Tesla, he would go after them... typically accusing them of being compromised in some way, or not really being a journalist. Then there's the swatting of a tesla wistleblower. Or when a customer was "rude", he canceled their tesla pre-order. Or when that tesla employee post…
So he’s just like Bill Gates in the 90’s. A little douche with an ego and deceptive business practices. Not sure why no one mentions his asperger's syndrome because that’s an obvious mastodon in the room.

I see what you did there

ElonJet pointed out where the flight was. The journalists simply pointed out that ElonJet was using public data from the FAA. So no, its not considered doxxing. All airplanes must be tracked, otherwise there's a chance that they'll crash into each other. If you don't like that, then maybe don't fly in a private jet all the time. Share your jet with others. Or God forbid, use a cheaper, more efficient, better-for-the-…

The Journalists he banned were not named Jack Sweeney.
Also, Jack Sweeney is just posting data from this webpage: https://www.adsbexchange.com/
Its not like Jack Sweeney actually has ABS-B detectors of his own. All airplanes in the USA are going to have to have their ABS-B transponders on, to prevent mid-air collisions. You must broadcast your location at all times.

Agreed. And the fact they are blocking mastodon shows it must be impacting Twitter user numbers.
Mastodon wouldn't have become so popular if it weren't for all these Elon actions. Elon is single-handedly leading a massive 'Streisand Marketing' campaign to sublime perfection.
It's true, I have no idea what Mastodon is, but if some bastard's trying to stop me finding out about it, I am going to go and find out about it right now!

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you but when they start fighting you, you know you've won.
It has to first get a little more extreem. They have to not just fight but start killing. Look at Napster. Napster was attacked and eventually died. But napster also won. CD sales are dead and we all download/stream music online. Mastadon will soon be attacked directly. It will also probably die as napster: a first cassualty of a revolution. What matters are the long-term changes that survive.
Napster didn’t kill CD sales. iTunes/iPods did

I agree with some of what you wrote, especially regarding selfhosting. I personally would like to see the ability to follow and post to local timelines, to ensure that you're able to be part of communities in a decentralised way. However. > you're basically required to trust your online identity and private message secrecy to an anonymous activist admin with a kitty avatar. Is this worse than trusting Twitter, Facebo…
> Is this worse than trusting Twitter, Facebook, or TikTok? Yes for the first two, no for the third. US-based companies are large targets for potential lawsuits, and consequently have processes in place to prevent random employees from accessing your DMs without cause. I obviously wouldn't trust those companies completely -- we're really arguing about probabilities here -- but there's at least some measure of account…
It's not about them being read, it's about them being used against me. Being scraped and weaponised to train some algorithm to exploit me. That's the issue I have.

There are ways. Placing regulatory burdens or legal liabilities on anyone running a social media instance would quickly make Mastadon untenable. Something as simple as manditory age verification might be enough.
GDPR exists right now, actually, and most instances are far from in compliance.
How are they not in compliance?
Re: Twitter's anti-Mastodon filter evasion
#209Glad to see Twitter is doing this. The reason Musk bought Twitter was to rid it of the type of behavior you frequently see on m6n. It's a direct competitor to Twitter. Twitter is a commercial product and needs to maintain its users and revenue. It'd be foolish for it to amplify a coordinated attacked on its existence by the very people who very publicly advocate for the destruction of Twitter. I'm sure many people wi…
