You probably won’t even have to try that hard to evade automated detection and simply overwhelm their moderation team, which I presume is now tiny.
I use FB, Twitter, Insta, TikTok, LinkedIn, Discord, etc for a variety of purposes and find and share great content across platforms.
Just another money grab — doesn’t make it much nicer but not an outright ban.
Note that Mastodon is third in the list. I consider that a success. 1. They ignore you. 2. They laugh at you. 3. They fight you. <<<--- we are here. 4. You win.
I mean, what a great way to find out about alternatives. I'd never heard of "Post" and "Nostr".
This policy makes Twitter the least free speech social media platform available.
I wonder how this will work for official Twitter accounts for those other social media platforms? Will @facebook be banned/blocked?
Also what about news services that link to a longer form story on alternative platforms?
"Thin-skinned narcissist buys criticism machine." This is not "free speech absolutism" in the slightest. It's not even business-savvy. Elon's mask has truly cracked, and he proves he is nothing but a febrile mind who has bought into his own hype.

This is a sign of a bad product.
Seems reasonable. Let's all remember the spirit of '20, everyone: Twitter is a private company, if you don't like it build your own twitter!
It's his business, but that doesn't necessarily rationalize it. Jack Dorsey's Twitter, for as oblivious and misguided as it was, didn't stop people from connecting on other sites. This is a top-down decision to lock everyone in the Hellsite, and I'm pretty sure this will be the tipping point for most average users.
I don't think so. Musk is doing the same thing Trump did - a new outrage every day to keep the masses coming back. It's far more important to generate controversy than anything else and he can get a whole new day of Twitter views when he changes the policy again next week.
If Twitter was trying to find a way to alienate big accounts who otherwise haven't been affected by the drama so far, it would be this.
