Wow. PG did not even post any links, he pretty much just said "I have a Mastodon account." And just like that, banned. Looks like now you're not allowed to so much as mention that you use other websites on the internet besides Twitter.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I’m guessing he got banned for posting this?
Banned for posting a link to his personal website (which has links to his other social media profiles) Ridiculous.
How many levels deep does their new policy go? It sounds like they violated it not Paul...
Paul and I disagree on a lot (I've struggled to remember to not post like a Redditor here) but dear lord -- last I looked at HN, it said the guy was leaving Twitter, and Paul doesn't seem like the type to troll on his way out like I am.
This is absurd.
For context: I'm an amateur comedian in addition to being a hacker. Every set I've done IRL I've asked folks not to record or quote, and had that honored. I specialize in observational comedy -- often rude, insulting observations that approach the limits of American style free expression that I won't repeat here. I've encountered folks who can't take a joke before, but dear lord, the levels of petty coming from Elon Musk are off the charts.
Or as I'd say if it was open mic night in an undisclosed location in Appalachia:
"Big 'You're not breaking up with me I'm breaking up with you' energy on the bird site tonight ladies and gentlemen."
Elon Musk is going the way of Will Smith in terms of public goodwill and adoration! There's no turning back!
It’s getting really hard for Musk supporters to justify him.

You are wrong about what PG said. In fact, his Tweet included an explanation of where to find a link to his Mastodon account. Elon has made it clear that these blatant attempts at ban evasion are not allowed.
It's not what the TOS say though.

Possibly malicious enforcement by Twitter staff in light of https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1604593057676300288 “Casually sharing occasional links is fine, but no more relentless advertising of competitors for free, which is absurd in the extreme”
Someone tweeted that it’s not possible to screenshot the new terms on mobile. This makes me wonder if preventing tweet exports and DRM are next on the list. Can widevine be applied here even if in a somewhat hacky way?
