Does it depend on your location? I am in EU and the page does not exist.
You are a few hours late, they've changed their mind again already

#763(from another thread) Any attorneys want to weigh in on whether - or when - this becomes an anti-competitive/anti-trust concern, either in the US (FTC) or the EU? Related reading: * Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) Article 102, on abusive conduct by companies that have a dominant position in a market: https://competition-policy.ec.europa.eu/antitrust/procedures... .

Apparently Twitter would likely loose in Germany if this ever gets in front of a court, ironically due to free of opinion -> https://sueden.social/@Anwalt_Jun/109536044985684272
Twitter is bought as a Us elections influence play. The majority of international employees have been laid off and it will be defaulting on its legal obligations in those countries as a result. None of this squares with his proclaimed mission.
People need to stop taking Elon at face value and instead look at the actions. He’s just plagiarizing the Trump playbook and got ahead of the biggest flaw Trump had, not having his own platform to continue operating once he got tried his coup.

#765Banning links to Facebook? Really? This flying by the seat of the pants moderation style reminds me of friends in highschool running their own phpBB instances and IRC channels.. Also, Telegram, Discord, Tumblr aren't listed? Lol.

#766Earlier quoted context omitted.
I wasn’t able to find anyone I know, and the incoming discovery feeds were people I didn’t know anything about talking about stuff I wasn’t interested in. Overall it was just really quiet and felt empty. Maybe this means I joined the wrong server, not sure. Eventually it seems someone deleted the server I was on, I am not sure if I can do anything about that or not. When I first joined Twitter it seemed like more peo…
It sounds like another server would’ve served you better - but I get what you’re saying, it’s not only that, it’s the nature of Mastodon (or, ActivityPub, I guess). Servers basically only know about their own users, and people they follow. I joined Twitter in the fairly early days, and my network grew from tech folks I’d met in real life out (‘Are you on Twitter? What’s your handle?’ was a common refrain at meetups a…
Thanks for the advice, I’ll give it a shot.

#768The linked page is already gone again. I'm getting a 404. Looks like Twitter is moving and breaking things a bit too fast at the moment.

There is a whole section on how cross posting is permitted: https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/social-platfo... > What is not a violation of this policy? > We recognize that certain social media platforms provide alternative experiences to Twitter, and allow users to post content to Twitter from these platforms. In general, any type of cross-posting to our platform is not in violation of this policy, even…
"Cross-posting" is generally understood to mean posting the same content to different sites, not merely linking to a post. The policy is...not at all clear. I don't know what they mean by posting content "from" a prohibited site. They don't specifically mention a link.
Honestly I think this is all over thinking it:
> "In general, "
That's all you need to know. Those two words imply "but for -specific cases- there are other criteria".
Looking at the positive side: Now you get to police yourself and/or get to know yourself: will you bend your will to yet another digital tyrant and self-police your self-expression? Will every time you are ready to press that "send" button on a post with links give you pause, thinking "I think, "in general", I am toeing the line, o Supreme Leader, please please let me stay. Monetize me, do with me as you will, but please, just let me tweet!"
We're making a society of digital sheep, "are you in?"
p.s. all these efforts by various tech giants, including those who hold your 'email address' hostage such as Alphabet, are infringing on your digital identity, which they believe they own and control.
And without a durable independent identity, who are you in digital "society"? How could there ever be "democracy" in a "digital society" when people can be erased just like that?
