I'll be honest I was expecting paulsurovell to tell us why the twitter bird is a Shiba Inu now. Does Elon Musk have a Shiba Inu? On my phone it's still a white bird on a blue background. But on my laptop...
It's a little "Elon humor". The dog is the "Doge Coin" dog. Don't worry, Mr. Surovell is on it.
Hard to see how Elon stans can defend this. For those who claim Musk is a free speech champion, he clearly isn't. And for those who claim he's a savvy businessman, they could point to this as his just trying to shut down a competitor, but in the context of all the other decisions he's been taking to tank ad revenue and drive away users, it just comes across as another haphazard decision made on a whim.

This is the same type of thinking that went into Elon making his Teslas incompatible with any charging stations other than Elon's.

One difference there is that, when Tesla started, it didn't have a lot of competition in the EV space, whereas Twitter is already starting from behind in the social media space.

The article said that Elon was miffed that Substack was rolling out a Twitter-like product, so Elon's trying to protect the space that the Twitter is already in.

Oh, is substack getting into the manchild petulant billionaire business?

I think that's why they recruited Glenn Greenwald, to start with the manchild petulant millionaires.
"Twitter Files" update - Matt Taibbi can't link to his reporting on the Substack from the Twitter, either.
Matt Taibbi emails subscribers to his Substack saying he will no longer be using Twitter because of the platform's restrictions on engaging with Substack links pic.twitter.com/o6o6ZswxDO
1. Substack links were never blocked. Matt’s statement is false.
2. Substack was trying to download a massive portion of the Twitter database to bootstrap their Twitter clone, so their IP address is obviously untrusted.
Our landlord at SF HQ says we’re legally required to keep sign as Twitter & cannot remove “w”, so we painted it background color. Problem solved! pic.twitter.com/1iFjccTbUq
Seems like thinking 'Titter' and renaming themselves 'Harry Bolz' are things someone would do, thinking they are hilarious, when they are high as a kite.
"Twitter has quietly removed a policy against the 'targeted misgendering or deadnaming of transgender individuals,' raising concerns that the Elon Musk-owned platform is becoming less safe for marginalized groups.
"Twitter enacted the policy against deadnaming, or using a transgender person’s name before they transitioned, as well as purposefully using the wrong gender for someone as a form of harassment, in 2018."
Re: the policy of branding the BBC as govt funded: Twitter has done the same to our ABC too, totally misunderstanding the basis of the relationship and the legislation behind it. It totally undermines 90 years of objective news history and highly respected international reporting values. im quite disgusted, and very glad I don’t have a Twitter account.
Microsoft is going to drop Twitter from its Microsoft Advertising plan next week, according to the company.
"Starting on April 25, 2023, Smart Campaigns with Multi-platform will no longer support Twitter," Microsoft said. A similar email has begun to go out to Microsoft Advertising users stating that "Digital Marketing Center (DMC) will no longer support Twitter starting on April 25, 2023."
From that date, users will no longer be able to access their Twitter account through its Digital Marketing Center's social media management tool, according to Microsoft. Users will also no longer be able to schedule, create, or manage tweets or tweet drafts. In addition, users won't be able to view their past tweets and engagement on the Microsoft Advertising platform.

Some people still advertising on Twitter
FIRST: I led the impeachment against Trump.
THEN: Kevin McCarthy removed me from the House Intel Committee.
NOW: I’m running for Senate to represent millions of Californians (including McCarthy).
Will you donate now to help me become his Senator?
Ah, I see.
How many k's should we have in "sick" again?
