Users have complained of a range of issues including disappearing timelines, and an inability to retrieve tweetsRachel Flynn (The Independent)
Time to let the blue bird fly out of the fascist cage and let yourself roam freely with your #Mastodon community 🐘🐘🐘🐘

The ONE thing that place was good at was breaking global news. But not now.
See everyone here tonight.

#FB was created as a macho website and it's become a toxic space.
Maybe the #Fediverse should have a vote if it really wants to be hooked up to such a place?
Any individuals would still be free to join.
If #Meta were #Twitter, I'm sure about the vote.
#Meta is in the same league, though.
#FOSS does not mean that corporations can all join, regardless of their behavior + agenda.

It is NOT true that #Twitter has an algorithm — but Mastodon doesn't. That is untrue.
Mastodon just has a different algorithm.
Mastodon is software — ALL SOFTWARE HAVE ALGORITHMS.
Mastodon just has a different algorithm. A simpler algorithm.
Mastodon's algorithm is — to display the posts of the people and hash-tags you follow, in the order they are posted, with newest posts being displayed first, and oldest last.
But @mmasnick@mastodon.social reports on something even more wild: Twitter's autocomplete is recommending potential CSAM and animal torture content.
If you still have a Twitter account, you might want to think about closing it -- at least, for your own safety.

Important Things At Twitter Keep Breaking, And Making The Site More Dangerous
It turns out that if you fire basically all of the competent trust & safety people at your website, you end up with a site that is neither trustworthy, nor safe. We’ve spent months covering way…Techdirt

Probleme mit Twitter Connector
Ich wurde von einem User darauf aufmerksam gemacht, dass seine Posts bei #Twitter nicht mehr ankommen. Eine Überprüfung bei Twitter hat ergeben, dass meine Twitter-App für Friendica gesperrt wurde, angeblich wegen Verstoss der Regeln. Hat sonst wer die selber Erfahrung gemacht?
Ich versuchte eine neue App zu erstellen, jedoch funktioniert das Posten nicht (mit den Consumer Keys). Ich habe anschliessend Authentication Tokens mit read and write permissions erstellt, diese in Friendica eingegeben, aber das scheint auch nicht zu funktionieren.
Hat wer einen Tipp? - Danke!

- Before Elon Musk: Checkmark is attributed discretionarily, mainly to prevent impersonation.
- After Elon Musk:
- Twitter Blue subscription is introduced that grants the checkmark.
- Impersonation immediately ensues. Twitter answers by preventing Checkmark accounts from changing their display name.
- Checkmark is divided in three colors: Gold for companies, Blue for individuals, Grey for government.
- Checkmark is derided for being bought out. As a response Twitter Blue subscribers ask for their checkmark to be hidden.
- Prominent accounts (like Beyoncé) lose their checkmark.
- Prominent accounts that kept their checkmark (like Ron Perlman) defend themselves from claims they have subscribed to Twitter Blue.
- Twitter Blue subscription is introduced that grants the checkmark.
Am I missing anything? Even https://twitterisgoinggreat.com can't keep up with the madness.
Same with Musk. Or Trump. Or any other thing you think some of your audience doesn't want to see. Just say the word and let people mute that word. Please.

what do you think, should we have a possibility to delete Twitter accounts from Friendica?
I have a few dozen Twitter contacts in #Friendica from earlier when it was possible to interact with #Twitter users from within Friendica.
So I would like to be able to select several of them and then be able to delete them or preferably say "delete all Twitter contacts" and it will remove them all, including the posts from Twitter, aka. Tweets.
But definitely don’t trust *anything* to be private there. Or to work, like, at all. 😄
People now see tweets from folks who blocked them, Circles leak tweets, and more. I’m leaning more into my theory that this is a deliberate dismantling of a tool that gave regular people too much power to organize.
Shouldn’t we have heard grumblings from investors who are angry at this shitshow? 🤔
Hehe, “Phony Stark.”

Don't do that.
Anyone else notice it has been quite rickety recently?
In November, he outlined a vision for Twitter that effectively tries to replicate his old vision by grafting it onto the ailing social media platform. I explain why it’s doomed to fail and what it tells us about Elon Musk.

It definitely feels different than when my #Facebook account was frozen in 2016 for using this pseudonym I've worn for 17 years now. Back then, I was just brutally faced with the facts, I didn't have any agency which made the move to the #Fediverse straightforward, I didn't have any other choice.
This time, I've had to actually make up my mind about leaving Twitter and stick to my plan in the face of an ever-volatile platform constantly backtracking their most unpopular decisions. It wasn't an easy decision, I had made a few organic connections on there, but I guess even I had to draw a line in the sand.
Please make sure to mark your new account as type “bot” to meet the expectations of instance operators.
We hope your transition over is smooth and everyone appreciates the diversity in bot functionality!
