I wasn’t able to share a recent Instagram post on Twitter – but then I copied the Instagram link and made a post on Twitter for it.
At this point, I want them to ban me. I feel like everyone should be trying to get kicked out.

Or just quit on your own. Don’t forget that the advertising income for the site is directly linked to how many people are still creating, viewing and engaging with the content there.

Ummm… Exactly how does Elon plan to ban “Mastodon”? I mean, he does understand that it’s distributed, right?
- First pass, he’ll ban
mastodon.social. - Second pass, he’ll ban any url with “mastodon” in it.
- Third pass, ban contractions and variations.
- Fourth pass, he’ll maybe finally realize that the domain can be any damned thing.
Short of pinging every domain with an ActivityPub query, he’ll have no idea.

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.
