It's Musk's Twitter. He can do what he wants.
And what he wants to do right now is confirm what we've all known - it's never been about free speech. It's been about the speech he approves of.

Journalists who cover Elon Musk have been suspended on Twitter tonight: @Donie@twitter.com O'Sullivan from CNN, Aaron Rupar and the Washington Post's @drewharwell@twitter.com.
Rupar tells me he has "no idea" why it happened.

Reuters covering long wait times for gender dysphoria treatment is a good sign.
This goes beyond waiting for blockers or hormones, as the article makes clear. It includes access to any sort of counseling on this issue, w/ young people waiting multiple yrs to even talk to a therapist.

When you try to message a friend on Mastodon but they've used more than one server

Aha, we’ve reached the “mod loses his shit and starts adding new rules because he had a bad day, banning people who notice and posting angry tirades” stage of the webforum meltdown arc
Hmm. Maybe I need a gyrocopter. 🤔

If you were wondering, "Is Elmo still having content on Twitter which mentions the word Mastodon and/or links to an article about Mastodons flagged with content warnings?", Magic 8 Ball says, "Yes.":
Every news outlet should stand up a Mastondon instance for their reporters & staff.
It’ll be great to see GivennameFamilyname@mastodon.famousnewspaper.com or whatever domain they want to use.
Built in verification. Every reporter for the Washington Post on a washpo domain. Every reporter for the New York Times on an NYTimes domain. Etc, etc.
Plus the “local” feed for each instance becomes a feed of all the posts from that institution mixed together — providing extra discovery.

Remember folks, be kind to your neighbors, mods, and instance owners but no quarter for fascists.
May the servers be robust 🙏 🖖
