Twitter Axes Account Of Social Media Rival Mastodon

December 15, 2022 Business, Social Media

The Twitter account encouraging people to join rival social network Mastodon has been suspended, the latest in a string of accounts suspended this week. The usual feed for @JoinMastodon was replaced Thursday with a message the account had been suspended for violating Twitter rules.

It wasn’t immediately clear which rules the account broke. Neither Twitter nor Mastodon representatives immediately responded to requests for comment. The Mastodon account suspension comes as many people are opting out of Twitter in favor of the decentralized social network.

Telegram users have been self-destructing messages since the beginning – and now they can set a custom account-wide timer to auto-delete all messages in new chats. You can also easily enable auto-delete in your existing chats from the same menu. #TelegramTips pic.twitter.com/8IDM7XaVqs

Among many other things It’s Going Down did is round up the comings and goings of far-right extremists every week.

I know of nothing they ever did that would merit a suspension on this site.
