'Free Speech Absolutist' Elon Musk Blocks Twitter Links to Mark Zuckerberg's Threads
Elon Musk's Twitter has reportedly begun blocking links to its new competitor, Threads, following reports of a significant decline in Twitter's web traffic after the launch of Mark Zuckerberg's Twitter clone on July 5.
Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino, has been quick to dismiss reports of declining Twitter traffic, one reason to block links to a rival, asserting that the site’s usage has been on the rise. “Don’t want to leave you hanging by a thread…but Twitter, you really outdid yourselves! Last week we had our largest usage day since February,” Yaccarino tweeted. “There’s only ONE Twitter. You know it. I know it.” The censorship comes despite Elon Musk’s self-proclaimed status as a “free speech absolutist.”
Every site does cuck protective things like this. Exploding heads disables down voting like cucks.
Votes mean nothing on the fediverse. I can spin up a lemmy instance right now and give my comment 2,000 upvotes. Bots got really bad where as soon as you would post something to the donald you would get like 4 downvotes. Basically as fast as the rate limiter would allow.
It was used to bot attack us. I think it should be reenabled now that we are defederated from almost the bigger partof the fediverse
Has it been confirmed that Twitter is blocking threads? As far as I know, it's just speculation, we need confirmation from Elon.
I think it has.
I use neither Twitter or Threads though so . . .
I like that it's a link to breitbart.com of all websites :D
Oh and also this is usual practice on Twitter they do the same to Mastodon.
They stopped with Mastodon. I believe they only did that for like a few days and only on on a few accounts. After several people quit Elon changed that policy.
