Twitter has disabled users from retweeting, replying or liking tweets that contain a link to Substack. Users suspect it's because Substack is preparing its own microblogging service to rival Twitter. https://www.pcmag.com/news/twitter-disables-retweets-likes-on-posts-with-substack-links
@PCMag
I posted this elsewhere and wanted to boost the signal. The shareholders' meeting is May 15 and there is a shareholders' proposal on the agenda:
"5. A stockholder proposal regarding reporting on key-person risk, if properly presented (“Proposal Five”)."
As expected, Management opposes this, because no one is allowed to question #elonmusk 's sanity.
#Tesla #elonmusk
Send me all evidence in support of this proposal, especially evidence from his management of #Twitter
@PCMag brazenly illegal under EU law.
@PCMag this is just absolutely ridiculous at this point. My #lizardbrain immediately screams #conspiracy, and that there’s some form of #longgame by #Musk, ala #ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia.
@PCMag such a petty, little man.
There are so many other social media platforms to choose from.
Staying on twitter only fasciliates Elon Musk.
Leaving twitter defenestrates him.
@PCMag After laying off so many from Twitter, it’s only a matter of time before these callously cast-off employees band together and put together competing products. Twitter is still holding due to its early entry into the market and current users, but that may change. In addition to my own Social Media work, I am actively encouraging companies I work with to begin using Mastadon and other competing services. I doubt I’m alone with that.
@PCMag it worked to prevent users switching to mastodon in vast majorities, hence why wouldn’t they try to block it upfront?
let’s see, I think Substack is already bigger and easier than mastodon was/is, therefore the threat is bigger
Did he learn nothing form the last time?
@PCMag ah yes, the platform of free speech, unless it’s something the Man Child doesn’t want to hear.
@PCMag what’s the reasoning for the change?
@PCMag guess reposting is gonna become a larger thing.
@PCMag No matter what the excuse is it's godawful behavior from Twitter.
@PCMag substack is trash
@PCMag seems it’s stopped now. So petty.
@PCMag Apparently, no one has ever heard of a URL shortener?
