Amazing.Elon Musk shut off most of #twitter 's nicroservices.That has apparently included the one for two factor authentication.You know, which is necessary for most of Twitter's most important account holders.

It's no accident that twitter's first big-name execs to head out of the door were women

The good news about Mastodon's defederation/instance blocking is twofold:1) Easy to mass-block the organisers of harassment and abuse and all their followers.2) Some of the weirder "read literally everything in bad faith" users manage collate and then block literally everyone else and so don't end up in your replies.

"Another ~10 Twitter employees who made sassy or critical remarks about Twitter's current leadership on a Twitter internal Slack channel have been terminated overnight.Several were respected software engineers."https://blog.pragmaticengineer.com/turmoil-at-twitter/

People trying to claim this is all some conspiracy, that he's dragging out destroying twitter out as some kind of PR 4D chess, are just as guilty of over-egging Musk's intellect and competence as his weird stan boys.

People - "Don't go to Mastodon/Hive, they're not safe!"Meanwhile on twitter - People openly calling LGBT+ people groomers and justifying a mass shooting that killed 5 and injured dozens more on that basis.This is Musk's twitter. It isn't safe for us. Be careful anywhere. Make sure you don't share things on unsecure sites you wouldn't be able to see public.But "they're not safe" is a nonsense defence of remaining on twitter.

Oh dear god.I don't think you, or he, realise just how many accounts this is. How far "not broken the law" goes when it comes to abuse and harassment online.This would release an absolute tidal wave of toxicity that's not been seen off full-bodied troll forums.

I don't just mean the banned accounts. Yes, there's loads of big accounts that'd be restored whose main purpose of targeted harassment (some are back already).But the starting gun this would sound on all the others still here to do whatever they like to whoever they like? 😬

"I'm staying on twitter till the bitter end."Cool, I'm sure spending time with an entirely white and straight crowd will be wonderful for you, because everyone else will end up having to leave for their safety and mental health.

90% of Twitter's revenue is advertising.Half of that is already suspended or gone. How many more will stick around through the flood as marginalised people, influencers, and celebrities flee the toxicity.Does he really think the trolls will pay him to keep it all upright?

@tyil if you don't like what I talk about the joy of social media is that you can just not engage and do something else

Dear lord. And people think that the access Mastodon admins have is bad...
