I've exited from tech and am doing guided tours in and around Yellowstone. https://t.co/7tYTmFirYi Thanks to everyone for some great years! This will be my last post here. 🐬

Just have to try posting this here… https://t.co/275LjRZ3ba

Elon banned journalist Dell Cameron over this perfectly reasonable reporting. Free speech? I don’t think so. If you’re still active on Twitter, WHY are you still active on Twitter? https://t.co/boDwebno4v

If you’re still here… why are you still here?

This is a great illustration of why I’m not active here anymore. I encourage you to come join me on Mastodon, rather than staying on a platform ruined by a self-obsessed man-child. https://t.co/9O0tzdQ4Zd

Dear @elonmusk I would like to report @Telsa for this clear violation of Twitter rules. These rules are very important and made by you, our benevolent leader. I trust you will be suspending this account shortly. All the best. -- Judd

Elon Musk is now saying that only Twitter blue subscribers should be able to vote on polls affecting Twitter policies. He promised us free speech, but he is giving us poll taxes.

Elon Musk plans to restrict policy polls to paying Twitter Blue users. The billionaire’s announcement came on the same day that users voted decisively in a poll for him to step down as chief executive of the social media platform https://t.co/QpyzmEngPI

Musk now claiming his OWN POLL, run on a platform that HE OWNS, was rigged against him. Beyond parody.

Folks, the time to run https://t.co/ImNeaysyah or https://t.co/XuRKv7koAA is now. You don't need to have an account elsewhere yet. Download the CSVs while you can, and you can import them later. go go go go

All the most dangerous and hateful right-wing extremists on Twitter have their Gab, Gettr, and Parler accounts linked in their bios. Notice how those social media sites are not included in #QElon's banned list?

If anyone is looking for advice on how to join Mastodon, don’t be afraid to ask. That’s one thing I’ll be glad to discuss here. My DMs are open if you have any reason not to ask publicly.

Is there any doubt that Elmo is the weakest, most thin-skinned excuse for a man? Banning journalists who criticize his policies, identifying a competing social network as “malware,” etc? “Free speech” my ass…

FYI, all I’m going to be doing here anymore is tweeting reasons you should leave Twitter. I’m spending most of my time over on Mastodon these days. https://infosec [dot] exchange/web/@thomasareed (Breaking the link because Twitter is marking Mastodon links as “harmful.” 🤨)

Let this sink in: @elonmusk hath decreed that all links to Mastodon should be flagged as malware. This is, of course, a baldfaced lie, and he knows it. So the CEO of Twitter is lying to everyone on Twitter, and to all its advertisers, even to all of his defenders.

Please, folks, stop supporting this platform. There’s no reason to continue to provide free content to a man crying about free speech (for Nazis) who then goes and deletes posts he doesn’t like - along with, apparently, the accounts posting them. Move to Mastodon.

Recently @TrendMicro uncovered a new Mac malware specimen with a propensity for stealing keychains! 🔓 See: https://t.co/0YP3k0lZpt Just added the "KeySteal" sample to our 🍎malware repo: https://t.co/i5Y1eNUSX0 (direct dl: https://t.co/24tHV5PyeV pw: infect3d) #SharingIsCaring

NEW: The boot camp MyTechBestFriend (#MTBF) and its founder are being accused of bullying its students and plagiarizing affordable tech course material to sell for up to $6k to students. I looked into the fallout that had #MTBF trending for a week. https://t.co/TMif9lMtkt

As an example, I’ve got a bit more than 1/10 the followers over there, but started a discussion that got so much attention from people across many different Mastodon instances that I had to turn off notifications. I’ve NEVER had that happen on Twitter.
