Folks: Elon Musk is now targeting MeidasTouch on Twitter. It’s more important than ever that we grow our platform here on Mastodon. Please consider boosting this post and telling everyone you know to follow us. Thank you for your support!
@MeidasTouch it’s like twitter has merged with Truth Social.
@HIHKatharine @MeidasTouch It seems that Musk is purposefully courting the audiences of Gab, Parler, Truth Social, and whatever website /r/the_donald migrated to
@HIHKatharine @MeidasTouch Putin ALWAYS has a Plan B
@nosmaharba @HIHKatharine @MeidasTouch you're right. He can live in one of the nearly 3000 destroyed Russian tanks once the fsb / Russian population / military come for him.
@julesfinn @HIHKatharine @MeidasTouch I hope they find him in a "spider hole" wearing a wig.
and shirtless. always shirtless.
@HIHKatharine Nailed it right there!
@HIHKatharine @MeidasTouch Philosophically, the merger has already occurred.
@MeidasTouch so much for twitter being a bastion of free speech. Yuck. I will follow you guys on all the things.
@Skepticowl @MeidasTouch Elmo’s version of free speech is free speech for me and not for thee.
@MeidasTouch With me, I edited my hosts file to block all Google, MetaFacebook and Twitter servers and related servers. https://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm CAUTION: if you try this , do so at your own risk! I've been doing this for over eighteen years with my own customization.
Radical yet so effective :-)
@MeidasTouch On the plus side, you're not really famous until people hate you. Therefore, you have grown. Keep up the good work.
@MeidasTouch They suspended my account on Twitter. It’s not fair that I should be treated like crap.
@ProudDem83 @MeidasTouch They never really tell you what rule you broke or how.
@SemperSaint @MeidasTouch No they don’t. And my Tweets were not hateful.
@ProudDem83 @MeidasTouch I actually appealed and asked them to tell me what rule I broke, and how. Their response was simply to make it permanent. I was on that site for 14 years.
@SemperSaint My tweets were not hateful and they suspended me because of it.
@SemperSaint @ProudDem83 @MeidasTouch That's awful SemperSaint. I'm sorry you went through that. It's a real loss to lose your account.
@SemperSaint @ProudDem83 @MeidasTouch Elon's twitter isn't free speech, the bird's becoming a police state. Secret edits find what you're posting and punish you. Edits and rules aren't applied equally. You rarely know exactly what you did wrong.
@Exoticgamora @SemperSaint @MeidasTouch I don’t understand why Elon is such an ass.
@ProudDem83 @SemperSaint @MeidasTouch That's the truth Blue State. He's tough to figure out.
@ProudDem83 @Exoticgamora @SemperSaint @MeidasTouch white privilege, intergenerational wealth and capitalism to pat him in the back and say "you do better than 90% in your cohort" you must be a genius!
@omarsequera @Exoticgamora @SemperSaint @MeidasTouch it’s sickening that Twitter has turned into such a toxic platform because of that ass Musk.
@Exoticgamora @ProudDem83 @MeidasTouch THIS right here!
@SemperSaint @ProudDem83 @MeidasTouch you hurt Musky in his feels.
@DoodBro @SemperSaint @MeidasTouch And yet he won’t even reinstate my fricken account.
@ProudDem83 @MeidasTouch They got me to on some trumped up spamming charge. I appealed it but it looks like I’m going to lose 27,000 followers.
@TBates314 I tried to appeal, but it didn’t work the first time.
@TBates314 @ProudDem83 @MeidasTouch
you just gained one here.
@Anaximander @ProudDem83 @MeidasTouch Thanks. Followed back.
@MeidasTouch On it's current trajectory, twitter will be just another right wing echo chamber eventually. There will be no room left leaning participants.
@72wagon @MeidasTouch I think Elon will clear out all legitimate left wing accounts and just use dummy 'actors' to write left wing posts to keep his alt right accounts happy and engaged.
@Exoticgamora @72wagon @MeidasTouch Just hook up that AI chatbot to 100 Twitter accounts and you're good to go. Keep the flame wars going indefinitely.
@wh0sthatd0g @Exoticgamora @MeidasTouch Good thought. Not sure Elon even needs to go to the trouble though. Russian troll farms are doing the job for him. Either way he can claim more engagement than ever.
@72wagon @MeidasTouch Agree, and it’s 100% Elon’s fault. Well, mostly. The Twitter board forced the sale, so that greed had a big role it it.
@72wagon @MeidasTouch and they will all leave, besides organizing insurrection the only reason they’re there is to troll and “own” us
@ShaunRosenberg @MeidasTouch I think you might be right. MAGA republican types seem to trend older. Not the strongest demographic for a strong twitter user base. My guess is they will loose interest when they are done reveling in their "victory".
@72wagon @MeidasTouch Twitter Social is really becoming a major cesspool, glad I am out of there! They suspended me once for just suggesting someone be treated like the person I tweeted to was treating others. That was considered hate speech but the person I was tweeting to, was committing hate acts and I guess that was ok to Twitter.
@72wagon @MeidasTouch it’s already there.
Conspiracy theories don't write themselves, you know.
That exchange seems a little bit scripted.
@MeidasTouch are you on Post too?
@MeidasTouch Muscow is amplifying not only Nazis, but QANON propagandists like this “kitty” account. https://toad.social/@jimstewartson/109490016944308218
Why stay....I'll wait.....
@MeidasTouch in case someone doesn’t know who kitty is @satirehat @clearing_fog @Gal_suburban @Clay

Guess who was part of this.

Online Lies About Spies
How a fake letter revived a claim the UK bugged Donald Trump
The letter claimed to show that Britain’s electronic intelligence agency, GCHQ, spied during the 2016 U.S. presidential elections on the campaign of then-candidate Donald Trump at the behest of President Barack Obama.

@trcfwtt @MeidasTouch @satirehat @clearing_fog @Clay
They use that account for a lot of shit.
@trcfwtt @MeidasTouch @satirehat @clearing_fog @Clay
So I'm pretty sure I just found who runs that account.
