@excellion@bitcoinhackers.org In fairness, this is probably a matter of ethics not stupidity.
Musk is probably betting on the fact that US law will probably let him get away with banning links to other sites. The same way Apple can get away with banning side loading.
And if his goal is to successfully crush left wing Twitter, he's still achieving that. Mastodon isn't going to replace what Twitter was for the left.
Sad though.

Dystopian take: Twitter (or anything) was probably always going to be a temporary digital public square that both sides in a polarized political climate would use. Musk just accelerated its descendance to part of one cluster of a balkanized social media Internet.
