Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino, has been quick to dismiss reports of declining Twitter traffic, one reason to block links to a rival, asserting that the site’s usage has been on the rise. “Don’t want to leave you hanging by a thread…but Twitter, you really outdid yourselves! Last week we had our largest usage day since February,” Yaccarino tweeted. “There’s only ONE Twitter. You know it. I know it.” The censorship comes despite Elon Musk’s self-proclaimed status as a “free speech absolutist.”

Votes mean nothing on the fediverse. I can spin up a lemmy instance right now and give my comment 2,000 upvotes. Bots got really bad where as soon as you would post something to the donald you would get like 4 downvotes. Basically as fast as the rate limiter would allow.

Has it been confirmed that Twitter is blocking threads? As far as I know, it’s just speculation, we need confirmation from Elon.

They stopped with Mastodon. I believe they only did that for like a few days and only on on a few accounts. After several people quit Elon changed that policy.
