@marado This is pretty pathetic, but it might at least force the more "follow-worthy" people, to create a simple unique website, with links to all their socials, for them to link on their Twitter instead.
@bender but he said the dreaded m-word and that people can find him there. That's what broke that stupid rule, not the fact it was linked on the site.
To 100% comply, with how that rule is written, you'd have to just link the site, without directly saying what is on it.
It's pretty clear and somewhat funny, these people were never before on the dark side and have no idea, how to ban-evade.
Glad I left Twitter years ago, so I don't have to find ways around this garbage. If I had to, I'd probably end up making some indirect redirect site (with other things on it, as well) and put it on some really offensive, but technically still within the ToS sub domain - something along the lines of "elon-sucks-off-aids-infested-crackheads.coolsite.co".
@thecanine To be honest I just find the whole policy just junk -- Like, think about it for a minute... What _problem_ was/is Twitter™ (Elon Musk) _trying_ to solve here?! 🤦♂️

Like I _thought_ (maybe I'm just naive?!) the whole point of Twitter™ was to be the "town square" where everybody could come together and openly discuss ideas, etc. To be open and transparent. No? 🤔

@prologic He's trying to solve the problem that he's a right-wing, authoritarian proto-fascist but Twitter has a bunch of people who aren't that, and who don't worship him.
The chaos is the point--authoritarians from time immemorial purposely, knowingly created bad, impossible rules to confuse and demoralize their enemies.
When dealing with someone like Musk, it's better to think of everything he's done in terms of power and attention. He's not trying to improve twitter or pay twitter's debts or make it profitable the way a reasonable person would. He's trying to exercise power and squash his and his friends' enemies using twitter as a tool. Everything he does makes perfect sense when viewed that way.
@prologic it's obvious, he bought a very shitty website, only valuable, because it has a lot of users, for like ten times what it was worth and many of those users hate him and/or are actively trying to flee into any other community, willing to accept them.
This policy doesn't have any higher goal in mind, it's just the "let's tie everyone to this sinking ship, that might make it sink slower somehow" kind of policy.
