Yeah, there were regulatory rulings in the US and Europe for that.
Even still, a lot of people are deleting their Twitter accounts, and what I'm saying is that that is not the most strategic way to support Fedi. If you are going to delete your account anyway, it's better to use your account for dissent until Elon deletes it for you.
Edit: also, I've been posting JoinMastodon.org, which is a URL that is less likely to get blocked. If they start blocking URLs, we can always just rotate through them: they can't block a URL until they know what it is, and we have the resources to make several of them at a time.
@JoBlakely Could you take a screenshot of the page this appears on and send to me at eugen@joinmastodon.org? If no screenshot is possible, I at least need to know one name of an account that appears as a follower despite not being a follower.
If you are concerned about private accounts on a server that you control (alone or in a group you trust), the Fediverse is the place for you.
Mastodon accounts can be private if you want. Same with a lot of other Fediverse software.
Try joinmastodon.org to get an account or set up a server.
If you currently use Bluesky, you can follow the same people from the Fediverse through the Bluesky bridge; but from a private account on a server you have some say in.
i'm also convinced that people saying "Mastodon is confusing" have to be lying
let's say you start from joinmastodon.org: they have "Join Mastodon.social" as the default if you don't want to worry or learn about instances. and then a fairly basic sign-up process follows. maybe one extra click vs Bluesky. yeah, *really* confusing /s
and then the Mastodon app is just as simple. again, mastodon.social provided as the default
just like "bsky.social" is the default domain when using Bluesky
