   From the leopards-eating-faces department: In 48 hours, Matt Taibbi went from Elon Musk's hand-picked propagandist to being unfollowed by Musk, completely de-boosted in the Twitter feed, and announcing his departure from Twitter after Musk rendered Substack links completely inaccessible from the bird app.

   Incredible and yet somehow predictable turn of events here catalogued by @mmasnick, who writes "The refrain to remember with Twitter under Elon Musk: it can always get dumber". https://www.techdirt.com/2023/04/10/after-matt-taibbi-leaves-twitter-elon-musk-shadow-bans-all-of-taibbis-tweets-including-the-twitter-files/

   I've boosted a few others pointing out this article, but I gotta say, I find it absolutely hilarious that Taibbi went from Musk bootlicker to effectively off the site and shadowbanned in 48 hours... especially since one of Taibbi's big (misleading and misunderstood) scoops was about Twitters visibility filtering... https://www.techdirt.com/2023/04/10/after-matt-taibbi-leaves-twitter-elon-musk-shadow-bans-all-of-taibbis-tweets-including-the-twitter-files/
