[tantek]tempted to write an satire about writing satire versions of your notes for POSSEing to Twitter so they don’t trigger Elno & The Bots (not an actual bandname)
btremOne of the most ridiculous myths circulating in the media these last couple of months is that Elon Musk is a free speech absolutist. There are even discussions in respectable news outlets about the danger of such unfettered free speech. Meanwhile, Musk is busy suppressing speech numerous times, in numerous ways.
btremWell, given that he banned several twitter accounts today, I'd say that's how. (Yes, I realize that the First Amendment does not cover Twitter. But Musk doesn't seem to make the distinction, so neither will I in this case.)
btremI guess I'd say when Musk himself says it, it's a lie or hypocrisy. When reporters tell us he is what he says he is, without bothering to do the most basic fact-checking, over and over, it becomes a myth.

aaronpkfor those who have set up bridgy fed or other things that turn your website into a mastodon-followable profile, do you treat "mastodon/activitypub" as a separate destination you're syndicating your posts out to? or do you consider it to be just part of your site
[snarfed]2both because bridgy fed requires a deliberate trigger per post (which can easily be automated into all posts, granted), and because the posts are rendered separately and look different inside the fediverse than on my site
aaronpkup until now i had treated it essentially like a copy of my home page, so if any post appeared on my home page it would also be sent out to my AP followers. but now i'm thinking i might need to treat it as a destination instead
gRegorI also treat it like a destination. My setup kind of requires that, since my Notes page includes replies, rsvps, etc. And not all of those make sense on Mastodon or even work with BF.
gRegorI did think it would be neat to federate an RSVP to HWC there, to promote others joining, but the in-reply-to on the RSVP causes issues, understandably. BF looks for that as a Mastodon post I'm replying to.
[tantek]^ gRegor for that specific example, I POSSE my HWC RSVPs to Twitter for precisely that reason (promote others joining). It does mean my RSVP "comment" looks a bit different (it's written to "look nice" on Twitter), however I do think it's a good reason to distribute RSVPs beyond their direct in-reply-to
[tantek]and especially if I like a bunch of stuff, I have code to compress them on the home page to take up even less space, even less if I like a bunch of things from the same site/author
[tantek]when I get around to trying to "like" a toot, I'll have to make changes to my code to send that like to Bridgy Fed. I do have a bunch of them open in tabs so that'll happen soon-ish
aaronpkof course a couple hours ago i had just added a preview of my most recent few posts on my "mastodon profile page", which is now incorrect since the latest post wasn't sent to my followers 😂 https://aaronparecki.com/@aaronpk
aaronpki think i'm ok with it because by that point they are looking at my website so they are in a different context than looking at their own mastodon instance
Loqi ok, I added "https://mastodon.art/@Elwell/109518110263944680" to the "See Also" section of /why https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=85066&oldid=82096 
[tantek] holy crap Twitter (presumably Elno) suspended the joinmastodon account! https://twitter.com/joinmastodon/
[KevinMarks] The mastodon account tweeted that ElonJet was on mastodon now, so it's 3 degrees of Streisand Effect now
gRegor Yeah, just casually banning journalists, among many others: https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/social-media/twitter-suspends-journalists-covering-elon-musk-company-rcna62032

[schmarty] i treat it like a destination!
