    A single citizen in AL claimed that multiple ppl had died from a “boat jumping challenge” on TikTok & the national media ran dozens of stories and TV segments

    But it was a lie. No such “challenge” existed, no deaths have been linked to TikTok https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/07/13/tiktok-boat-challenge-fake-misinformation/

    Most Twitter employees did not receive any type of severance when they were laid off, and even those that did got only one month of pay. https://www.thedailybeast.com/twitter-sued-for-owing-dollar500-million-in-severance-to-ex-employees

    Agree with this piece on IG’s Threads and why it can never truly replicate the magic Twitter once had https://techcrunch.com/2023/07/06/threads-wont-be-fun-but-it-will-give-brands-a-home-away-from-twitter/?guccounter=1

    @Octale those two can never find anything to critique about my work so they just rant about scenarios about me they made up in their head. Truly bizarre 😵‍💫

    Twitter’s new policy: never tweet

    taylorlorenz, to random
    @taylorlorenz@mastodon.social avatar

    Journalists will never stick around this app long term sadly unless it adds quote posting. We desperately need it to communicate effectively, build on each others ideas, and add crucial context to posts. These are things replies simply do not accomplish. Also quote posting or reblogging does not = harassment! Tumblr, for instance, has had the feature since the beginning. We need it here now too 🙏🏻

    Earlier today Elon Musk said that my ban was temporary, 45 min later he denied my appeal to reinstate my account and confirmed that I am permanently banned. The email I just received says the decision cannot be reversed.
    I have never once violated Twitters rules or terms of service. I’ve never had a single tweet flagged, my account was permanently banned with no warning and with no reason, after I reached out to Musk for comment.
