“When I log in to my Twitter account, the site is replaced with the message: ‘Your account has been locked.’ Twitter accuses me of violating its rules against posting private information. (In the 13 years that I’ve used Twitter, I’ve never violated any rules, and my account has never been suspended or locked until now.)
“To unlock my account, I must remove the offending tweet, which in my case said, ‘Twitter just banned Mastodon’s official Twitter account @joinmastodon with 174,000 followers, probably because it tweeted a link to @ElonJet’s Mastodon account. Twitter is now censoring posting the link, but the user is @elonjet@mastodon.social.'”
