#FLASHLOL - Twitter is preventing screenshots of its new policy from within the app lol. So... just screenshot it from here instead.

@th3j35t3r After reading it, it appears that, despite using the same handle for decades, I can't use it elsewhere if I use it on #Twitter?
I dunno, it's feeling a lot like a publisher and very much less like a platform. *third rail* 🤷🏻♀️
@Cosmichomicide @th3j35t3r
Looks like you can use it on other platforms, you just cant mention the platform name (or link).
So relies on people using common sense to search the other platforms for your user ID.
OK ... common sense ... right, might be a problem 😂
@DoxyMus1c @th3j35t3r It really sort of boils down to this is the kind of "policy" that sounds smart when you are getting stoned in the office with the 12 remaining engineers before they crawl into their sleep pods.
Any halfwit with 15 minutes of policy background would say "What about official government entities who link to all their emergency communication outlets?"
But, the halfwits are all sleep deprived and the policy people are all gone.
We have just started running with a new hashtag that suits our humour.
Fix Twitter ... #ItsNotRocketScience
(plus, there is a great GIF library ready to go 😆 )
