Here’s the exchange on #Twitter where Musk concurs with a user suggesting only people who bought a checkmark should be able to vote. Also included is Ken Klippenstein’s tart quip.
Good news. https://counter.social is again linkable from the bird site and is NO LONGER being falsely flagged as 'unsafe'.
Sorry I haven't been posting very much.
I've been on the bird site trying to spread the word about the Post.News scheme Andreessen, Bardin, and Musk have dreamed up.
Twitter(Musk) has banned CounterSocial and other sites but continues to allow Post to roam free. No one sees what's going on or even cares.
Anyone with a large and still active account on the bird site please spread the word.
CounterSocial is still growing fast but they're actively trying to stop the migration.
CoSo and Mastodon have bird site warnings to links over there. Their accounts have also been suspended.
You know which site doesn't have warnings or their account suspended? Post.News.
1) Andreessen puts up $400M to help Musk buy Twitter
2) Musk delays purchase of Twitter
3) during the delay, Andreessen helps Bardin create Post
4) Musk completes purchase of Twitter, promising to "sink" it
5) Post launches less than a week after the purchase is finalized
Something smells "Musky" in birdland.

DOZENS of TOP SECRET DOCUMENTS already seized or turned in by court order.
DOZENS STILL MISSING.
How many U.S. SECRETS have already been shared with ENEMIES of our nation?
This is on Merrick Garland's slowness to act and Biden's appointment of the impotent AG in the first place.
Even IF Trump is locked up, the damage is done.
The WORLD is laughing at us, with some of our enemies reading our secrets as they giggle and guffaw.
Meanwhile, Germany arrests MFing seditionists BEFORE they act.
A digital war on democracy has begun.
Billionaires have fired the 1st 3 shots:
1) Elon Musk, with help from billionaires like Mark Andreesen (who put up $400 million toward the purchase), buys Twitter and threatens to "sink" it.
2) Noam Bardin, again with help/$ from Andreessen, creates Post.News, while Musk buys time by delaying the purchase of Twitter.
3) Post.News begins luring independent but respected journalists with promise of $ from micropayment scheme.
War has begun.
Pick a side.
@Rabon Yeah, I sort of get how some people need to make a living, if they relied on their twitter to do it, they're probably losing money now if their subs are leaving especially; but from my very limited experience on post, it seems like it's mostly reposting tweets from twitter, some memes, mostly stuff I've seen before, people just posting nonsense to try to make money, looks like. I've only had an account for a few days but I'm not impressed at all.
I don't know about the rest of you CoSoNauts but I'm getting pretty damn suspicious of all the recent big accounts over on the bird site suddenly getting "religion" over the corporatist post.news alternative.
Given well-established alternatives, like CoSo, which they reject, ignore or shun at every opportunity, I'm wondering if maintaining some corporatist connections or financial gain (ad share) is driving such behavior.
Very suspicious.
They finally kick you off the bird app?
I've been kinda trying to get kicked off by heavily promoting migration but I guess my follower count is not sufficient for them to care, yet. 🤣
