There are a lot of people that have no interest in cultivating an objective and accurate world view.

"sounds plausible" goes in the "objective evidence" pile and nobody follows up to see if they were correct.

What is a hypothesis here? That twitter thought they could block Mastodon and no one in the world would notice? That no one would care?

Damage control is cheap and easy.

So do you really think a team at twitter sat down and thought, lets block mastodon for a day to avoid some customer bleed, then we can do damage control, but it will be worth it in the end?
