@JoinMastodon has also been suspended which is amusing.

From the article:
> Twitter took action against Mastodon after the account linked to the Mastodon page of @ElonJet, a student-made bot that tracks the whereabouts of Musk’s private jet.

Yeah, no. They've also blocked anyone from posting links to major Mastodon instances like mastodon.social or mas.to, and if you try to click any existing links to those sites on Twitter, you'll get a scary warning that it's a malicious site.

Private platform, can do what they want. Wasn't that the mindless retort you'd scrawl in comment sections under previous ownership?

Musk claimed he wanted to change that, then immediately started doing the stuff he decried.
No one’s saying he can’t do this. They’re saying he promised not to. Including, specifically, banning the @elonjet account.
