>It's news to me that that users are not allowed to mention other social networks' accounts on Twitter anymore.
Isn't that a mischaracterization though? The new policy they announced, as far as I've seen, only applies if the account is "solely" promoting other brands. [0]
> Specifically, we will remove accounts created solely for the purpose of promoting other social platforms and content that contains links or usernames for the following platforms: Facebook, Instagram, Mastodon, Truth Social, Tribel, Nostr and Post.
Has the developer shared anything about the earlier conversation on policy violations? I just see https://mobile.twitter.com/jasonrohrer/status/14331194531186... which is the (not very interesting) step escalating from "you're violating policies" to "you're kicked off".
> We still allow cross-posting content from any social media platform. Posting links or usernames to social media platforms not listed above are also not in violation of this policy.
What is a violation of this policy?
At both the Tweet level and the account level, we will remove any free promotion of prohibited 3rd-party social media platforms, such as linking out (i.e. using URLs) to any of the below platforms on Twitter, or providing your handle without a URL:
Prohibited platforms:
- Facebook, Instagram, Mastodon, Truth Social, Tribel, Post and Nostr
- 3rd-party social media link aggregators such as linktr.ee, lnk.bio
- Examples:
- “follow me @username on Instagram”
- “username@mastodon.social”
- “check out my profile on Facebook - facebook.com/username”
