Here are the two tweets about @ADSBexchange which Twitter forced me to delete as violating their rules by “posting private information.”

@steveumstead @tony I need to get mine set up again. I'm not rural but feeding the data is enjoyable and gives nice perks.

@Marcel_DeSoleil @steveumstead @tony you get a pro membership plan. I believe it's a $90 per month value.

@tony Probably going back to Twitter even if your account is reinstated is a bad idea.

@tony @ADSBexchange by forcing you, do you mean "in exchange to re-enabling your account"? Did you appeal before doing so?

@david The appeal link was broken, both for the tweets, and my entire account suspension.

@ADSBexchange @tony I wonder if the trigger was the ADSBexchange mention and/or the URL?

@tony Twitter can't force you to delete anything. Please reflect on enabling a fascist billionaire before going back there & submitting to his fascist whims.

@tony
Why would you want to go back there?
They are showing you who they are? Why support autocratic extremists with your content?

@ADSBexchange

@tony The thing about capricious and arbitrary rule making is that it can lead to some truly funny illogical results.

@tony @ADSBexchange

I would hope that you stay strong and don't yield to the first of what will certainly be many whims of a censorious billionaire who truly believes his actions are beyond reproach from us mere mortals.

But I'd understand if you make the determination that Twitter is too key and central to your vocation to be willing to make a stand on principle.

Godspeed, sir!

@tony @ADSBexchange

The ADSB enthusiast community is probably better off just sticking to airwaves.social (or fediverse in general) than to return back to Twitter considering how Elon thinks that anyone tracking airplanes are out to doxx him. He pretty much said that this community isn't welcomed during the ban.

@chaos Yeah so I'm not really interested in being challenged about a false choice an oligarch gave me. I needed access to my DMs. The appeal link was broken. I'm making Mastodon my home going forward.

@tony I definitely understand and didn't know DMs we're blocked too. It's unfortunate he's putting people who utilize it for their job in this position. No one should expect the journalists to martyr themselves and clear messaging from journos about a transition phase may help head off these questions.

@martinvermeer I’m sorry you aren’t in the position where you lose access to recent DMs you need to do your job unless you participate in a false choice like this. Your behavior is the opposite of what I was told Mastodon would be like.

@tony Well good thing you're out now. We all learn our lessons, some of us faster than others 🤣

@tony @ADSBexchange well at least you are proving your fealty to Musk, and that getting back on Twitter is all that matters. I’ll definitely trust everything you share in the future.

@JJPeterson I have repeatedly said that I’m making Mastodon my home, that I am making Twitter announcement only and directing people here, and that I will be working on scrubbing most old content in the coming weeks. Your rude comment to me is exactly the kind of toxic trash that needs to stay isolated on Twitter.

@tony I’m sorry, I was just made aware and you are doing the right thing.

@JJPeterson @tony @ADSBexchange Don't be ridiculous. This isn't some sort of purity test. He's already said that he needs access to his Twitter DMs which is a perfectly good reason. And even if he didn't give any reason at all, it's abundantly clear that he's not supporting the oligarch so there's no need for whatever this posturing you're doing is.

@tony @ADSBexchange so glad we has mastodon where Elon can't censor us. It's nice to see your side. Keep up the good work.

@tony
Tony... pls be so thoughtful and leave these Tweet(s) alive... imho by erasing them "ElOn DeNethor" can blackmail and extort ye further, aye?

c/c @ADSBexchange

@tony @ADSBexchange
Thanks for sharing. Hardware ordered. I'm not exactly rural but might as well contribute.

@tony @ADSBexchange yeah that’s not what you did and “ban evasion”? That’s not ban evasion either. Someone needs to get Elon a Twitter glossary of terms

@tony @ADSBexchange I can't believe they're censoring that kind of publicly available information.

@tony @ADSBexchange why? Musk quite happy to have people's private emails published on Twitter .

@tony @ADSBexchange How do you feel about continuing your activity on twitter even if censored? Your collegue at VOA is refusing to comply, I understand. Would you followers know? It's a tough situation no doubt, not accusing you of anything.
