> “I’ll have to repair nearly every article I’ve ever written since my tweets got wiped out,” journalist and videographer Vishal Singh wrote on Mastodon on Monday, after being banned from Twitter. “Hundreds of articles written by countless journalists used my tweets. From all sides of the political spectrum. Academic papers that cited my tweets. These links and embeds are now all broken.”

When will people learn that links on the web will get broken, your content is not owned by you unless it's on your own server (and accessible only if you can create new routes to it when the existing one breaks)? This isn't complicated, though it is a bit inconvenient.

Sorry about the turn of events. It was not that long ago these same 'voices' defend the platform for silencing conservative voices.

But it is still the case that conservative "voices" act like censorship, cancel-culture, and bias are unique to the left.

It's insane gaslighting and mostly just an immature and snowflakey reaction to the fact that conservative ideas are put down by the exercise of the free speech and freedom of association of others.
