Comment on Links mentioning Mastodon flagged as sensitive on Twitter?parent

It should be relatively easy to detect — Twitter can simply check whether a domain implements ActivityPub when a user tries to submit a link.

Wow that would be a scorched earth policy, would it not? You would then be deplatforming video and image hosting sites, discussion forums, and blogs. Including people.kernel.org, the Linux kernel developer blogging platform.

Sure. I don’t know the ActivityPub spec; maybe there’s some way to disambiguate further. But I think Elon would be fine with deplatforming anyone for whom he could get away with it.

Why would you think that? His whole shtick was to NOT do that
