     (I think sarcasm is a poor vehicle for speaking clearly about these matters so to be clear: The reason their actions don't seem to fit with "free speech" is because they never cared about "free speech". This isn't even "hypocrisy". It's just ordinary lying. Anyway congrats to Mr. Musk for finally doing something so batshit he got me to subtweet him on Mastodon, something I've been specifically trying not to do)

     Now given I am sure that if I posted this on Twitter I would have five people with grecoroman statue heads as avatars explaining that in order to protect free speech it is in fact logically necessary to ban Linktree

     @mcc there was somebody on there trying to justify this as a GM car dealership not letting random people sell Ford shirts in the lobby.

     I thought earnestly comparing a site that they were formerly claiming should serve as "the town square of the world" to a car dealership was a rather spectacular self-own that nobody on that thread seemed to grasp.
