Ha ha Elon suspended Paul Graham's account.

Graham had said he wasn't using Twitter anymore and linked to his mastadon account, thus making his twitter "solely for the purpose" of promoting other social media.

It's funny because Graham's Hacker News is maybe the most censorious forum and it's censored on his personal whims and tantrums (when he was still running it). Example, he banned an account for tactfully reminding them that Aaron Swartz had in fact committed crimes, set up a rival institution to take the heat, and put real people's jobs at risk -- a +40 upvoted deep comment. Banned because he was butt-buddies with Swartz and the truth hurt his feelings.

Good riddance.

edit: he got his account back. Sad!
