Even 20 years ago GDC was mostly presentations on new technologies and novel algorithms people had developed. Very few women attended. Then they started letting people make presentations on feminism...

Correct, the reason Twitter has done this is the same reason Reddit locked down their API (and broke 3rd party Reddit apps). The introduction of ChatGPT made the data incredibly valuable. This means that they can sell it, but also means that if they didn't lock it down they'd have huge amounts of bots scraping everything and costing very large sums of money.

The API that's gone was to get guest accounts. The poast nitter doesn't use those, but that means it can't handle a lot of traffic.

She was barred from using social media by a Canadian court order. It was part of her bail conditions. She is not ribbing Elon, she's making a joke like "What did I miss?"
