Elon Musk's Twitter isn't paying its bills

More Mastodon / Twitter news (it's slowing down a bit). Dan Primack informs us Twitter has stopped paying the rent and numerous other bills. So far as Twitter being a bastion of free speech, well, not so much, as the owner of an account suspended for reporting on Elon Musk's jet found out. The application is also beginning to fray around the edges: "manual RTs appearing for a moment before retweets slowly morph into their standard form, ghostly follower counts that race ahead of the number of people actually following you, or replies that simply refuse to load... even Twitter's rules went offline." It's also killing its newsletter platform Revue.
Mastodon, meanwhile, has registered a 588 percent increase in visits in just one month, mostly without problems. Also, Miguel Guhlin is exploring a new group tool for Mastodon called Chirp Social. "Any post addressed to a Group by a follower gets reposted by the Group, so all followers can see it." Also, people are discussing whether it's appropriate for Mastodon instances to use CloudFlare. Also: register of Mastodon regional instances.
