Hmm... this is weird, the post is still there but it now links to a 404:

mstdn.social/@TechCrunch/11439

I wonder if this was under an embargo and they published too early?

The story that was there was saying they were moving to threads.com and redirecting threads.net there, plus also saying the web client was being overhauled. So, it sounds like it was part of some kind of relaunch/refresh of the platform?

It's odd: For the article, I get the 404 error, too (their website), but the account on Mastodon above doesn't work! Did they come into some Thread-blocking Mastodon mill??

Edit: It was definitively *not* me blocking the instance mstdn.social, I also can't find it via search: @Mastodon @staff - did you know what happened? It's an important official media account! How can you suspend it!?

@NatureMC @homegrown I can see the TechCrunch account just fine. Seems more that mastodon.online has suspended the account.

@spiezmaestro @NatureMC

Yeah, think it might be worth asking mastodon.online why they've suspended it, as it's a genuine account. They even link to it at the bottom of the page on techcrunch.com

@homegrown @spiezmaestro I have to check first if I blocked the instance personally. I'm still searching where ...
I contacted my admins above in the edited post.

@NatureMC @spiezmaestro

Whaaat? The account isn't suspended on mstdn.social and it's verified as genuine on techcrunch.com

Something weird going on at your server if they've suspended that account?

The direct link should work?

mstdn.social/@TechCrunch/11439

@homegrown @spiezmaestro
It's odd. I can see it on the original domain, too (but not interact).
I can't imagine that mastodon.social and mastodon.online (same admins) would suspend a media account.
Could be that I blocked mstdn.social with the latest spam waves ... (where can I find this?)
But doesn't explain the 404 error.

@NatureMC @spiezmaestro

It's not suspended on mastodon.social, which is the same admins as mastodon.online, so perhaps this is some kind of mistake by the admins?

The 404 error is something different I think, I'm guessing Tech Crunch pressed "publish" too early and weren't supposed to release the info yet?

Föderation EN Do 24.04.2025 18:13:43

@homegrown Yes, the 404 error is on their website.
But you can ask @TechCrunch@mstdn.social personally, why.

And attention, don't confuse mstdn.social with mastodon.social!

BTW, TechCrunch has a very active Threads-Account on Mastodon and a lot of instances block Threads already.
