"Any account doxxing real-time location info of anyone will be suspended, as it is a physical safety violation. This includes posting links to sites with real-time location info."

While you did not embed the link itself, that nuance is a distinction without a difference as the intent was still to share the location to a site with real-time location information, which as stated, will result in suspension/ban.

Hey Micah!

Could you post a screenshot of the suspension notice you got from Twitter? Does it say which "rule" was allegedly broken?

The message from the image:

Twitter just banned Mastodon's official Twitter account @joinmastodon with 174,000 followers, probably because it tweeted a link to @ElonJet's Mastodon account. Twitter is now censoring posting the link, but the user is @elonjet@maston.social
