Welcome to the Isle of Misfit Texters.

I got banned... four years ago?

Elon buying it changed nothing for us plebes. Still a flaming progressive pit of small minds and big hates.

I don't mss it, though.

More time to write.

As always, never trust anything with the root word "Twit".

You're the second author I know banned yesterday from Twit-X for not toeing their political officer's edicts.

Good that you got back on. I've heard that from another author too that it was an "algorithm glitch" on a bot purge. Suuuuure it was. Someone got excited and went too far hoping no one would notice. Sorry, I don't believe "oops, my bad" as an excuse anymore from social media giants. I still won't trust Twit-X. ever.

I’m with you on this. I have been through this before on Reddit - it’s always an ‘error’ at first.

Freedom of speech is just a phrase unless you use it.

Freedom of speech is ALWAYS worth it. And cancel-culture is ALWAYS something to be despised and fought. Good job, speaking your heart!

HUGS I'm back now - but I'm not sure I'm buying the bot-purge/glitch explanation. We have seen this before on reddit and other platforms, so it is really important for creators to diversify our platforms.

Back at you! You’re better off without Twitter! Whenever I post anything from Substack to Twitter I get nothing but silence. The sound of silence. Lol! 😅

There wasn't any explanation but I did get reinstated 24 hrs later. I was in the middle of posting the above exchange when it happened so I assumed it was about that!

Yes - some are saying is was a bot purge, but all my elons and thotbots are alive and well, so I don't think it was that...

I'm thinking I had reposted too many things in a short space of time without quoting...but I also surmise there's a pretty big file on me already so any whiff of misbehavior put me at risk..

This is a milestone which I've never achieved.

Then again, I shunned Twitter from the outset, because any platform that built itself on the premise of communicating in 144 characters or less per post was never going to be anything but trouble. The shit show continues!

I never really populated my twix account until Elon Musk showed up - and while it certainly has its merits, I find substack so much better for actual discourse

There's no way to know but it's either that or not wanting to carve up babies like roast turkeys... evidently it's hate speech to love babies.

Unfortunately so, how did it get to the point where not supporting infanticide means you're some sort of monster? I've never been on Xitter, always figured I'd be banned instantly.
