I give up on X/Twitter

I have been locked out of my X/Twitter account for nearly a month now with no explanation or response to my appeals forthcoming from the blue-haired gang that runs the pro-Hamas censorship operation over there. It seems that X/Twitter's brief burst of freedom when Musk took over has ended. New Twitter is now the same as old Twitter. 

I will be posting here from now on. I have something in the works about the insanity surrounding the forthcoming elections in the USA.

Back soon.

  5. I was wondering what had happened to you. I was banned for a while because some hypersensitive little guy was upset about my comments. Now I think my posts go straight into the trash. It was refreshing for a while.

  6. There is always Truth Social. FYI, you aren't the only one who has been locked out for not being a Pro Hamas Nazi.

  13. So you claim that Elon Musk is pro-Hamas and is auto-censoring conservatives, or at least allowing it to happen.
    Yeah, I've looked for other anti-Hamas posts and couldn't find them.
    I'm sure it's them, not you. I endorse your method of shooting into the night and claiming a moral victory.
    All good-natured ribbing aside, there's probably some other issue that I also wouldn't much care about fixing. X is the emotional teen girl of the internet. You can't have meaningful discourse in tweets. I mean...xs.

    1. Elon fired a bunch of folks at TwiX but needs to fire more of them to root out the cancer and maintain control of TwiX as a free-ish speech platform.

  14. does sound like twitter needs some anti-spam help... that's pretty much what is going on there... trolls abusing tools meant to prevent spam by bots etc.
    honestly.. I expect them to 'get it' before too long... it's only really been a year... hard to revamp a service with the throughput of twitter in that timeframe... let along safeguard against trolls.
    maybe someone will monitor it and give an all clear eventually.. dunno

    1. basically, unlike the last time twitter banned all conservatives, this is likely unintentional.

  16. I was banned from X for life about 4 months ago for unknown reason. The worms are still inside the X apple. Elon cannot root all the bastards out. Missed you.

  17. Your writing has a beginning, middle and an end. Could this have been the X problem?

  18. I refuse to make a login account just to read content and allow somebody to make a profile about me, so I've been locked out of Twitter for quite a while now. I haven't missed it.
