Welp, my main account at the bird site got suspended, no reason given; & with this latest from Herr Muskrat declaring 'cis' a slur there, fuckit, I'm not going back.
In fact I hope that's why I was suspended: for using 'cis' with liberal abandon.
@Impious_Jade I wonder if there's any human involved. He could easily be banning chemists/biologists who talk about molecules being cis or trans.. LOL
I don't believe he has many humans working for him now, so it's probably all bot. Banning scientists is a positive in his world.
@Agatha @Impious_Jade Sadly, likely accurate.
@TrueBloodNet @Agatha Yeah I had a tweet flagged for "encouraging suicide or self-harm". The tweet in question advised someone not to do their own electrical work because if they did they might "k!ll themselves". I never could get a real human to review the tweet so eventually deleted it.
@Impious_Jade @Agatha Geez! That's so random! SMH I really wish it would go ahead and implode.
I rarely post there (just often enough to remind folks to be less of a bunghole and complain to commercial accounts), but I'd hate to lose contact with folks I've been friends with for over a decade.
@TrueBloodNet @Agatha Yeah same. I'd also started posting elevensies threads debunking conservative lies (about abortion, politics, religion, the poor, etc.). I understand folks found them informative.
@Agatha @TrueBloodNet I hate losing those threads. Conveniently, nobody can see them anymore, given the suspension.
@Impious_Jade @Agatha Sighs.. I keep reminding myself that Life is Change.
@Agatha @TrueBloodNet Then a few days later, voila! Suspended. Permanently. I have no idea why.
I feel bad at losing a social media account I had for over a decade, but I'll take the suspension as a badge of honor, given what the place has become.
