So I went to see if my Bird account was unsuspended since Elmo's allowing Nazis to continue posting, thinking it was a blanket unban. And NO, my account is still locked. These are targetted unblocks.
I was suspended for saying that the Pope should "slap pedo-priests siilly" and it was considered "calling for violence" BUT LITERAL NEONAZIS ARE ALLOWED TO POST.
Elon, Trump, etc. are absolutely nothing more than frontmen for foreign powers to BUY anything that actually works.
Elmo's not going to unsuspend you.
@mcfate And I wasn't asking him to. I was jsut wondering if some unsuspensions were mechanical and not targetted. "Well, most people who actually DO hate speech and ARE nazis are banned, so if we just unban them that's be good for our people" kinda thing 🤣🤪
@artisanrox Mine was permaspended for calling Tomi Lasagna white trash. My BACKUP account was suspended because I said Ashli Babbitt was a fucking cunt who deserved the instantaneous justice of the firing squad pre trial :) They said I was wishing harm and death on ... a dead person. Fuck Elon and his bros.
@artisanrox I think you got out at a good time. Very very early this morning we started to hear from fired Twitter staffers, supposedly 3700 out of ~7000 are due to be fired & many are in Trust & Safety where they make the banning decisions (they were down to just 15 (FIFTEEN) people staffing it before today (heck it could be 0 now for all I know)
@VDOVault I agree. Honestly, the place was a perfect haven for nazis even before Elmo took it over because moderation was sooooooooo subjective. Mods were even told to be as unhelpful as possible. If any of these mods suspended my account I don't feel sorry for their job loss one bit. Good for 'em.
The Bird always operated at a loss. Wondering if the place was even built for this moment. 🤔
That's why they're willing to buy The Bird at such a great loss.
BECAUSE IT WORKS.
