Judd Legum.@[email protected] has been suspended from Twitter without any explanation
This site just restored a bunch of white nationalists but @[email protected] is beyond the pale, apparently
I’ve been on Twitter since 2008. Could be over at any moment.
A revealing moment for Glenn who supports banning journalists he doesn't like.
Glenn Greenwald on Twitter
“What happened to: -- Private companies have the right to disassociate themselves from anyone they want. -- Have you ever heard of "Terms of Service?" -- If you don't like how Twitter does content moderation, start your own social media site. Remember all those arguments?”

“Re: the banning of reporters who have tweeted about Elon Musk’s jet, Twitter's head of trust & safety Ella Irwin tells me: “Without commenting on any specific accounts, I can confirm that we will suspend any accounts that violate our privacy policies and put other users at risk."”
Paul Cantrell@juddlegum Screenshot please? I don’t want to give them clicks for this
yuletide@juddlegum @inthehands here is a nitter link https://nitter.net/alexeheath/status/1603571850709045249#m
Maybe we need a bot to convert these since I also don’t want to give them any traffic

@inthehands @juddlegum Nitter seems to be struggling tonight
@yuletide Yeah, it’s just “Tweet not found” for me
@inthehands yeah seems to be coming in and out not sure what’s going on
@juddlegum @inthehands https://nitter.lacontrevoie.fr/alexeheath/status/1603571850709045249#m
This instance seems to be doing better

@juddlegum @inthehands Well I started working on a simple bot but it seems the rules for botsin.space make it hard for this to work: https://botsin.space/auth/sign_up
No interactions with people who don't opt in to the interaction. If you mention another user, they must either follow the bot, or they must've started the interaction themselves.
So if I tag @nitterbot on someones post, the bot can't reply to that post with a mention of the original user? So this would make i.e. threadreaderapp not allowed
@yuletide Yeah, bot probably doesn’t work. Browser plugin might: fix/nix all twitter links internet-wide for those who want it.
@inthehands yeah there are several browser plugins but that doesn’t work on mobile! Started hacking on it here @nitterbot

@juddlegum He lies about everything
David FyhrieMore banning at Birdsite. Gifted article from Wash Post by Paul Farhi.
Lisa@dpfyhrie @juddlegum Ah ha, love it... never heard anyone call it birdsite. Need to remember that one. Nice to have a few laughs tonight aside from all the absurdity we hear constantly.
DeeJ DW@juddlegum Elon is acting like a typical fascist dictator. His paranoia is getting the better of him. Thank God all he has charge of is twitter..
Theresa@juddlegum To be fair, he said he did not ban accounts that are spewing lies. He said nothing about left leaning accounts spewing truths.
Helderweb@juddlegum Elon is getting into the sick trump world of fantasy. Glad I left the sick bird.
Spinach_Inquisition@juddlegum holy, for a second I thought he was in here and was ready to block/mute.

Robin from Colorado 🇺🇸🇺🇦@Fieryreddragon @juddlegum did this happen today?
@robinbrenizer @juddlegum I got suspended Thanksgiving weekend with no explanation 🥴
Lazarou Monkey Terror 🚀💙🌈@juddlegum that whole Trumpian 'there's always a Tweet'
Elon isn't even original, such a BORE!

Musk is proving megalomania a powerful drug.

David@juddlegum Elon's probably gonna start banning media outlets like the New York Times or Washington Post soon.
@juddlegum @david1 remember when Trump stopped having those papers delivered to the White House? 😂
Comrade Weez
Noah Evans N6TW/JQ3GPK@juddlegum I’m pretty sure the booing broke him.
Dennis Jernberg@aj6xk @juddlegum That on top of the huge narcissistic wound Grimes dealt him by leaving him for a trans woman.
@dennis_jernberg @juddlegum the simpsons memes with Chelsea must really hurt
Jenn@juddlegum I always think it will go down over a weekend though . . . But I made a twitter thread earlier this week about a quilting email list that burned down in the middle of a day once.
Dag@juddlegum been following you most of the ride.feb 2009 for me. Damned shame.
VBLes@juddlegum I appreciate you posting here. I'm on Post but like it much better here.
Artemis Persists@juddlegum @gghocket It is nicer here.
Fenix🔥 Resistance Starts NOW@juddlegum Are you posting there now?
Peter Principle@juddlegum Darkness at 8:30 PM EST.
Alex@juddlegum need journalists to start using mastadon or at lest cross posting until the get banned.
Green Hombre@juddlegum He's banning the people conservatives came to argue with. A real genius.
Leesamkap
Matthew L. Reznicek@juddlegum Shocked, shocked to find gambling going on in here.
Farley’s mom@juddlegum Just one less person to convince to dump the bird. Elon is all about making my life easier. #twitter #elon
Laure@juddlegum Musk also led mobs against people like Fauci, Roth and Paul Pelosi. He sicced mobs on innocent trans gendered people icymi. Zero sympathy for the journalists who ignored all those bright lines just to get ego strokes. It’s a far right megaphone. That’s all it is now.
βɛth@LaureM @juddlegum "Transsexual" is outdated and to some people, offensive terminology. They're transgender.
@LaureM @juddlegum My apologies, then. I had been told by a transgender friend of mine that "transsexual" was offensive.
Adam Ierymenko@juddlegum this whole arc just proves he actually is losing his mind. No 5d chess here. Don’t even see checkers.
Sam Tyson@juddlegum moderately surprised that wasn’t tweeted Dec. 12, 2022
Ezra Levin@juddlegum I’m starting to think this guy might not be on the level.
@juddlegum you are so on point!! Awesome!!
Ruby S.@juddlegum
Well, maybe more innocent times anyway

@juddlegum that didn’t age well.

@juddlegum he hopes, but he's purging their accounts tonight. 😮
@juddlegum he is a fraud always has been
Davewithturbos@juddlegum "so I can suspend you and feel all powerful".
HandgunYoga (he/him/his)
E.G. Phillips@juddlegum In retrospect would should have asked him to clarify what he meant by "worst" critics
