Judd LegumBREAKING: While @[email protected] claims that @[email protected]'s account will be reinstated "shortly," Lorenz tells me that she just received an email saying she is permanently banned and the decision is not appealable
@[email protected] @[email protected] It's almost as if you can't believe anything Musk says.
@[email protected] @[email protected] Lorenz's account is now viewable on Twitter, making it seem like the suspension has been lifted. But Lorenz tells me she continues to get this message when she opens the app.
Kellum Dander@juddlegum a reverse shadowban
James Dallas@juddlegum the fun part about these bans/reinstatements/bans/reinstatements is that we never know if it's intentional or if one of the engineers has gone rogue or if the software has a bug.
@juddlegum it's like trying to understand North Korean politics.
David Wasman💫@juddlegum I had to re-follow the account.
Daelv@juddlegum where's anonymous? :)
dreffed@juddlegum my account is back, but yesterday it was reporting suspended, but people were following me. Maybe a glitch in the matrix
Brewster Brownville@juddlegum FYI she has an account here and is telling us what is happening, so let’s boost her!
DistrictDave01@juddlegum @taylorlorenz ought to tell Elon to kick rocks, but more importantly, Taylor's employer (and other major media companies) ought to do the same. He's toying with them, and will continue to do so, apparently without repercussion,. #twitterpurge #twitter #Journalistpurge
David@juddlegum Sheesh. We’re gonna end up in another one of those situations like Elon Jet where some Twitter employee unbans her and Elmo bans her again?
Kwanza Osajyefo 
@juddlegum Leave him.
Bob Dobalina@juddlegum seems to me, the layperson, as long as people want to or care about being on Twitter Elmo has all the power. Maybe if we see the en masse exodus without all the drama of banning and appealing and pleading we take away the man-child's power.
Sports and Tech Nerd@juddlegum sort of viewable. Most of her previous tweets aren't showing up. Looks like a brand new account would.
@juddlegum I’m in no way a fan of @taylorlorenz considering how has she has covered the Heard/Depp trial, but I still don’t think it’s fair to suspend her on Twitter, without cause.
One vote to make a difference@juddlegum #Twitter is like a filthy bug-infested house. If everyone moves out to a new one, we can all visit and have a good time while that filthy house becomes irrelevant. #twittermigration #journalists #movetomastodon
@juddlegum this is a power trip for Elon.
Bellison22@juddlegum if we're searching for yet more divisive ways twitter can humiliate it's large influencers, I'm sure he can come up with more.
Quite honestly, I'm over 5he blow by blow.
It's like watching an abused person continually getting beat up then crying "they didn't mean it"
When do people of integrity just stop?
Tara Windflyer@juddlegum Twitter is in it’s death-throws.. being devoured by a pestilence. People need to leave it and not look back. At this point being banned or suspended is more of a badge of honor than something to get upset about. Maybe it’s the shove they need to break free of it.
LaOneHuman@juddlegum LMAO.....Anyone that believes Elon is Mentally Disturbed.
Antifa Tech Support@juddlegum Yes. Just like the Trump and Putin.
@juddlegum
tusk is an anemic trump

Bash O Wicks@juddlegum Elon Musk spitballs policy, and will retroactively suspend accounts on a whim. It also seems like he’s obsessed and on Twitter 24/7. He’s not well!
Fenix🔥 Resistance Starts NOW
Mark Williams@juddlegum her account is back but it looks like all previous tweets are gone. She also has a tweet linking to YouTube, which is now a policy violation lol.
hopeless wanderer@juddlegum things are going great
Dwight Williams (💉 x9)+😷🇨🇦@juddlegum I am annoyed and unsurprised.
Ruth Zakarin 🧶🪬😷
Maura@juddlegum
That is Elon's M.O. He is such an azz

Rawwwb@juddlegum Just making it up as he goes. The rules are Calvinball.
Agora@juddlegum I have the feeling your complaining gives him the motivation to keep doing this.
John Mastodon@juddlegum
It looks like Musky is retconning Taylor Lorenz's suspension to be blamed on a complaint from a plaintiff in a dismissed case - https://law.justia.com/cases/f…
on an article published in the NYT that Twitter users linked to - https://www.nytimes.com/2020/0…
Surely, purely a coincidence that it happened immediately after she was asking him for comment.
No word on whether the linking users have been suspended...
PJ "Vote Green" CoffeyHashtags are how people may find this. I'd suggest:
#Journalists #Censorship #ElonMusk #TaylorLorenz
#TwitterMigration #TwitterBan
and possibly #JuddLegum if you wish to "pointer" your work for archiving.
Rage Against Leaves@Homebrewandhacking @juddlegum
Yep. Just found it through this guy's comment
@rageagainstleaves @juddlegum Not a guy but thanks. 😀
Benj Soule🫂💙HumanityFirst🌅@juddlegum #Musk is apparently playing both sides of the game. Saying one thing and doing another. His Stans won't keep track, they are yes men. Journalist will remember but he does not care about them. Just like how Trump does not care about the constitution. #Journalism
@juddlegum Judd: use hashtags if you want to expand your audience very quickly. There is no search on Mastodon without them.
@brewster @juddlegum and a lot of us follow them here. Hashtag following is how we add stuff to our feeds
@juddlegum @rageagainstleaves I still can’t figure out how to follow a hashtag. Is it available on Metatext?
Charlotte Horseface@juddlegum The banned journalists should be reinstated if they agree to have a real-time tracking link pinned to their name so they can all be tracked the way Elon was/is. Seems like a fair trade off. 🤔
@juddlegum Everyone needs to leave twitter. Let him burn it down. Its already ruined. Twitter was my fav SM app & I loved it. That all changed these last few weeks. Im here now. 🙌🏼😎
