I always assumed that when I finally got booted from twitter it would be for something way funnier than having a username in my bio
(to be clear, not currently banned. but my bio violates new policy so we’ll see if it happens)
@sarahemclaugh I know it is in a way capitulating to him, but I changed my bio and used the spacekaren.sucks link shortener for now
@SarahOestreich @sarahemclaugh You just need to share an article that refers to the jet tracker now.
@sarahemclaugh Same, not going to change my bio. Let’s see what happens. People who edited their profile names are stuck with them though, which is crazy.
@sarahemclaugh well clearly you’re not trying hard enough
@sarahemclaugh Both my bio and pinned tweet violate the new policy. Expecting to be banned any minute. “But I’m not dead yet.”
@PaintRockSage @sarahemclaugh Clearly you are not trying hard enough
@sarahemclaugh ditto, but I'm just a scrub, not an actual threat to him (which journalists always are to authoritarians)
@sarahemclaugh Yep, mine too. Been on since Jan 2009 and never been in bother, either warned or suspended. Now i'm under threat of being booted off for doing the heinous crime of putting my Mastodon username next to me twitter username 😱.
@sinky @sarahemclaugh Same as that but I’m not removing it on a point of principle.
@sarahemclaugh Me too. I have expected my tweets to get me booted, about the only reason to come here is to laugh at the videos of Teslas in flames (as he has not banned them yet).
@IncHulk @sarahemclaugh I think he plans to rename Twitter as Icarus. No?
@sarahemclaugh Same. I’m eagerly waiting to see if the policy will actually be enforced systematically or if it’s just a pretext for banning whoever they want without notice.
@lauraodelius @sarahemclaugh Maybe if everyone put a yellow star on their avatar he'd go away?
@sarahemclaugh not too late to tweet a bunch of gollum pics in the direction of Ankara.
@sarahemclaugh first they came for my ICQ number and I said nothing
@sarahemclaugh Such a missed opportunity. Le sigh.
@sarahemclaugh I assumed it would be a guilt by association thing
@Popehat I should’ve gotten myself banned at peak Erdogan posting. What a way to go out
@sarahemclaugh did they just ban you?
@tslevi Nah, sorry if that was unclear. But I believe my bio violates the new policy so I sort of expect to be removed
@sarahemclaugh I actually think mine does too?
@sarahemclaugh i assumed turkey would be involved somehow
@torriangray tbh that’s how I always hoped to go
@sarahemclaugh Hopefully having “go birds” in your bio won’t get you blocked here… 😂
@sarahemclaugh
I’m so glad I flew away from Twitter a few weeks ago.
@sarahemclaugh. Today I tried to link to my profile here, wasn't able to save my new "homepage url". Even a tweet and a DM (!) with a link here got rejected because of linking to malware. #lol
@sarahemclaugh Funnel your social media links through SpaceHey. Full "rel=me" support there, and it's not on Space Karen's naughty list.
@sarahemclaugh Right-whingers are dullards the lot of 'em.

@sarahemclaugh

I'm extremely dull so I just assumed my account would blink out whenever the site did but now it looks like I get to be a rebel after all.

@sarahemclaugh There's still a chance! you can still fart in the halls of the mighty!
@sarahemclaugh
I expect that may happen to me as well.
@sarahemclaugh Thats so funny. God the last 6 years of America are just a constant flow of black comedy. It's like being trapped in Bad Santa.
