UPDATE: reinstated sometime afternoon April 18.

Twitter suspended my account again. Here’s my appeal. Yes I included @mmasnick‘s link.

<< Why have you resuspended this account again? What rule did it break? You suspended it for trying to share a WaPo link. Then you unsuspended this account and marked tweet screenshot “sensitive media.” Now you’ve again suspended the account for no reason. https://www.techdirt.com/2023/04/14/twitter-suspends-user-for-sharing-washington-post-story-about-pentagon-docs-leaker/ >>

Twitter Suspends User For Sharing Washington Post Story About Pentagon Docs Leaker

You know the drill by now. In October of 2020, the NY Post ran a story about the contents of a laptop hard drive that Hunter Biden apparently left at a computer repair store. There were questions a…

@kegill @mmasnick It's their way of draining energy and vitality from those to the left of Hitler. Just like "flooding the zone with s***", the aim is to keep us distracted and yet our attention on what they want us to have it on, unable to determine what they are doing or why. The only way out of this daze is to deprive them of our attention completely.

@joeinwynnewood @mmasnick

I’ve already posted this publicly but here goes.

I will treat your question seriously.

Twitter is digital commons I have enjoyed since early 2007.

A place where I have relationships with people I know in no other setting.

Where, over the years, I have curated lists of accounts on topics of interest.

Where discoverability is MUCH better than here.

I now have friends - real F2F friends - who are here but not there. So I have a foot in both places.

If you don’t want to read anything I share - most of which is not related to the birdsite - don’t follow me.

Or mute me.

Or block me if you don’t want me to see your posts.

There are certainly many things about Twitter as it was I miss, but I'd much rather encourage my network to move to Mastodon & offer whatever help I can provide to do so than continue to pretend that, on balance, it's a net positive for society
Mastodon may take a bit more effort to find things, but time well spent.
The only things I will go to Twitter for is direct communication with politicians, vendor support & organizations not here. And always encourage them to move here.

Do they understand the meaning of the word "permanently"?

Just wondering ...

@kegill Honestly the more people drop Twitter, the less relevant it will be. Try Mastodon, Bluesky, and Spoutible.

Please. 🤦🏼‍♀️

There is no one size fits all.

I have already addressed comments like yours publicly.

Also, THIS IS MASTODON.

AND BLUE SKY is Jack. And Elon.

What’s it to you? Do you really think everyone uses digital tools exactly like you do?

@kegill @mmasnick It looks and sounds like you may already be at the point of 'permanently' switching to #Mastodon instead.

@ShingoMouse

There are many reasons to keep both accounts. This time I still have my lists, so I can use the tool the way I use it.

Mastodon and Twitter are more different than Pepsi and Coke.

@kegill @mmasnick I mean, they respond with a feces emoji to journalists. Why on Earth are journalists still trying to interact with them?

How can #Twitter's signalling to journalists be any more clear?

@kegill @mmasnick lol you have to lick elons feet in order to get it back. Theres no free speech or reason on #twitter anymore. Only fee speech and opinions that suit the emperor. Twitter is a pile of shite. Leave it as fast as you can is the best one can do.

@kegill @mmasnick most of this apps has gone Ape or rather bananas so dis the big F and B Blues. A lot of proof of this is for real and true. no poke/fact checking necessary, not even in violation of so called comm standards, nor abusive nor deragatory or violent or against a person or group and nature. sometimes a simple like, then your branded. it gets more crazier darlings.
