Kathryn Brightbill 🖋️Melon autolocked my account for tweeting about Florida Crackers, which is a positive term, meanwhile the n-word is all over the site
Misuse Case@KEBrightbill Don’t they have a state fair thing down there called the Cracker Carnival or whatever? It really isn’t a bad word down there.
@MisuseCase Lawton Chiles got elected governor twice while running around the state calling himself a cracker. There's also a museum, a Cracker Country Trail, and a bunch I'm probably forgetting.
@KEBrightbill Well, you know, the owner is a white South African and the moderators are in some offshore sweatshop in a country where they don’t understand the context for this stuff.
(I am not sure which country: I know Meta, TikTok, and OpenAI use this company in Nairobi but I don’t know what Twitter does.)
@MisuseCase I guess I can't talk about Florida politics on there because Elon is autobanning tweets that use the word, sigh
