Suspended from twitter

Thanks for all the links upthread R0wan

Huh. I came up on the QFD too Twins. Mine was retweeting renee_rg tweet about the abuse Rachel Stewart was getting.
Lots of my GC follows get dropped. I’m always having to re-add. That ban checker is interesting though - it seems to suggest that the accounts targeted are primarily right wing/ conservative (and we know there is a huge propaganda campaign to attempt to portray feminists as having links to the alt right)
Twitter is a very interesting social experiment, and I may suggest even more ‘intetesting’ in social engineering terms than fb - I wouldn’t be at all surprised if that blows up at some point.

Apologies if this has been posted before, but you can use this to see if you've been shadow banned etc. I've got a QFD that I didn't know about. I'm also on Terfblocker

shadowban.eu/

I've had the same mobile phone no. for about 15 years. I get the odd spam call, but can block on my new phone and report.

Only recently signed up to Twitter, but being GC odd things happen on Twitter that don't on DH account.

I've only been on for a few weeks and twice now it said Twitter was taking too long to load and twice requested mobile phone no. Verification

Since then I get a daily call from a different mobile no. Never had calls like that really - all spam was 0 landline nos.

I never answer the calls.

Just been through the last fortnight and rang all different 14 numbers anonymously. Most were not recognised, cut to voicemail or went dead.

Has anybody else had this from Twitter?

I thought I was paranoid but just seen the pattern and that this absolutely co-incided with Twitter verification.

Do we know what happened to Rebecca?

Fair enough to ban people who threaten violence etc

Read the Daily Dot article I posted below. It's quite breathtaking. They disagree.

Mamaryllis , that keeps happening to me too. Feminists I follow appear sometimes in the “people you might like to follow” bit, yet I had not unfollowed them. It allows me to follow them again. What is that about?

Sounds like something odd going on there. Weird things do happen with Twitter that they won't admit to. I once had several people on mute that I'm pretty sure I never muted.

I’m so sorry to read that about boodleoops. I find this deleting and shadow banning of women very, very sinister . Fair enough to ban people who threaten violence etc, but women stating facts ? I don’t recognise this world as mine.

Gone

Boodleoops ? I hope not !

boodleoops has disappeared from Twitter - has she been banned?

Rebecca: are you out there?

Great twitter comments, but it's basically a catalogue of misogynistic abuse receipts so bear that in mind.

Tragic Melamin! I just can't get over the brass neck of them wailing about violent posts with misogynistic slurs being deleted.

You should see the shadowbanned posts of the people you follow, but not people you don't. It sort of pretends they are visible to everyone so I find it really gaslighty!

Random q - if you follow people who get shadowbanned, is that why you have to refollow later? People disappear from my list and I know I used to follow them - and I can again, so they haven’t blocked me (!) is that also to do w bans?

It's sad isn't it?

Get out those exceedingly tiny violins everyone:

Traceyracer - good thread on the statistic here:

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/3334473-BBC-reality-check-on-trans-prisoners

There are a number of articles and data on the Fairplay for Women website:
fairplayforwomen.com/prison-data-confirmed/

fairplayforwomen.com/impact-gra-reform-uk-prisons/

I didn't know almost half of all transwomen in prisons are sex offenders

GenderApostate your account will likely have been targetted.

Jacky Holyoake was targetted and mass TRA-Twttter reported for a long time. She wasn't the only person.

Twitter (& other social media platofrms) have been 'weaponised' by some, with the intention of 'no debate' and silencing dissenting voices.

Shadowbanning & 'Quality filtering' is also now being used to hush women up, Rose of Dawn has recently discovered she is shadow banned.
Many are indicating in their twitter names (red crosses etc)

I hate the hassle these platforms put women through - I guess we have to play the TRA at their own game - report them for hate crimes against women

Twitter is based in California so the anti GC feminist policies are crafted there by pro TRA staff. Twitter has always been a hive of misogny, both the company and its platform - as all the big tech organisations. Twitter is worse though than many - it has a frat boy, hacker mentality that they seem in no way seriously interested in changing - despite the rhetoric.

All the tech organisations mirror the big patriarchical power structures- not interested in customers and unresponsive to them, driven by profit and personal interest only, don't see women as an important customer base.

I've only been on there for a few weeks, but need a break already for my own sanity.
