I'm Suspended from Twitter

Joani Walsh did say she had only reactivated to report on a certain court hearing. Hopefully back soon.

That might be because she's deactivated her account for the time being. IIRR that's what is shown when an account is inactive but hasn't been suspended.

Talking of twitter bans, has Joani Walsh been banned? She live-tweeted the Caro vs SH case (admittedly not entirely coherently), but now shows up as "twitter account not found."

It really is, but I think it's worse than that. It's irrational and if I were being conspiracy-theory-minded I'd say it was designed to keep us off-balance, never knowing if or when we would cross the invisible line.

Name changed because I felt like it.

Just had my second complaint email from Twitter. This is what I wrote in two tweets (in two different threads as far as I can remember)

So biological fact is hateful now, is it? You do realise, don't you, that however often you repeat TWAW no-one outside your bubble actually believes this is literally true. Human beings cannot change sex and gender is simply a deeply restrictive and damaging social construct.

What about the harm that trans ideology is doing to the hard-won legal rights of women (at least in the UK) to their own single-sex spaces? How come the rights of a minority of trans-identified males trump the rights of 51% of the population - biological women?

Twitter says it has investigated the reported content and could not identify any violations of the Twitter Rules.

This shows how hugely unfair and inconsistent Twitter is about so-called hateful content. I reckon my tweets were pretty strongly-worded, yet I've been given the all-clear, while poor Jsoosty was banned for simply saying "You're not a lesbian."

Me too Gingernaut. They still think telling men they can be excluded from female single sex spaces is hateful. But telling women to die in a grease fire or that gun meme is fine.

Did you give them your phone no. Ginge? I’ve never heard back about my appeal. All I get is a screen telling me I’m rate limited.

It rather seems that way.

My account was temporarily suspended this morning because I had apparently violated some twitter rules ... but the last time I tweeted anything at all was 3 months ago - it was GC though 😀.
Are the twitter police having a clear out of GC feminists?

So have woken up to @racybearhold being suspended from Twitter, she'd been targeted by that meme for days, so edited it and responded in kind.

A sympathetic trans person in a senior role at Twitter would certainly make sense in terms of the way decisions go, lazymare

Is it about priorities at Twitter ‘police’ department or that some trans rights activists deliberately seem to look out for GC accounts.

I read that there is a transwoman high up at Twitter but don't know if that's just speculation. It's the only reason for the nonsense regarding a certain person who likes tampons. That or an investigation trying to gather evidence.

I deleted my main Twitter account last week because I couldn't look at the abusive behaviour any longer - it was the replies to Joanna Cherry's thread of examples of horrible tweets she'd received, just another untramelled stream of harassment, that did it. I reported a few of many of the instances of the anime-gun picture and thought, this is not what I want to be doing. Lately I have spent nearly all my time on twitter horrified and mortified at the treatment of women and reporting tweets. It's little more than a sewer these days. I switched to another account that I used mostly for Archers tweetalongs, but it was not much better. Sad - I met my husband on twitter in the days when it was (for me) mostly fun hashtag games. So no more twitter for me.

We all know this already but it is so frustrating. Leicester player Kelechi Iheanacho did not score on Monday night and so got a lot of racist abuse on Twitter. Strangely enough, it remained there for over 12 hours. The Professional Footballers Association are going to raise it with Twitter.

Is it about priorities at Twitter ‘police’ department or that some trans rights activists deliberately seem to look out for GC accounts and tweets to report? Both I guess.

A good way to get around being banned on Twitter is only retweet controversial stuff, not tweet it yourself. If it’s someone else’s tweet and it’s reported then you won’t get in trouble. I’m literally on my last warning with Twitter as I’ve been temporarily banned twice to can’t take any chances 🤨

I'm on lockdown on Twitter and only interact with known posters. That flipping meme of an anime character with a gun is a bloody disgrace but regardless of reporting still remains.

Oh no, Gingernaut!

More and more women's accounts are falling.

I think we were following each other on there. (I've just namechanged here because of doxxing attempts)

I don’t really understand about shadowbanning and all the differences between suspending an account and temporarily restricting it so have no idea if this is a new tactic

Dr Lesley (reinstate @BDimyon & Pilgrim T) Semmens
@LesleySemmens
Is Twitter using a new tactic for silencing women?

For clarity
@BDimyon
and
@PilgrimTucker
have had "some of their account facilities limited".

This means they cannot tweet, retweet or like.

When you go to their profiles they look normal, but they have been SILENCED.

I've just checked and Pilgrim and Clare's accounts are still there, but with no tweets since May 5th. Looks like they have been temporarily restricted, probably for 7 days. Still unfair, given that both are reasoned and intelligent posters, but that's Twitter for you.

I saw a tweet recently which said than when asked what Twitter is doing to protect women, Jack Dorsey replied that they had clamped down on misgendering. Says it all really.

I was banned after my first ever tweet. Tweeted This Morning after they'd interviewed Posie and India Willoughby. I asked if given the programmes treatment of Willoughby, she was now going to be invited on to discuss child birth, menstruation, breast feeding, menopause etc.

Banned immediately. A poster on here said I deserved it, that making an account to tweet something like this showed I was a CF. Other posters asked who got to decide what a first tweet should be about, and why couldn't this be my first one?

Never used the account since and no intention to do so. Twitter's not for me.

Martina's tweeted about Pilgrim Tucker and Clare Dimyon being suspended.

I’m currently on a 12hr ban.

For pointing out that a bullying bloke was being a typical bullying bloke.
