I have never heard of this person before but she has popped up on my timeline this morning. She describes herself as GC feminist. No one can seem to follow her. Everyone that does follow her, is immediately removed. I have clicked on the follow button several times this morning already but as soon as you refresh, it’s gone.

I’m on Spinster, same username as twitter.

AnotherAdultHumanFemale · 16/08/2019 23:06

Please join Spinster Katie! You wouldn't have these problems there and we can all follow you. I feel like eventually Twitter will just be TRAs, wokebros and their female allies all tweeting wokeness day in day out not realising everyone else has either been banned or has left voluntarily.

Your account doesn't exist for me.
It does sound like you could have been hacked.
It's shit

RuffleCrow · 16/08/2019 20:26

It's so creepy. This is why i left Twitter. Although that's exactly what the MRAs want. (I've decided to no longer differentiate between different types of MRA)

Ambroise · 16/08/2019 20:19

Apparently my account doesn’t exist for some people, shows ‘no tweets’ for others and is telling some people I have blocked them, when I haven’t.

SaskiaRembrandt · 16/08/2019 17:46

I was going to say that it sounds like you've been hacked. FWIW, I've just clicked through to your profile and it's not there, the account doesn't exist.

MissLawls · 16/08/2019 17:44

Feeling a bit down about it really, which is silly as it’s only Twitter.

It's not silly at all Ambroise. When I was banned a couple of months ago it broke my heart. I have many "friends" on there. Virtual, it's true, online only, also true. But they mean a lot to me. I hardly ever get out and Twitter is my social life. I don't care how sad that sounds. It's true. I also need it for work.

I was incredibly fortunate that a few people stepped in to help. I know I was targeted by Corbynistas because boasted about getting me booted off.

It's not nothing. Online is where many people live now for all sorts of reasons and to have it snatched away is like banishment was in a previous age.

Ambroise · 16/08/2019 17:26

I’ve reported it as suspected hacking, but so far no word from twitter. I’ve had a few password reset emails so I think someone was either trying to hack me or doxx me. I know I keep being reported for criticisng TRAs saying ‘suck my dick’ but none were upheld.

beagadorsrock · 16/08/2019 17:08

That is just so ridiculous! Do you think your account might have been hacked and made to do something that would trigger a deletion?

Manderleyagain · 16/08/2019 16:48

You were following me, but now have disappeared. I am v new to twitter so only have 17 followers (including you), and that's the number it gives, but when I count the people that are showing in my followers list its only 16.... Spooky
So you are not there but yet still there.

Ambroise · 16/08/2019 16:04

I definitely don’t subscribe to any of those lists, I’m on them all myself. I have a few abusive TRAs blocked but that’s it. Twitter wasn’t letting anyone follow me at all, I promise it wasn’t me.

M0RVEN · 16/08/2019 15:56

I’ve never heard of her or interacted with her. But I tried to follow her out of interest and was told that she had blocked me.

I’m probably on some T**F blocker lists.

OvaHere · 16/08/2019 15:48

That's crap. More war on women by twitter no doubt.

Ambroise · 16/08/2019 15:34

I do appear to have disappeared from Twitter. It won’t let me log in and resetting the password hasn’t worked because apparently my account doesn’t exist. I’ve submitted a help request, but considering the ‘we can’t help you’ reply I got last time, I’m not holding my breath.

Manderleyagain · 16/08/2019 15:30

Oh dear. Reports on twitter that her account is deleted (not by her), and she has disappeared from my following list.

Ambroise · 16/08/2019 08:35

Tanni was great, she was DMing me and trying to get Twitter to respond.

It’s a relief to get it sorted, it would be nice to know what happened and why but seems unlikely Twitter will respond to me now.

Manderleyagain · 15/08/2019 23:01

It stuck soon after Tanni Grey Thompson tweeted about it. Maybe they listen to Baronesses.

littlbrowndog · 15/08/2019 22:44

💪💪🥊 Katie

Voice0fReason · 15/08/2019 22:43

I've followed you a number of times over the last few days but the most recent one from a few hours ago seems to have stuck.
Hope it is sorted for you now.

Yay! It’s stuck now!

Ambroise · 15/08/2019 19:19

Seems to be fixed now Smile

I suspect a lot of the 5000 will be off now they can actually read my tweets.

MoleSmokes · 15/08/2019 19:16

I had to follow you a few times but this time it seems to have stuck @Ambroise (I have got a different name on Twitter).

You are up to nearly 5K Followers now - let's hope it's not down to zero again tomorrow morning!

Ambroise · 15/08/2019 18:05

Thanks. Feeling a bit down about it really, which is silly as it’s only Twitter.

I don’t usually go down the whole conspiracy route but it’s been too long for it to be a glitch. And the fact they aren’t responding to you speaks volumes. I’m sorry you’re having this problem.

I just tried to follow you and had the same problem. Sad
