Just that really

I followed and re-tweeted GC accounts, acquired 200+ followers and now I'm suspended

I have appealed, but I'm not holding out any hope

Looks like I'm going to have to generate another email account to get on again

Most of these aren't actually viable alternatives to Twitter, are they? They're completely different services which just happen to be lumped under the "social media" umbrella.

That's what I thinking. It is the most popular place to offer opportunities for strangers to exchange thoughts and ideas. It's not perfect and it never was. Humans are too messy for that.

Twitter has its faults but you can’t publicly speak with politicians, journalists, etc, on any other platform. It’s unique. That’s why it’s so dangerous for it to be captured by ideologues who hate free speech, democracy, etc.

I was intrigued by this so looked it up.

@Christinapple, That image is the only message I've received

I have no idea what caused them to ban me, whether I was reported or who reported me

And half the users Twitter does have are probably bots or onlyfan spammer accounts!

How did you manage to get banned from Elon Musk's Twitter? I don't waste my time making reports anymore unless it's a direct or heavily implied threat of violenc, nothing else seems to be against the rules anymore.

Anytime a GC account with a lot of followers like libsoftiktok or JK Rowling posts about a trans woman the replies are full of people posting pictures of woodchippers or GIFs of guns being loaded. At least they get perma-banned after being reported to both Twitter and the other option for the EU law.

Signing up again after being banned is against the rules, but it's owned by Elon Musk so I guess noone cares.

Alternative as Xtwitter is one of the bottom 4 social media platforms in terms of number of users, might be worth switching to one of the 11 platforms that has many more and possibly wider range of users!

Better use of your time and energy?!

@AlisonDonut, yes, that's right, you can't follow too many people at once and you can only follow a certain number without having followers yourself

I think it's a maximum of 5000 accounts

Those 200+ followers were hard fought for too 😭

How long before joining and following a load of accounts?

I found that if you joined and followed loads of accounts, it auto suspended you. I only managed to stay on by liking one or two, and then adding them in small numbers over a very long time.

X seems to be as ever thus.

The "other side" as it were, the people determined to uphold a completely unscientific, unethical and unbelievable ideology, seem to be those determined to repeatedly click report, report, report, report for anyone against the ideology.

There are bots created specifically to report and accuse GC people of "hate speech" or "violent speech" when people are basically saying something totally normal.

The bots end up winning because it's too much effort for the platform to actually analyse the reports.

GC people don't make bots to attack gender ideologists. We just can't be bothered. It's all a completely one sided situation.

Redshoeblueshoe · 06/06/2024 20:06

If you go back you might want to block certain accounts, some of them spend all day reporting GC accounts. I don't know if I can track any names.

This is the only message I get when I log in

I can't see my own profile, can't search for news or trending and can't see any posts

There were no warnings and no requests to take down any controversial tweets or retweets

Did you say anything that sounded even vaguely like a threat or violence? I don’t mean that was genuinely threatening, but I saw someone else was kicked off for some jokey post that had been reported as if serious.

Much as Musk says GC women are welcome, he must have lots of the same staff who were so keen to kick us all off before, and they will inevitably be trigger happy, given even the slightest excuse.

dunBle · 06/06/2024 19:46

What were you supposed to have done?

SpottedLeopards · 06/06/2024 19:44

I thought Elon put a stop to that nonsense.
