TwiX purged of GC accounts?

I no longer X so don't know any details. Apparently GC women critical of Labour have had their accounts suspended overnight, including Shelley Charlesworth of Transgender Trend and Ann Sinnott of Authentic Equality Alliance.

I'm a bit sick of men shutting up women.

This account (m*skseverywhere) is now suspended.

Wonders will never cease - my account has been reinstated along with some others I know were suspended! Didn’t expect that!

Maybe an intern was left in charge over night and just carried out a personal purge!

But glad some if not all accounts have been re-instated.

Do you think would have dared cancelled JKR Shock

If it's one of the least used sites, where is better for a broad selection of discussion and links? With a large potential audience?

I posted a reply but it hasn't appeared. Or maybe I posted on the wrong thread?!

Facebook is still the most used platform, but over the years younger users have moved to instagram, then tiktok then ...

General opinion seems there isn't one overarching platform that everyone uses. It is quite tribal.

If you mean in terms of feminists, feminism discussion I dont think there is one.

And this isn't just about which platform, but quite a few women aren't interested in being part of a discussion platform. They prefer to write an article or post, and then open it to comments. So that change in attitudes has had an impact as well.

Suspect that FWR is the only open forum?!

The owner of Twitter is GC. If people have been banned they will have broken the terms and conditions.

David Tennant doesn't care. He doesn't have social media and if he did care he would have sued Glinner (and won).

Are you actually a teacher?

I think GC accounts are being reinstated but one needs to contact someone with a big account to help. There was a malicious attempt to censor GC and pro jewish accounts.

I know we shouldn't burden JKR with more than she already does, but is it worth someone on twiX @ her with the link to this thread.

As said up thread twiX is one of the least used platforms, and most of the groups some say they are following have other outlets.

And yes last week they announced they will now share porn.

Its main purpose is for lazy journalists who cant be bothered to do proper research and just pick up comments on twiX as "news".

@Blaquamarina is this the message you get when you view your account? My problem is that I’ve appealed but can’t access my original email I signed up to X with, so I let them know I changed it in the appeal box but don’t know whether they’ll bother responding to that. Anyway, I’ve just created a new account. Just got to try and get my followers back now!

TwiX purged of GC accounts?
Blaquamarina · 26/06/2024 15:24

I’m also another GC X user whose account was permanently suspended last night. I’ve appealed twice and have had responses almost immediately, telling me that my account will not be restored. There are clearly still a lot of TRAs working at X. They’re scared because so many women are speaking up.

I'm a bit amazed at the faith some MNetters show in Musk. As far as I'm concerned, Twitter is/was an appalling concept, and being taken over by the arsehole Musk has done nothing to improve it. My decision to never have anything to do with it remains one of the few good ones I've made in recent years. The format is antithetical to reasoned debate, and benefits the simplistic 'gotcha'.

And breathe... 😁

You are probably right. I only joined a year ago, and there are lots of echo chambers on there, not to mention infighting. It was just a good place to find out what was happening in the GC world from different perspectives without having to google individuals and their substacks / other social media.

DracoDormiensNumquamTittilandum · 26/06/2024 13:48

I barely use twix since musk started fucking with it and my life is simpler. I am re-reading the Ink black heart (not from choice, but I'm doing a whole series re-read and can't skip it) and the whole twitter thing already feels like it's dated, like a time from the past. Musk buying twitter then breaking it is the best thing that could have happened to online 'activism'

As someone said up thread, the big accounts will probably get reinstated, but the smaller accounts will probably get ignored. If anyone is willing to @ Elon Musk on my behalf I would happily DM my X handle. I only had 50 odd followers, but they were all quality (no bots) and I enjoyed following them. @BoiledBeetle if you are reading, you and I were mutuals.

Another small account here mobb_mum on Twitter/X. I feel like I have no idea what is going on without my twitter account ☹️
If anyone is willing and able to raise it with Musk, I would appreciate it.

rogdmum · 26/06/2024 13:09

I only see Elon tweeting that he’s looking into the Visegrad24 account deletion. I can’t see any mention of the GC accounts

And yet Elon Musk is looking into it. How peculiar.

Tenpintonpin · 26/06/2024 13:06

My account got suspended too, and I literally only liked a few posts yesterday that politely criticised David Tennant's speech - I haven't even retweeted anything for a year, let alone posted any of my own content. Honestly bizarre, especially since 'likes' are now supposed to be private.

Elon Musk has tweeted and they are looking into it.

Missing accounts include;
@AnnMSinnott
@LWS
@bdimyon
@stecilias
@DarcyWAHF
@GrahameParkGirl
@raqaellapaella
@SazuBurns
@alexrubner
@charlesworth102

Good. It sounds to me like someone has been running a targeted campaign.

madaashellshell · 26/06/2024 12:56

Thanks for that. It's frustrating not to be able to see what's going on, and thanks to those raising it with X and Musk.

DracoDormiensNumquamTittilandum · 26/06/2024 12:48

My twix has vanished. I'm GC on there but barely post these days.

ETA I had to log in and my account is there but there is nothing loading

@madaashellshell have you checked recently, I've just looked and I can see your account, I follow you. I lost quite a few followers overnight, and I had been posting about Tennant and LWS yesterday
