So, hands up if you have been blocked by LM on Twitter?

Due to the fact that I have never actually had any contact with LM, and had only liked (or did the heart thing - I'm a bit Twitter illiterate) 2 comments on a Twitter feed (1 - very politely pointed out that LM has not actually spoken about a single women's issue since being in the role and 2 - pointed out, again politely, that LM seems to be more interested in trans issues than women's issues).. I'm going to assume it doesn't take much to be blocked by LM.

I have never posted anything derogatory or even commented on anything to do with LM On Twitter.

Have I managed to be no platformed without actually saying a word? Hmm

Teething?! Tweeting!

megletthesecond · 20/02/2018 22:45

I'm not. I've never challenged her but I do follow various accounts she certainly doesn't like.

Stormwhale Start here, look at who comments. @WomansPlaceUK

MrsJoshDun · 20/02/2018 22:46

I follow DrRadFem
Jennifer James
Woman’s place U.K.
Gender critical greens

Amongst others, so I should think following them plus a lot of #labourlosingwomen tweets would get me blocked.

Hmm

I just got blocked. Hurray!

I don't follow them but wanted to see if I could view them. I could - so can't just be an automatic block.
Then I did comment but they made an odd argument about the origins of 'peak X' and oil... so I pointed out they were incorrect.

Now I follow @LilyMadagain instead. That's quite funny.

WillowWept · 20/02/2018 23:04

Yup me too.

Although I discovered today I'm on terf blocker so no surprises

SophoclesTheFox · 20/02/2018 23:04

I'm not blocked, so I can see that LM is teething about peak oil.

I thought that was a dig about immaturity Grin I like the image of being grizzly and grumpy over something, maybe drooling a bit.

Thank you for the suggestions for who to follow. I think I'm starting to get how it works.

I'm not blocked. How is that fair?! I'm on the terfblocker list and even tweeted at LM once and still haven't been blocked.

If you're blocked, you will have missed out on such gems as this statement of support for the one of the candidates running for a Youth Labour position:

twitter.com/green_gatsby_/status/966083397796933633

"Kira is a great example of what young people are capable of. Even though she's running for U19 Officer she has a political intelligence most adults will never have. She has led complex campaigns to save LGBT groups and spoken up numerous times on issues important to her. She has an ingrained experience of political structures - having participated in Youth Parliament and and through her work in the party, and if elected will provide a vocal voice to members that are too often sidelined. Whoever has the youth has the power and Labour is very lucky to have Kira. I'd urge you to give her your vote."

"vocal voice" is probably my favourite, though there are lots to chose from...

OlennasWimple · 20/02/2018 23:20

Have you looked up what "peak oil" means yet?

Ereshkigal · 20/02/2018 23:21

Bizarrely not.

Is her Twitter madigan_lily??

Writersblock2 · 21/02/2018 00:00

I’m not blocked yet and I’m not sure why. My account is full of GC and I’ve commented on his tweets. Damn it!

soup00 · 21/02/2018 00:17

And who is lily Madigan?

thebewilderness · 21/02/2018 00:18

This is my third week on twitter and I just checked a bit ago. I am blocked by The MRA Madigan.

thebewilderness · 21/02/2018 00:19

Madigan is the 20 year old male who was elected women's officer and has been heading up a purge of women from the Labour Party.

OkPedro · 21/02/2018 00:30

I've just been blocked 😂

mamaryllis · 21/02/2018 00:34

Question - is it theoretically possible that they are just adding everyone that uses the search function to see if they are on it?

Is it possible?
I mean, I got caught in jeffreygate and had my password broadcast to the four winds. I'm not terribly geekworthy.

NotAWhacktivist · 21/02/2018 02:10

Just decided to check if I am blocked. I am and I have already made the terf blocker list after 21 days on twitter.

I don't think I had any interaction with Lily (unless I answered someone else and the reply automatically included lily. I did this with Paris Lees recently as I didn't notice they were listed as a recipient when I was answering someone else).
