Anyone else having trouble with Twitter?

[iBiscuit]

I think I've been banned, although I've not received anything to say as much.
Have multiple accounts for different things - work, feminist stuff and fluffy trivia - all with different email accounts associated.
I can't help feeling that the middle one has marked me out
Anyone else?

I didn't know all those accounts had been banned. I've been staying off twitter a fair bit. It's a war-zone. The MN timeline - our posts are copied over to there, cut up and quoted out of context. A transactivist wrote a vile post, using the T word - and that's been posted up as an example of our "transphobia".

Meanwhile we're branded hateful bigots for saying a penis isn't female, and humans cannot change sex. And for wanting to keep males out of our sex-segregated spaces. It's madness.

Twitter thread below raises some of the issues with regards mass reporting etc.

Mayday4Women, Venice Allen & Miranda Yardley have had Twitter accounts suspended.

twitter.com/FemmeBitsu/status/999052811202510848 Have any of you read this? It's about a concerted attempt to get 'TERFs', radfems or whatevers banned from Twitter.

Well that was one helluva X-post. I think my pages got stuck together a bit there.

Important issues raised in the link we both shared.

The way that Twitter is being used needs greater awareness and understanding.

CharleyUchea banned today too. Twitter also blocking women’s IP addresses and phone numbers so they cannot rejoin.

Absolutely shocking and terrifying.

What the TRAs NEED to understand - and I hope some of them are reading - is that they WILL NOT SILENCE US. We will never stop talking about how fucked up and misogynistic trans ideology is. Ban us, delete our posts, censor us, try to physically block us from organising and meeting, but we are not going away. We will find new ways to speak out. We will keep on, more women are waking up to the danger of transactivism every day. You will not and cannot shut us up.

Twitter announced a new intended policy of permanent bans following (I think) three suspensions.
There was some anticipation about this on some TRA twitter accounts a while ago.
I'm guessing this policy may have been implemented this week?

Hear hear, wishiwas

The more they suppress us, the more we will talk.

We don't want this gender ideology forced on us.

What's the name of the account behind this silencing? Baz Erin or something like that?

I found it and they've changed name

Transactivists are now defining every account without preferred pronouns as transphobic, to be shut down!
(h/t @DykeSolidarity)

One alternative platform is MeWe. Any other suggestions?

There are a LOT of people suspended.

So not just women, TERFs and transexuals?

Ooh that is the same account as this beauty.

TERFragetteCity--that's the best illustration of Poe's law I've ever seen.

I'm only surprised they haven't gone after Ray Blanchard before.

TERFragetteCity. That's has to be a spoof account surely .

The mass reporting is really sinister. I'm not on Twitter which is lucky because I also don't have a preferred pronoun so wouldn't last long.

...but it isn't a spoof account, that's how far we are now, absolute batshit crazy. Thanks cool girls, thanks lefty dudebros, thanks for enabling this insanity.

Terf pls tell me that is a wind up

How can someone be that self absorbed, just how? It displays a certain level of paranoia that is really quite sad to be honest.

I've had a look at that account and I'm pretty damn sure it's a spoof/troll account - but Poe's law is increasingly looking like the only exceptionless law in the social sciences.

Blocked by shone Faye apparently

Jean Hatchet is pulling together a thread of those suspended mobile.twitter.com/JeanHatchet/status/999341080737976320

There is a post on there which says twitter is asking me for more information (actual links to tweets) about how @ TerfBlocker is engaging in targeted harassment both of individuals and women as a group

If anyone who is on Twitter wants to add to that it might be useful. Whether Twitter actually do anything though.............

I’m absolutely positive that is a spoof account poking fun at the extreme TAs. I wouldn’t use it as peak trans evidence
