Now I'm banned from twitter I'd be extremely grateful if people could screenshot the best tweets doing the rounds! It was great to see that Oliver Burkeman one in the other thread, for instance. Thank you StarStarStar

You can still browse twitter without an account as well.

I feel like I'm watching the Scopes Trial.

You're blocked from viewing Twitter as well?

FermatsTheorem · 25/05/2018 20:32

Try a browser that uses a VPN so it can't see your IP address?

It's not even letting me on twitter logged out on my browser

There's going to be some cookie, or maybe it's your IP, or possibly even some clever fingerprinting....

Try an incognito window for the cookies, rebooting your router/using a VPN for the IP, and if it's something cleverer, then you pretty much need something like those USB sticks that have a whole virtual environment on them....

TBH, if the first one doesn't work, it's probably easiest to follow here.....

Twitter, the labour party, it's all got even more ridiculous than we imagined it could...

How did you get banned from Twitter!

TERFragetteCity · 25/05/2018 20:41

Loads of people were banned due to a load of TRAs reporting hundreds of posts and the algorithm bulk banning the lot.

VA - we miss you Flowers and the rest of you.

Not sure if you had just gone when this happened...

Venice are you not coming back? I heard it was just (ha, just) a suspension.

drradfem · 25/05/2018 20:46

Who knows, that's what I was told but it does seem like that Angry

I’ve never had a Twitter account and I can still view tweets by anyone.

SwearyG · 25/05/2018 20:54

Bastards.

MistAmougstElephants · 25/05/2018 20:55

Sorry to hear you were banned again Wine

mercurymaze · 25/05/2018 21:05

Jeez under his eye

2rebecca · 25/05/2018 21:11

It does seem to be just UK women Twitter loves to ban. Hope you're back soon although I hate the limited characters thing.
Can't believe some trans women think having a tampon is a fun girlie experience. It was the best thing about the menopause. Although I now have about 30 in a cupboard left over, presume they don't go off, although despite an AIBU thread on how every good hostess should put them on display for female guests like sweeties I suspect mine will just gather dust

ErrolTheDragon · 25/05/2018 21:34

'A safer environment for people to freely express themselves'?
Confused

Except GC transsexuals and women, it seems. Maybe they don't count as 'people'?

It's your cookies that are preventing you seeing twitter. In your browser settings, search for twitter and delete all cookies. Even if you don't go back to twitter, these trackers are currently tracking you so cut the fuckers off.

UpstartCrow · 25/05/2018 22:01

Use a sandboxed web browser and it will clear the cookies every time you close the browser.
Sandboxie is easy to use.

Lefthanddown · 25/05/2018 22:16

OMFG Terfragette what depths of hell are you descending to find that?
And the trans lobby say there's no need for mental health assessment! Perhaps Crisp could rationalise it for us.

Sorry your banned Venice, Though I'm sure you and Miranda will find some way to overcome the ban and carry on.

SuburbanRhonda · 25/05/2018 22:16

@2rebecca

I gave my unused boxes of tampons to the food bank.

WhoWants2Know · 25/05/2018 22:17

I can't believe these bans, based on people telling the truth.
