Warning about twitter bans

[Pratchet]

If you are tweeting stuff that might get you logged out, switch off the wifi on your phone. Or you get an ip ban that affects other members of your family.

Locked not logged

IP bans?
Don't they realise that many hundreds of people use the same IP?
Are you sure it is an IP ban?

I don't know. We were locked out at the same time. Really spooky.

What do you mean by licked out? I’ve been finfing it hard to get on but have no problem getting access when not logged in

Sorry - locked out!

I’ve been suspended but I can’t tell if I’ve been permanently suspended or if it’s just temporary. How can I tell? I am a complete Twitter novice - it’s only the 3rd thing I’ve ever tweeted ffs but I seem to have displeased that ghastly Green non-non-male...

Or you could just try and not say offensive stuff that gets you banned. Just a suggestion.

What, like women don't have penises? That's offensive, is it?

I didn’t think it was offensive so I have appealed, but from what I’ve heard I don’t have much chance with that.

PS dinosaurs - like stating offensive biological scientific facts such as women don’t have penises?

It is to Orwellian misogynists.

I find it it very offensive when transwomen claim to be women. It erases my identity as a member of the class who face oppression because we possess a female reproductive system. I am going to start reporting anyone on Twitter who offends me like this.

Here is an example. You are made to delete your own tweet before you are allowed back in. They don't delete it for you. You have to do it. There's something very sinister about that. That's why I captured it before I pressed delete. They want us to vacuum clean our minds of bad thoughts like "a man is a man".

Yeah it’s like some kind of purging process where you have to cleanse your mind of doubleplusungood thoughts of menbeimg men.

Men being men!

Thanks JezzaL. I’m not being given the option to remove the tweet or add my phone number, so I guess it’s a permanent suspension. I can’t even delete my account, which under GDPR is surely illegal? (But before I accuse Twitter of doing anything untoward, it’s probably just me being thick...)

Won't be an IP ban. That's silly.

You are made to delete your own tweet before you are allowed back in. They don't delete it for you. You have to do it. There's something very sinister about that

Wow... being made complicit in your own silencing. That sounds like some sort of coercive control type tactic.

Lost: thanks, I find that reassuring 👍
