Today the Irish Examiner published my piece about the hellscape of platform manipulation and spam that is the modern web. In it, I highlighted that such actions materially benefit Twitter.
Now, for the first time in 14 years, I've been suspended by Twitter. For "platform manipulation and spam".

Thank you for your journalistic integrity, and wear this as a badge of honor.🤔💔💙💙💙💙💙
It's shit that you're suspended - but part of me hopes he does it to everyone I enjoy reading. Makes it much much easier to delete my account.
I mean
Elon *is* a user ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
1> The name is stupid. It was named by a 12yo.
2> It honestly bothers Elon when you call it Twitter, and that means way more to me than trying to distinguish the Elon era with its own name.
Joking aside, this sucks, man. Glad we still have you here, though 👍🏼
The *account name* indicates otherwise.
CON TRAP TION!

Bro, no, it's that we literally killed off your existence because you're that vile. Enjoy laughing about it with your three pepe avatar/waifu followers in oblivion.
Or, rather, maybe you wouldn't be surprised. I'm not, anymore.
(Checks account.) "Guilty!"
Did get a chuckle seeing some RWers over there complaining about bot sentinel calling them problematic and how it's led to like some shadowban cabal and I'm just sitting here like, "You think the average user even knows that site exists?"
FAFO only matters to them when not them.
...or not. The Playboy Club was still cooler than he is.
oh and any GDPR-related request/orders are answered within SECONDS with "nah we won't unban you" despite not being related.
I have appealed the suspension and look forward to seeing what happens next.

Irony much?
Mine's locked for the first time in 10 years for suggesting someone English who joked they wanted to bathe in dirty water might easily manage this by getting into one of our sewage filled rivers. Only I used the word jump.
Wish I liked it better over here.
or one dark night out of the blue BAM he decides a whole country doesn't deserve already-paid-for-in-advance internet anymore.
or one dark night he buys twitter or shoves wires in peoples brains :'D
I got seven people were going to buy a Tesla to buy a different car.
I choose to not be a serf on the billionaire’s estate.

I swear there's a story about something just like this but it's escaping me at the moment.
you can guess the terf didn't get banned for inciting violence.
Blatant hypocrisy is a signal for not wanting to justify ones actions. And is always an insult to the people who buy the excuse
