The ongoing Elon Twitter saga: "insert demographic" melts down

Will be interesting to see who makes a comeback on there... There are some which seme more likely, these people were suspended for dumb reasons:

Jordan Peterson? He was suspended over some critique of Elliot Page where he used his previous name Ellen Page... a heinous crime among the trans rights/woke types.

Dave Rubin
? He was suspended for RT'ing Jordan Peterson's tweet. FFS! :D

Milo (remember him)? He was suspended for being critical of the all-female Ghostbusters Reboot + Leslie Jones, she did suffer abuse but not from him but rather from some alt-right types.

The Babylon Bee? More trans nonsense; they had a silly joke "man of the year" and "woman of the year" thing, the "woman of the year" went to men (the Rock, Hulk Hogan etc..), the "man of the year" however included a transwoman. Would they have been suspended if they'd only awarded "man of the year" to regular women? Given the other tweet is still up there then presumably not.

Graham Lineham, Father Ted writer - he was suspended for some trans-related stuff too, he's hardly some far-right bigot though he does seem to be a bit too into his gender critical/feminism stuff.

---------------------------------------

Also the less egregious suspensions as these people took things a fair but further:

Kanye? - Blatant antisemitism

Katie Hopkins? - Replied to a black guy with a comment about how he'd better be hung like a baboon, technically quoting Blackadder but rather silly to use a primate comparison to a black person.

And lastly, Donald Trump? LOL, the big one... spreading nonsense about the election, stirring people up etc.. But he's not being outright racist, arguably mainstream media organisations and various woke warriors, BLM groups etc.. stir up public unrest and rioting quite regularly via blatant race-baiting.

I presume at least some of these might well get unsuspended, but would he do it all at once or would we start to see some sporadically return as they go through and review previous actions? Wouldn't necessarily be a good idea to mass unban people and you'd get some people who'd just break the rules rapidly again and cause all sorts of drama.

Perhaps he'll just change the rules going forwards and keep most bans in place save for some obvious ones - like it's known Elon loves the Babylon Bee so surely they're going to get the ban reversed and people like Rubin and Peterson, though they annoy the wokes, are hardly far-right types.

Giant over sinpliciation though. It was reported he'd have been banned 10 times over if he wasn't president. The final nail was what you describe (which even then you've massively over sinolified what happened that day) , but you've conveniently missed everything else.

All sound over the top and should be back, but give your over sinpliciation above, I wonder if that has happened here too. Jordon Patterson is a perfect example of something that doesn't add up. I would be amazed if that truly was all that happened. It doesn't add up.

If it is exactly as has been posted above, then agree they could be allowed back.

But honestly, why does anyone care. The right sure seem to be "freaking out" (as a user has put it in here) about who will be unbanned.

Maybe having those personalities easily available to them via twitter meant a lot more to them than they care to admit.

Do you really not understand it? People are interested in and spend time discussing far less interesting/consequential things, just look at almost any thread on this (or any) forum.
Nope. Generally nonsense takes no effort, and this seems an inordinate amount of energy to get oneself wound up about "woke" and trans nonsense.

Dude, you'll be telling me that Rooster tatties aren't the best tatties in the world at this rate (they are, fite me).

But that isn't what Twitter is. Yes some people are interested in that subject but the vast majority aren't. It is an incredible platform, they did go a bit ott on the bans, though some were fully deserved. It might be better to have time outs rather than perma bans for those that just keep stepping over the line. It might get them to check themselves if the length of time they are excluded rises with each offence. Having no consequences or no line will just turn it into Gab/Paror and the user base will plummet and his "investment" will be worthless.
 
A couple of guys have openly trolled the press, including the Daily Fail and CNBC, by pretending to be sacked Twitter workers... one of them told media he was heading home to his husban and wife, the other had a Michelle Obama book.



A pair of pranksters posing as laid-off Twitter employees tricked multiple media outlets Friday as the public anxiously awaited news on whether Elon Musk had begun axing staffers.

CNBC’s Deirdre Bosa interviewed two people who identified themselves as Twitter employees and were seen near the company’s San Francisco headquarters carrying cardboard boxes.

Skepticism immediately emerged on social media. One of the pranksters said his name was “Rahul Ligma” — a reference to a popular internet meme — and held a copy of Michelle Obama’s book “Becoming” aloft while speaking to reporters. The other said his name was “Daniel Johnson.”



"Dan owns a Tesla" :D

Just LOL if by the start of 2019 Twitter had more than 330 million monthly active users although in practice the vast majority of tweets are written by a minority of users saucy

Really, who cares? It's small by social media standards, Musk will either make it better or worse, probably even worse, but it doesn't actually matter. Serious post.

e: noobs.
 
Conservatives: 'At last, the censorship is gone, we can say what we like and the banned accounts have started coming back!'

Musk: 'I haven't changed anything, all the original moderation rules are still in effect, and I'll be setting up my own Ministry of Truth to police content.'
