Thread: Twitter & Facebook Purging

I got my Twitter account banned for posting something absurd, I can't even remember what it actually was but it was definitely something to do with taking the piss out of North Korea.

Honk honk.

I don't expect I'll use any of these social networks but I hope they'll weather the storm. I'd like to expect they'll put up a good fight against Silicon Valley and the MSM, but let's be realistic: this is David vs. Goliath. Don't get your hopes up.

Parler is back online, though not operating just yet. They managed to find people to work with. I think that people will realize what is right and wrong here and side with the right end of the stick. No one should be able to take down someone else's site for things their own site is guilty of and by a much larger margin.

I'm surprised that I'm not banned on Twitter yet. I use it very rarely, in fact I only use it to interact with one of the folks from the OSN Friday night meetups. When I swing by, I'll usually post some esoteric right-leaning or pro free speech meme and it's likely too underground for the snowflakes or algorithm to catch & report. Someday I won't even have the option of using social media even if I wanted to. OSN will be all I have left.

That almost sounds pitiful.

The glass is half-full. Unregistered will enjoy a continued stay at this forum.

For sure! :-D

I think it is best for everyone to just stop using social media, or at least enough people to stop to the point where it becomes relevant again. I much prefer forums anyway and always have. On social media, it is nothing but a screaming contest and grown adults having hissy fits like children.

Social media can be described as nowt but a bunch of mind-numbing popularity contests with an assortment of frighteningly unfunny people trying to tell jokes which are little more than "haha I say lolrandom thing". Pricks.

Oh yeah and HEY, DIPSHIT, NOBODY GIVES A FUCK ABOUT YOUR FIFTH SHIT ATTEMPT AT COOKING THIS WEEK... AND STOP PUTTING SOME EDGY TEXT OVER A PICTURE OF THE JOKER, YOU MINDLESS CUMSTAIN.

In the main, I don't mind seeing posts from my family and friends, and I like seeing posts from the groups and similar accounts I follow also. It's just that there's a lot of asinine shit on social media to go with it. We all know how much of it is out there.

I microwaved a burger earlier then put a bit of lettuce on top I'm the best so follow me for a load of ill-educated opinions on pointless fucking trivial shit and some links to buy cheap t-shirts for £20 even though they're mass-produced in China for 3p a go.
