Question about words that get you locked out of Twitter

[SleeplessinSoCal]

I followed a link to a Twitter thread to support Rep. Park Cannon. Tweeted: "l read that they are charging you with a felony - probably just so you lose your right to vote - for knocking on a door. Quite honestly horrendous. They should all be tarred, feathered and run out of town on a rail."

I thought carefully before hitting "tweet". Tar, feathers and rails have a history in the south to deal with injustice.

"Tarring and feathering is a form of public torture and punishment used to enforce unofficial justice or revenge. It was used in feudal Europe and its colonies in the early modern period, as well as the early American frontier, mostly as a type of mob vengeance."

I think using this response is the best figurative way to be equal to the cruelty and injustice of the new Georgia laws. But Twitter doesn't take context into consideration.

1. I was permanently banned for wishing Trump would "stroke out".

They denied appeals and I am out... such a great loss and void...LOL

4. I used to imagine T***p would eventually explode.

A logical conclusion...

2. A friend given a week suspension from Twitter

For using “tarred and feathered”

3. That's what I'm talking about. It's part of Southern history.

I was locked out before over something I thought inane. Maybe it's a three strike thingy...?

5. I think bans and suspensions on Twitter have a lot to do with how many followers an account has.

I've seen some truly horrific tweets, by Democrats and repubes alike, that Twitter lets stand if the tweet comes from a person with a huge following.

I'm talking about homophobic, sexist, violent, and racist language (by repubes) and really foul and graphic language (by some Democrats) and the Twitter heads do nothing.

For the rest of us, there is a different set of rules. We little people get suspensions and bans on a regular basis.

I use Twitter as tool for information but I never 'like' anything, 'retweet' anything, or 'tweet' anything original. I pop in once or twice a day for maybe 10 or 15 minutes and then I'm out. Fuck them and their suspension and ban policies.
