My God, Twitter is so incredibly stupid.

[Tommy Carcetti]

So some idiot made a Covid denialist tweet:

“No masking
No vaxxing
No testing”

My response?

“No breathing
No living”

Get it? It’s not that hard.

Twitter’s wondrous AI bot instantly determined I was “encouraging suicide and self harm” and temporarily locked my account.

Technology and algorithms—aren’t they a wonder?

1. I have no problem with Twitter

but then I don't have an account so that makes it easier I suppose.

[NNadir]

7. Same here. I do click on many of the "tweet" threads here, but it's a bad habit.

[Sherman A1]

13. I really, really try to avoid them

I find Twitter to be worse than useless myself.

[NNadir]

16. I certainly agree. It's the old soundbite popularized and distributed. n/t.

2. I'm coming off a month in Facebook jail tonight.

Apparently they don't take kindly to calling someone a moron.

11. i all of a sudden a few months ago seem to be in read only on meta.

3. Never go there unless someone on DU links to it nt

[Rebl2]

10. Same here

No Twitter or FB for me.

4. Social Media in general can fuck off and die, as far as I'm concerned

Look where the dumbing down has brought us….

8. You do realize Democratic Underground is social media right?

[Sherman A1]

12. Well, there is that, but

ya know there on a roll there..................

[irisblue]

15. I love my DU, I made serious life long friends from yahoo groups & cat Twitter.

[Blue Owl]

17. I view DU as more of a topical forum site than a SM platform

Sure it may be a form of digital social interaction, but DU (as far as I know) doesn’t track my web browsing habits, plaster my screen with advertising if I’m a star member, allow bullshit feeds from foreign bots, or create Zuckerbergs, etc.

Sorry but I’m a Facebook hater! And Twitter too. I realize it’ll never go away…

18. If Zuck were being pulled to a Guillotine, I'd likely cheer. I had an acct there,

10 yrs ago for 20 minutes.
Way way too many baby photos being stolen for pedophiles delights.
You have a good night, I'd love donuts for tomorrow-looking at your emoji.

[Goonch]

5. Oh I dunno....

[FakeNoose]

9. You didn't report the Covid denialist

... who tweeted "No masking, No vaxxing, No testing." Am I right?

BUT

They reported you for tweeting "No breathing, No living."

The best revenge is to report them rather than try to wrestle brain cells with them.

[Catherine Vincent]

14. I know what you mean, they are ridiculous

I posted that Republicans should be kicked to the curb in n November and they suspended for me inciting violence.

[riversedge]

20. oh good grief!!

[riversedge]

19. I read it as sarcasm-or something along those lines. A machine is not able to pick it up.

I would contest the lock. But will admit I do not know how.
