That's the problem with "mis, dis, and mal" information. It doesn't really mean "lies." It simply means "things they don't want you to know or notice." And get away from Twitter if you can. It is a cancer that can easily be starved.

i use their ads as things to not buy.....

Expand full comment

No that’s not the way. Twitter is ad supported. Targeted boycotts of their advertisers would get their attention a lot more then leaving entirely.

I do that as a matter of course anyway. Haven’t purchased anything Nike in years and don’t shop at Target, plus others.

Just don't do it!

I've never purchased Nike - even I did receive a gift of a pair of second-hand shoes.

The reason any platform has ads is because of the size, type and activities of users. No users, no ads. Have you seen ads on SafeChat?

Why do they advertise in a Super Bowl game instead of a local weekend game?

Expand full comment

But you can’t meaningfully change the number of users on Twitter.

If you were a company, which would bother you more: the loss of one eyeball on your ads or the loss of one paying customer? You have a thousand times more power as a customer than as an ad viewer.

There is a mistranslation here. I was talking about the obvious: that advertisers only advertise if there are people see their ads.

That'd mean I would have to disable my ad blocker

At the very least every last thing should be cross posted to a couple of other places. Can be gettr, gab, parler, mastodon. I still feel like I have to click on twitter links to see what interesting people are saying and I don't understand why that is. Just cross post you silly thought leaders!

Cross post and make sure the graphic can be copied to a clipboard. Then your followers can take it back to to Twitter and post it.

Easy to say, but I've met a *lot* of really good people on Twitter and would hate to lose touch with them. I have accounts on other sites, but the communities just aren't there (yet).

I've been off and on Zero Hedge for about 8 - 10 years and there was a concerted effort at one time by a small group posting repeatedly anti-semitic comments. The regulars cottoned on immediately and it was obviously one of the 3 letter agencies trying to poison the site.

The anti-semitic ranting was so boring, stilted and bizarre that it was easy to just tune it out, but of course, it was a serious problem which needed to be addressed.

It was vile! And I believe at that time the comment moderation was run by a different entity so it was impossible to block them. However, the others were pretty good at ignoring them.

I wonder how Berenson will behave on Twitter if he wins his lawsuit to force them to let him back into the treehouse. Will he get suspended again within minutes, or (more likely) will he figure out how to thread the needle and thereby become infinitely less impactful but achieve his dream of being welcomed back to the table by his northeast liberal elite colleagues?

I think Defiant L's were banned because they are about to embark on the next wave of hypocrisy where they can begin posting 3 posts in each box. 1)Would be when they were anti vax because Trump was "rushing it 2)Vaxes ned to be mandated or else grandmas will die and you are selfish and now it's going to be 3)I was always against this vax- we weren't given enough information!

At some point will they realize that censorship is like waving a giant red flag proclaiming “TRUTH HERE” for all to see?

In theory, this should be the actual Rubicon for the people on the left willfully denying that there is anything wrong or strange going on with Big Tech fascism.

An account is now censored for literally showing two things people (who are not censored) actually said- without commentary, addendum, alteration, or advice.

Literally displaying what indisputably, objectively IS has become MDM.

HOW DO YOU COVER UP A VACCINE GENOCIDE ?

Blame it all on the deadly virus they made.

https://theagingviking.substack.com/p/how-do-you-cover-up-a-vaccine-genocide

Expand full comment

Yeah, it's like Twitter and Facebook and the WashPo and the NYT and the MSMNBCBS are all part of a governmental system which openly admits to lying to people for its own reasons, and accuses others of spreading lies - and those alleged lies turn out to be true. And that same system is doing everything in its power to coerce people into being injected with a vaccine which neither protects against disease nor stops spread of disease, unlike any vaccine in history - and lies about that. And that same system has exempted the makers and providers of the vaccines from liability for any harms or death that these vaccines which are not vaccines cause. And that same system is doing everything in its power to coerce people into carrying a document which attests that the bearer has received the requisite number of doses of this vaccine which is not a vaccine, in order that the bearer will be able to travel, or to buy or sell, and since the document can be forged or lost or just get wet and fall apart, it's easier to just inject a microchip. And the churches which get a tax exemption from the government which deceives people, actively admits to the deception, and keeps on doing it, while falsely accusing people who, as it continues to turn out, are telling the truth, of telling lies - these same government-supported churches also are herding people into getting these vaccines which do not vaccinate, and refuse admittance to those who do not possess the document - and, in the future, may just have a chip reader at the door... and they're a part of the system which deceives, too.

And I've heard of such a system doing such things before, a system which lies, which scares people, which herds people, which deceives people, which requires people to receive some alteration to their body, in their hand, in order to buy or sell... The Revelation of John the Apostle, the Apocalypse... So not taking the vaccines which do not vaccinate, or being chipped, the system which lies and deceives and the people who eat up the lies and persecute those who do not believe the lies, all of this was foretold in a very short manuscript written very nearly 2000 years ago. And that's very interesting.

Perhaps the time has come to begin educating the entire world how we all managed to survive, flourish, eat, socialize, drive, communicate, get married, have kids, get divorced, work, live, play, and even die, etc. etc. etc. sans big tech or whatever the hell you call of of this crap. Unless, like so many of us, who've never partaken in any of this, you'd see it as a no-brainer. How many years of your life are you wasting and throwing away addicted to all this BS? A cyber attack is just what the doctor ordered. There's still cash and landlines and as anyone over the age of 75 will tell you doesn't use a computer or smart phone for anything. Automation has been the greatest detriment society has known. I don't think the baby boom generation would be alive today if it weren't true.

All I've got is email (1 account) and internet, oh and a landline phone, and cable TV because my wife likes to watch some of the movies. Got rid of the news package, they just pi**ed me off. Including Fox. I've survived just fine, some may even say prospered. Colleagues who ask for my cell # look at me in shock and disbelief when I tell them I don't have one. Then after they recover, they say something like "Gee, I sure wish I didn't have one... boss calls me 24/7 with inane requests that could have waited..." (Actually we do have a cellphone, with the Ting $3 a month service... but it only gets used when we're on the road; turn it on to make a call, then off. Thought I'd best be truthful; never know who might be watching... or listening...)

Pretty sure we're related or most definitely would make great neighbors!! Same here -

I have an AOL account which is always a tell tale sign of AGE! Hah! You did however beat me on the TV in that I've not had one in 25 years. I had the actual set but only used it for Netflix movies/documentaries which I got by MAIL but that was also 5 years ago. There's no good movies now either. I too have my landline and also have a flip phone I leave in the car and everyone also laughs at me but I respond at least I'm not addicted like all of you are! I still use maps or my good ole sense of direction to get around. Even though I'm retired, I drive PT on weekends and everyone is appalled I've never used GPS! And . . . . I drive all over the tri-state area. I glance at a map before I leave and off I go. Do you know how many people tell me they don't know how they went somewhere and just listened to GPS? There was a story a few years ago about GPS taking people into a sand pit on their way to a casino in Atlantic City. 17 cars a day!

YouTwitFace is junk-information.

It plays the same role in the information diet, as the central aisles in supermarkets play in the regular diet.

It does the same thing to dopamine, as sugar does to insulin.

In general, people who get tetchy about being banned from one of the YouTwitFace platforms, are actually indicating that they want as large an audience as possible: either they want to monetise that audience, or they get their own dopamine shits from having 'influence' - but they want the audience to be there to be harvested.

The current situation is somewhat different; the stifling of counter-argument in the most pressing issue facing Western civilisation (the current failing mass-inoculation experiment) is a crime against humanity, and being 'de-platformed' in that context is a good reason for cries of "À la lanterne!!"

Still, it has red-pilled a LOT of people. Red-pills are achieving critical mass (which only requires 2% of the population: 2% of committed non-compliers will bring down a system).

I've been BLACK-pill on Pharma/med, media, and the State since late last millennium. It's the only weltansschauung that has any hope of giving the bearer a chance of getting a heads-up on the intended end-game of the parasite (political) class.

It's practically a super-power: I am never surprised when a policy fails to fulfil its STATED objectives, because my prior us that its ACTUAL objective is the funnelling of vast amounts of wealth to a group of cronies.

We live in a kakistocracy. It is time to tear it up by the roots. Anyone who is identified as a WEF stooge must be barred from holding any role in State institutions - and any time their names are mentioned "WEF stooge" should always be appended.

No surprise then, that I've been banned from Twitter since well before it was cool - since before this failed US bioweapon was a twinkle in Fauci's eye.
