Allum: New Twitter leadership appears to be purging right wing anon accounts, incl ones that have never tweeted. Suggests this purge is based on who you follow, not what you’ve tweeted. (twitter.com)

Oh, good. They're finally taking care of the Russian bot problem. That'll really show 'em for liking tweets made by actual, factual, verified, literal fascist nazis. The walls are surely closing in on fasPutin now.

I'd hazard a guess that it's more likely they're banning people who were in various spicy Spaces (Twitter's new voice room thing)

My follow list is full of edgy RWs and I'm just fine, other than finishing a week suspension for calling a faggot a faggot

If you were still on Twitter, expecting some sort of reprieve, you are a fool.

Twitter is not, and never has been, an ally to free speech or debate.

When you use that platform, you simply continue to empower those authoritarians.

I hate to play devil's advocate on something like this, but it's possible these accounts are genuinely bot accounts that upvote posts without posting isn't it?

I know some of these big companies did actually slowly get drug into banning a fair amount of the feminist hate speech eventually...

Someone actually considered anything feminists might say to be hate speech? Weird.

I remember seeing on reddit a while ago an admin clarify that "r/ fragile white redditor" was allowed while the parody "fragile black redditor" was not because reddit's policy against targeting people "based on ethnicity or identity" actually only refers to "vulnerable" identities, meaning it's perfectly ok there to harass people for being either white, male, or christian.

Figured it'd pretty much be the same anywhere: It's ok to call for the genocide of men because we don't like men.

Goodness I absolutely despise these people and their word games. Not that reddit invented the game. The whole equality and tolerance movement was a scam to trick nice people and get their foot in the door. Political correctness was a power play. Neomarxist tactics.

Another phrase they like is "keeping communities safe", as if you can be in danger from words on the screen.

If there's a reason, it's likely not their own sense or morality, but that every time another feminist attack and purge happens, bidens poll numbers sink.

I saw someone had an interesting point - I think on here but I'm not sure - that the conditions they've created are what often result in a takeover by the military. People are just so frieking sick of the shitshow they'd welcome a strong coercive leader who sits people down, shuts them up, and lets you go about your business if you stay out of politics.

I don't think it would really be the military, but I'd personally strongly say Trump getting elected was a direct result of the shitshow they kicked up. You could literally watch hillaries poll numbers drop and trumps go up the more louder the feminist push got.

Don't mean to sound overly optimistic, I just have seem some of the feminist-fanatics banned etc - sometimes.

Well I'm on Gab and last night a bunch of new users joined saying they had been banned on Twitter. So unless bots can create new Gab accounts and state as such, which I suppose is possible, but more likely they are just banning people they don't like.

the active users here at KiA2.win are all just schizo personalities of 1 guy in a basement in Arkansas

What if they are, and that guy is YOU?

Definitely not, i follow a ton of shitposters that got purged... still came right back with an alt and were back up and running but this is definitely politically motivated.

I just read stuff on twitter and don't have an account, but I do (did?) read Book Cat, Martin, and Current American Citizen (as well as a couple others not in that tweet that got locked or nuked); and they are not bots.

I understand you point that it wasn't a bot account.

At the same time...your other comment says -

Yep. I lost my shitposting account.

If they actually shut down feminist shitposting accounts I think it would be worth losing the non-feminist ones as well. I share a lot of skepticism they'll actually be fair, but at the same time a lot of these things eventually come down to these places being tired of being in the middle of the whole shitshow. "Everybody OUT!" so to speak.

This is actually a good thing as its nice and overt, they're not even pretending to be a platform anymore. So this should ideally lead to twatter complete destruction.

While its infuriating to see censorship on this scale they’ve honestly crossed the line into helping conservatives broadly.

Better your ‘enemy’ doesn’t know who they’re fighting; they’ll never be prepared.

Let them live in their ignorant echo chamber while we keep winning in reality.

It helps in the sense that it forces right-adjacent or sympathetic people to commit to alternate/parallel institutions a la the "Based Draft". The more skilled and intelligent people who don't see a future within the mainstream regime, the more skilled and intelligent people are available to oppose the mainstream regime.

When is it easier to hate and oppose someone: when you think they're a friend/ally or when you know they hate and oppose you back?

Genocidal levels of hatred for white people seems inevitable at this point. Arguably it's existed all along but just wasn't public the way it is now. If that is to be the future then I want my side to have as many and as good of resources at its disposal as possible to counter that. It is easier to get those resources when they see no future in mainstream society.
