First part of the process is making an email. Seems simple enough EXCEPT all major free email addresses require you to setup a secondary email to verify your primary email and if you don't, chances are you can't use this email to verify your account for account creations.
This is obviously done in hopes that you link an email that is linked to you in your verification step. This has nothing to do to ensure protection or get rid of automated accounts because it's easy for automation to do this secondary step.
So, you're forced to create two new emails from two different email providers and cross-link them.
Once that's done, you've got to setup your X account which is a nightmare in itself because their new "confirm you aren't a bot" thing is garbage with 10 questions you have to answer. It took me two tries to get it but since I took so long, it didn't properly load when I got it and I was forced to do it two more times to get it. That's answer 40 questions to prove you aren't a robot.
The irony is my X account got banned for being a bot even though I've never used a botting program ever and I don't even use AI to post.
Try creating a new KIA2 account and getting the ability to post anything.
Literally zero new people will ever join this site
the pedo spammer won
I hear that was an admin decision. Admins didn't like pedo spamming and was planning on banning mods/communities who couldn't get it under control.
It's almost like it was a leftists knowing exactly what he was doing and the Judeo-Admin fell right for it as expected.
There could have also been admin pressure for sure, but I know our dear mod was talking about tweaking the filters for ages, and the main admins were at least openly saying they were hands off on the issue.
Not saying it's one person's fault, and not another, but from what I personally perceived it was Dom setting up the filters, and the admins being like 'we don't even fucking care.' Again, anecdotal, and I could have gotten the wrong impression.
I just know the MGTOW mods complained the admin were putting pressure on them for the pedo spammer and the mods were mad cause they shouldn't have to be moderating the community 24/7 because they have lives, unlike the MOSSAD Pedo Spammer.
That's probably because the pedojeet was farming karma for all his new alts on mgtow before bringing them to the other boards.
KIA2’s issue was having one mod, vs multiple people who could easily remove stuff.
Or..the judeo admin and the leftist are the same person. As I theorized while it was still happening.
Yeah, makes sense.
probably a reddit mod killing competing communities
It's always the jews with you retards
How do you function with all of them living rent free in your head
Have you looked at who is in charge of AI in the USA. What race are they?
Actually Indians
They don't really function.
Lol

Many of those comments seem innocuous, what is going on there?
"CommunityFilter removed comment by DresdenFirebomber - Oh boy. The spiral begins."
LOL indeed
Doesn't look good. Seems like DoM hasn't been active for weeks.
Its such a joke. A site created to escape censorship just implements more censorship because its just what jannies do.
We live under a regime of idiots that gladly self censor and live in fear of being doxxed for being associated with someone that says the faggot or nigger word. It's truly infantile to limit your own thoughts because of the ruling dogma.
You can tell who is truly a slave because they reinforce their own chains with self censorship and they police other slaves for their masters even. "Don't say escape, massah gonna hear you!"
There are other boards.
KiA2 looks better.
The one where the one mod takes weeks off at a time, and the other has abandoned the site, thus relying on an automated filter to do anything, basically leaving the work to an AI?
THAT'S why you won't try anywhere else?
Bro this community is 1000% better with open debate and discussion when Dom the power bottom is gone. Suddenly you can't even say basic things that are common on twitter and YouTube because he reverts to pearl clutching reddit tier censorship about Jews or women or whatever.
Ive had a few accounts for different reasons, shitposting, lurking, retarded uni lecturers that wanted to use social media in the curriculum, but conveniently these were all so long ago they are old enough to be exempt from the retarded UK OSA checks and I never needed to prove my age. Also meant they were piss easy to set up back then and didn't need absurd cross email confirmations, phone numbers, or some other stupid stipulation that obviously does fuck all to stop problems arising since thr problems still go on.
I have an old Twitter or two. Hoping to recover one, but not sure how it even works now that it's X. Still, it's on my list. Hopefully it's plug and play, whenever I get around to it.
Proton Mail doesn't. Or at least it didn't when I last made one.
I've made proton accounts that were almost immediately banned and claimed to be breaking Swiss law. I just wanted a throwaway/alt email for pirate gaming accounts I didn't want to link back in any way to my prior official ones. Or I needed to make a new throwaway disc acc because I forgot the email pass to my existing one and got asked for verification I couldn't provide anymore. Forgetting the login details is on me, won't disagree on that, but at times the service is just flat out impossible to use because it, and others, don't like you trying to set up other accounts with brand new emails.
It does if you want to use the email to create an X account with it. They changed this years ago.
Can confirm with OP. It does require an activation email now, and it can't be one of the free ones, and unless you're paying Proton, you're only allowed one Proton account for each email account. So it all comes back to the same point, where you need to verify through one of the big ones.
I miss the days when all you needed to make an account was a username and a password. Zero email required.
Same, same.
Back when ICQ was the preferred chat service, usenet was how you sent files, and TEN was how you played with others.
They've stopped asking for phone numbers now? That's an improvement.
I've never gotten past the prompt where they ask for a phone number to send an SMS to.
The first platform to figure out a way to skip over all of this and just charge people $5 (payable in XMR) to make an account will do great. No subscription, just a single flat fee. Layer it over the original system and advertise it as a permanent guarantee against shadowbanning and any kind of deboosting. Elon could probably juice Twitter's earnings by a very significant margin by going the 2000's MMO route and having one-off "Twitter Basic" passes sold in pharmacies and WalMarts nationwide, which give you the anti-shadowban benefits of being a verified user without any of the extra stuff.
The "anti-botting" measures are all solved within a week by people whose full time job it is to circumvent them, so the only thing they do is constrain legitimate users who aren't willing to link their IDs (which is often the intent, but ensures that only boomers and idiots with nothing to say end up joining).
That amounts to, essentially, a cryptographic captcha. Brave Search uses those, and they're definitely better than the conventional ones.
You can't really use the compute for anything practical, both for technical and PR reasons (nobody wants to burn up their GPU mining crypto for someone else, and it's incredibly inefficient without a dedicated setup - there's a reason only malware considers it worth the tradeoff), but it's still not a terrible idea. That said, the CP spammers are human (barely) antifags with too much free time, so this wouldn't stop them.
We implemented crypto captcha on 8chan clear back in 2021. Its set at a mid difficulty that takes a low end PC or IOT about 5 minutes to pass where the average user gets through in about a minute. It stopped about 90% of botspam, with only the hand-guided turbo autist spammers still getting through.
I get the feeling that this is going to level the playing field significantly WRT Cloudflare-style monopolies. While conventional captchas are (by design) a treadmill that new ML models will be able to solve in a year, proof of work captchas don't go obsolete until Moore's Law eats them, and even then all it takes is a parameter change to get them back to the expected level of performance.
They don't need money as much as they need total control of information and data on every person that expresses or views ideas.
That's true of our enemies, but not everyone with power is an enemy, and even enemies are not perfectly aligned. The first mover on letting people pay some small but sufficiently-painful-to-a-botnet amount of money to avoid the now completely human-impermeable net of shadowbans will get a website of pure human training data, better engagement, more valuable ads, and more users.
Elon, for instance, wants all of these things and is demonstrably willing to make people angry. Someone should pitch him the idea of selling "Twitter not-bluecheck-but-I-am-verifiably-human-forevermore" cards at Walmart next to the MMO membership cards.
Elon has a bunch of baby mommas and they are all Jewish. He's an aspiring jew. His kids are Jewish. He is not ourguy.
My FB buddy has been trying to get me to use Twitter for years and I never bothered because before I used to be able to click on a good tweet that was shared on telegram or whatever and go look at comments and other posts from that account without having my own account, but they seemed to have changed that. If I was to go through the bullshit to make an anon Twitter account, what email services would you suggest? And do I have to use my phone number like on fb?
You don't need a phone number.
I created an account using a gmail with fake identification info and a proton email.
Twitter wouldn't see what you're using to verify your Yahoo or whatever. And IIRC the email account wants a recovery email. And does your ISP not let you create multiple email addresses and multiple aliases to those emails? Mine does.
Umm, 100% guaranteed all these companies work together with the US Government. It's beyond obvious at this point.
There's no other reason they wouldn't accept free email providers.
Yes, exactly. If they can't trace it to you (without you even necessarily realizing that they can), you won't be allowed to do anything on the internet soon.
What are you saying? You can send messages to people without the internet but it's illegal?
I thought you meant twitter account
then dont?
X is for sheep anyway, nobody cares and if you do you are part of the problem.
