This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Well, I have now been restored, after a lot of people appealing to Twitter Support and Elon, another repeat of the same appeal I did before, and a bit of magic.

Good news. Glad you were restored.

I got no response from my two complaints so I had assumed the fell into a black hole.

You might consider opening a Threads account by the way. That's the new Twitter clone that Instagram just created. It's where everyone from Twitter seems to be fleeing to after Elon throttled the number of Tweets a single account can see in a day (which is a very dumb move on a platform primarily supported by ads - reducing the number of ads a person can see).

You mean #Meta, and that's not the endorsement you think it it.

And an incredibly smart move when you realize that more than half the traffic #Twitter gets is from bots, who while being quite good at selling you stuff aren't quite sentient enough to want to buy things yet.

My man, Threads amassed more than 100 million users in less than five days, and usage of Twitter has massively dropped in that time period. It was a terrible awful horrible idea and he's retracting it quick in reaction to the disaster his decision caused.

Never any doubt you'd be back, as I know how these things go.

However now that you've demonstrated you're capable of sharing receipts when it suits you, it's time to do so when it doesn't. So where are these supposed antisemetic #Tweets you talk about? Where is that #Tweet of Foxy Dan celebrating your bananation? Can't claim the high ground if you're going to selectively present the facts just like they do.

Or you could just finally admit I don't lie, and look it up yourself, if indeed you haven't already.

The problem is that Threads auto enrolls you if you have FB or Insta shadow account - that 100 million isn't real.

Secondly - of you actually sign up for Threads and want to then close your account, good luck since it will also close your Instagram account as well.

It is no longer possible to browse or search #Twitter without being logged in, I have one account, and I'm blocked by Dan. So one wonders how you even saw it. And while I finally found the tweets in question, that was only because D&D had retweeted it, and then I had to find it on the #Google cache because Dan had of course deleted it.

So no, you don't lie, just make it difficult to verify you're telling the truth. And why should others put the work in to help defend your reputation if you aren't?

Fox is just total scum, isn't he? That tweet reminds me of the end of Animal Farm. He's exactly the type to be a Fascist when the Fascists are on top, just as he's a Commie while the Commies are on top.

Edit: And thanks for finding the tweet AA. You are 100% right that Pundit is his own worst enemy on this stuff. I'm used to his attitude of "I shouldn't have to explain myself!" as it's a part of my own Ulster-Protestant culture, but it's very often self-defeating.

Nope. FB ad Insta accounts do not shadow account to Threads. Not sure where you read that, but that's not how that works. It's oddly a little more complicated than expected to open a Threads account.

By the way, if that were how it worked, there would be billions of Threads accounts. Facebook alone has 3 billion active accounts. So, obviously, they're not all shadow accounting to Threads given Threads has only 100 million.

Yeah, I was kicked off of Twitter 4 months ago for commenting on a video simply stating an opinion.  The censoring hasn't changed much in the last 12 months...

Once again: when punks like Fox flap their pie holes open, archive, archive, archive.

I should not have to remind some of you about this.
