“X” /Twitter still staffed by communists
Elon Musk might own X (formerly Twitter), and he might believe in free speech, and he might have tried to eliminate those former staff who are most visibly anti-conservative and anti free speech, but he is still failing. Every time I get onto X/Twitter, my account is unfairly hamstrung in some way or another, some of my posts are flagged for mysterious reasons and causes, and eventually my account is either locked or shadowbanned.
The latest just occurred tonight without any warning. And of course there is no recourse, no appeal process.
Apparently my account is now flagged as a source of “spam.” It is a ridiculous claim, because I hardly use X at all. And when I do I post my own unique content, repost a few other essays or memes I like, maybe put a new joshfirst.com blog post there, make a few salty comments along with all the other salty commenters there. For spam to occur, something has to be done a lot, and all I do is post my blog essay and then hit the re-post button a few hours or days later. This is both allowed by X and is done by virtually all content creators.
What I do is what X/ Twitter was created to allow.
My X censorshp experience is shared by many conservatives, whose sole violation on X is posting while conservative. As we all know well, liberals/ socialists/ woke/ communists cannot withstand competition in the marketplace of ideas, because their ideas are bad and hurt people. Vast majority of people reject hurtful leftist ideology and policies. So the left always have to artificially censor and suppress their opponents.
Thank God we have TruthSocial to rely on for actual free speech.
First X made me go through ten “Arkose challenges”, which is a deliberate waste of time and a form of harassment
My account met zero of the conditions X says will trigger an account lock or flag. This is just targeted harassment because the account is politically conservative
