@_centrists_ This probably the last profile moment for "Sanity."

twitter.com/i/moments/1153…

.
@_centrists_ I have an interstitial page set up for it, just in case I ever have cause to create another profile page moment. But that seems unlikely.

Twitter Safety and Trust is completely out of control, at this point. User accounts are being suspended, clearly without just cause.
@_centrists_ Appeals are being ignored. People I know personally have waited weeks and weeks for replies to appeals that never came.

They've checked back to find that their locked accounts were now suspended.
@_centrists_ On appealing the suspensions, they've been informed by Twitter's system that their original tickets were still open.

Nobody had even bothered to look at their appeals. Twitter has gotten to be that capricious.
@_centrists_ Trolls don't care about that sort of thing. They use throwaway accounts to bother people, and when their accounts get suspended, all that happens is that the evidence of their past wrongdoing is hidden from general view.
@_centrists_ But legitimate users, like the people I know who got boned over, put real time and love into what they do, as they create something to share with others.

To them, a suspension is a big deal, because it robs them of the fruits of their labors. It's not OK.
@_centrists_ But Twitter persists in doing this, because like the trolls it loves, Twitter has no respect for the legitimate user or for anything he does.

This being the case, to continue engaging actively on this platform would make no sense.
@_centrists_ To do so would be to endanger the content I've already posted - content that I can't save, because Twitter has taken away our ability to save our tweet archives. Because "giggle, giggle, neener, neener, we do what we want."
@_centrists_ There are a few navigational links I'm going to install, then I'm going to log out of this account for what will probably be the last time.
@_centrists_ I was thinking of un-following a lot of people, but to be blunt, I'm just not that motivated.

At this point, why would I be?
@_centrists_ This is the link to that (probably) final interstitial page

…35t4urrhwefehrtynwef4yrtner.food.blog/oh-well/

Notice the way Twitter mangles the link, leaving it marked with nothing but an ellipsis, confusing the reader in a completely gratuitous manner?

That seems to be something new.
@_centrists_ They seem to have started doing that, today, and it's going to mess with any navigational links I install.

Twitter: run by trolls, for trolls.
@_centrists_ I unrolled the thread you see above

threadreaderapp.com/thread/1166114…

and archived it

web.archive.org/web/2019082718…

archive.is/Zly98

because I don't trust Twitter, any more.

@CestlavieQ I just saw your comment after doing a search under my own username, looking for replies, and I think you might be a little confused. I am @_centrist_, and Dan (whoever he is) is @_centrist__. I've never even met the man, much less been him.
@CestlavieQ @_centrist__ Would you please delete your comment, as you are tagging me in it in reply to a comment that I never made? Thank you in advance for your time and attention in this matter.
@CestlavieQ @_centrist__ Dan, @_centrist__, taking a look at your account, I see that you are fond of posting content that is not merely blunt and politically incorrect, but is clearly designed to be inflammatory.

@KirkKNUS For the record, since "Smirkin' Kirk Widlund" doesn't feel like telling the whole story, here is a summary.



Short form: Kirk attacked somebody for (correctly) guessing that the murders at the Gilroy Garlic festival were racially motivated.
@KirkKNUS The guess was correct.



This is not seriously debatable.
@KirkKNUS But Kirk's response has been to go on the attack, sneer ignorantly and suggest that we should be more positive about the racially motivated murders. Of children.

Any questions about the decency of this "man" and his movement (the Alt-Right) should be laid to rest.

@_centrists_ @KirkKNUS @threadreaderapp @mcspocky "“Because I’m really angry,” the gunman replied, according to Jack Van Breen, who spoke with reporters after performing at the festival with his band, TinMan."
@_centrists_ @KirkKNUS @threadreaderapp @mcspocky "Little more is known about the motive of the shooter, whom authorities have identified as Santino William Legan. But on Monday, disturbing details began to emerge about the 19-year-old Gilroy native, including possible links to the white supremacist movement."

@KirkKNUS LOL. Somebody obviously has no idea of what a leftist is. This is the reply Smirkin' Kirk really got.



Mockery, which he then lied about, because that's something that trolls do.
@KirkKNUS I notice that Kirk leaves out the context, which under the circumstances seems convenient. In response to a speculation that the shooter was an Alt-Righter who had been radicalized online



a simple two tweet thing ending with ...

@drewmckevitt I just saw the most interesting first fifteen minutes of a video about that



If "the historians" are immortalizing fake news on behalf of a known hate group (the so-called "Hebrew Israelites"), that is a problem.
@drewmckevitt In the short run, people will be defamed - people who deserve better. In the long run, History will lose all credibility as an academic discipline, if historians are seen supporting the effort to write fiction into the historical record, for political purposes.
@drewmckevitt The long run might not be so far off, in this case. The bad reputation of the thoroughly un-Jewish "Hebrew Israelites" is well established on Youtube. Rally around them, and you're going to be drawing a lot of rhetorical fire from people who will have the facts on their side.
