#TheTwitterPurgeThread
1/ 🧵
This is an open letter & 🧵 to @elonmusk … What I am have to say speaks for thousands of us on Twitter.

I never ask for retweets but I am asking now. The only way he sees this thread is with your help.
Share. Share. Share.
Thank you, Catia ♥️

2/ 🧵 Hello there @elonmusk. I’m taking a leap of faith here by saying some things I think need to be said. There’s a lot of people on Twitter that had or have an account that jumped for joy when you bought the crime scene.

3/ 🧵 Finally! A man that has the means & the vision to make this a Town Square for EVERYONE. So many of us applauded the purchase and we let you know by sending out a lot of positive tweets of support & gratitude to you.

4/ 🧵 You gave us hope Elon. That means a lot! Without hope, what’s left? We read stories about your plan to reinstate accounts, that you would right the wrongs & the left had a meltdown bec they don’t like free speech. We felt like a new beginning was right around the corner.

5/ 🧵 We’ve learned a little bit about the boss here too. Your quick wit is very refreshing and always appreciated. I know most people have you set on their notifications to see what you’re gonna say and do next. You defend what’s right & call out what’s wrong & we love ❤️ that!

6/ 🧵 I know I speak 4 thousands of accounts on & off Twitter right now. We are the ppl guilty of having a different opinion from the Gestapo woke folk that pulled all the strings at Twitter. We were all shot virtually by the Twitter firing squad 4 our differences on politics.

7/ 🧵 Your #TwitterFiles showed us exactly what we already know. You had to hate Trump, love Fauci & tow the line to play on the Twitter playground. Twitter was radicalized from within with the influence of political institutions & the biased media. You get my point I’m sure.

8/ 🧵 We were erased here simply for not being woke. Please bear with me as I paint a picture for you.
Let’s talk about Kathy Griffin. We all watched her hold up a bloody severed head of Donald Trump. She was inciting violence, a clear Twitter violation. It wasn’t satire.

9/ 🧵 It was an implied threat. She’s still here. She was later suspended for impersonation of you by you. She’s still here bec she gets a pass. We did NOT incite violence or threaten anyone but we got no mercy. They were erasing us while applauding her.

10/ 🧵 Peter Fonda tweeted Barron Trump, a 12 year old child then, should be caged with pedophiles. Suggesting the child should be gang raped. He never lost his account & although he is dead, his Twitter account is still very much alive. They were erasing us & applauding him.

11/ 🧵 I’m sure you get my point by now. Theres a lot of accounts that had zero accountability bec of the Yoel Roth goons at Twitter protecting them & while they did, they virtually executed 1000’s of us for disagreeing with them.
I mean this guy 👇 decided who got banished. 🤦‍♀️

12/ 🧵 In early 2020 Twitter created a new violation category called “platform manipulation”. What a great idea! I knew right away it was a set up to cleanse the platform of people like me the “enemy”. They called us bots 🤖 & went after us like hunger games. The purge was on.

13/ 🧵 So they purged & purged & purged some more. I know a whole bunch of people that lost their account under the guise of platform manipulation. We’re not spammers or bots. We’re just real people that were led to slaughter by the Trust & Safety” guy. Frightening he had power.

14/ 🧵 Most people I know that lost their account had an average of 75,000 followers/following sized account & were here 4 many years. We tried to survive in what soon felt like a maximum security prison. Then Twitter came 4 us like an army in multiple purges on multiple dates.

15/ 🧵 So by early January 2021, poof, we were all gone. I personally was suspended on 12/22/2020 moments after using the hashtag #StopTheSteal. That didn’t sit well with the Gestapo at Twitter. I Had my account for 9 years. 9! In a moment I was erased by platform manipulation.

16/ 🧵 Every1 has their own story & all ended up just like me, gone. We didn’t break laws, incite violence, threaten people or spam people & we’re certainly not bots. @jack & his army knew exactly what they were doing. He lied. They put us on blacklists.

17/ 🧵 We see you Elon. You just bought what should be the greatest social media exchange of ideas & news sharing on planet earth, the Main St of social media.
There’s a lot of people here hiding in plain sight wearing a disguise just because they wanna be part of…

18/ 🧵 The community and conversation here. Does that make us criminals? I guess that depends on who holds the remote control there now. We all lost our original accounts due to overzealous radicals running Twitter. You know what I’m saying. You fired most of them I think!

19/ 🧵 Elon, so many of us came back & opened new accounts so we could be part of Elon’s Twitter. I hope people don’t get punished 4 that considering we were unjustly suspended by the Gestapo at Twitter. We want our original accounts back. We want our voices back. We need you!

20/ 🧵 I’m sure by now you’re thinking ‘I didn’t own the place”. I know that, but you own the place now, which leads me to my point.
On 11/23/22 you asked Twitter if we should get amnesty. 72.4% voted 🗳 YES! It was a landslide.

21/ 🧵 “The people have spoken, amnesty will begin next week”…that was over a month ago. Big blue ✔️‘s are being reinstated & while we applaud their return, what about us? Will we ever get our original accounts back? It’s been a few years Elon.

22/ 🧵 Wouldn’t it serve you well to reinstate 1000’s of accounts that had 1000’s of followers. Imagine the activity our accounts could gin up. Advertisers would have more exposure & many of us own businesses & might become advertisers ourselves. There’s revenue there somewhere.

23/ 🧵 Traffic will increase significantly on the site. We engage. We share. We contribute.

You did not become a billionaire without thinking about & knowing how to make money 💰 Many of us admire you & respect you for that ability. We applaud success. Jealousy is for losers.

25/ 🧵 WE are your supporters Elon. The left hates free-speech & they are attacking you for it. What the left is doing to you right now is exactly what the Twitter employees did to us. Cancel culture has to stop. You gave us hope so we are counting on you to make it right.

26/ 🧵 There is no other platform like Twitter. There’s no place like 🏡 as they say.
This is our social media 🏡.
I hope you personally see 2 it that we all get our original accounts back. Please right the wrong. Look at the people that held the kill switch on our accounts.

27/ 🧵 We were right about everything. We know what happened to our accounts & we know why. What a dangerous place to be when one side of society silences the other with help from a rogue govt & media. Like a kill the enemy moment. This is #America for Gods sake 🤦‍♀️🙏🤦‍♀️

28/ 🧵This👇
Don’t punish people 4 creating ban evasion accounts when in fact, their original account qualifies 4 reinstatement barring the deal breakers u outlined. Another reason to restore our accounts now, to right the wrong. Is @ellagirwin making those decisions?

29/🧵 The #TwitterFiles came as no surprise. You’d probably be suspended right now if you didn’t buy the place 🤷‍♀️ For real 👈

I hope u see this 🧵! May 2023 bring you love, peace & prosperity.

We’re waiting on you to please fix this for all of us. Bring us back!
Catia ♥️

We’re a loyal bunch Elon. Everyone I know has had your back since the moment you closed the deal. The radicals want you to burn. We want you to succeed. It’s time. Have our back as we do yours. We will always be on your side. We just want our true voices back sir.
