Twitter seems to be the place where they ban you because a Nazi reports your posts.

I guess. I don't really want to sit here and defend FB but they're at least making an effort to deplatform horrible people. Twitter doesn't seem to give half a gently caress about that.

It was removed on the 7th, Dixon made a stink in numerous groups about it. This is also the fourth iteration of the page, created in late 2018. It's a cycle, they stay up until they violate TOS again.

Nah, it was restored. All of the followers (or whatever) are still there.

Does Twitter require you to supply a copy of your ID to verify your account? When I was banned FB requires me to scan and send a copy of it to prove I was who I claimed.

That isn't actually what I meant. I wondered if twitter required you to prove who you were to get a suspended account restored, not a verified account. I was reported on FB for pretending to be a deceased person and had to send my ID as proof that it was actually my name.

Was it twitter or Facebook that just said they can’t treat radical right wingers the same way they treat other hate groups like ISIS because then a lot of national politicians would get banned

The verified should just be for celebs so you could tell the actual Chris Katan account from all that imatators. That was probably the idea at first but chuds turned it into a joke.

Facebook was the one whose leaked guidelines said that white nationalism wasnt hate speech and like there are tiers of racism that are acceptable or some crazy poo poo

Also there was that whole thing where they helped perpetrate genocide

That was the idea at first, but also I'm not sure what you mean by joke. Its intent is still so you know that the person posting is that person (or, at the very least, the designated representative for that person). It's not like MAGAFrog1488 can just get a verified check because they ask. EVS got one because he is, unfortunately, a notable person.

Facebook's official guidelines were that white "supremacism" was bad while white "nationalism" was a-ok. The fact that these two things are literally the same didn't factor into their decision making.

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.

In a just society, all powerful individuals would be brought to heel by the working class until they are broken in mind and spirit and turned into the servants of the working class.

I'm pretty sure a large part of the reason Endgame had a sharper second and third week drop off was that after the first weekend there weren't that many people who hadn't seen it left.

Yeah, I've had friends who saw it like the second week and there was barely anyone in the theater, but as you say that's because everybody already saw it.

I'm not really, but still a bit surprised twitter doesn't have some kind of protected account thing where you have to have someone actually verify all claims against an account.

You KNOW they'd just use it to protect the chuds. "Oh, these accounts generate a lot of heat, we should protect them. What do you mean, actual violations? Nah, it's just people upset they're being de-personed, who cares? The real money is in the Nazis!"

Does anyone recall a very minor tangent in this thread a few months ago, about an overwritten review of Carolyn Nowak's Girl Town in TCJ? I just got around to actually reading Girl Town, which I loved, and thought about that review again, and want to add, a billion years after the fact, that the original review was also profoundly out of synch with the playful, often goofy charm of the actual book.

Edit: And going back the review is also snittier and more condescending than I remembered, so retroactive apologies for being a little soft on it way back when.
