Yeah, but if he was posting edgy internet teen stuff on there in the 2000s it stands to reason he'd also have been here too.

He was loving tiresome. Now, I'm glad that's not a bannable offence because I am too poor to go unban myself regularly, but can't pretend I'm sad he's gone.

Flaps has taken a unfunny “turn downwards”, 99% sure he found out where a rl trans friend of mine lived off of her bus photos on twitter after twitter stalking her for weeks and falsely reported her to the police for covid violations.

I’m also hearing that someone is adding goons on twitter and pretending to be my new account and referencing him so, yeh that’s most likely him as well.

lol yeah this party is so hosed. It's probably for the best.

e: In 1983 a Tory prime minister solidified their power over a woefully inept social democratic opposition by riding a wave of jingoistic post-crisis populism. Huh.

I don't know if I could even bring myself to vote Labour to "keep the tories out" these days. It almost feels like tacit approval and at least write in candidate, "none of these bastards" has a measure of catharsis.

Yeh it’s something else, what he seems to be doing is targeting goons and building a list of trans women to follow and harass, but it’s incredibly targeted so he will pick one woman and fixate on her for weeks and weeks until she blocks him or goes private.

Talking about how Flaps used to poo poo up the thread is a waste of time. Talking about how he's making GBS threads up people's actual lives, posing as other goons in the process, is important.

If Östalgie isn’t the term that Germans have for nostalgia for East Germany then it certainly should be.

Having searched that’s apparently exactly what it is. Great term.

it feels that way sometimes! i don't care what he's up to and i am so tired of the comparison being the first thing that posters itt whip out - it was overdone a full year+ ago. my personal preferred strategy of politely ignoring it has catastrophically failed - please could we shut up about him? i went back to look for how long it's been since he was banned (year and a half) and there have been twenty seven loving pages of search results for just his name, ignoring the catchphrase nicknames, the overwhelming majority from this thread - we talk about corybn living rent free in people's heads, christ.

some prick is on twitter is not news, neither is some twitter user being a danger - no one is being protected here in any meaningful sense, certainly not by vapid comparisons to a long permaed poster. and in fact i am informed as i tragically have constantly been that he's banned from twitter, soon i'll be hearing about his alts on twitter - christ. write an SAclopedia entry like the other trillion weirdos have had and can we please collectively move on.
