What Grinds Your Gears? :)

What did you do? Twitter even allows people to post racist stuff and not get banned.

Move to bluesky or threads.

I prefer bluesky though. Threads is a bit busier for now but I think bluesky has a chance to win that audience in the end.

The way things are going with Twitter, it isn't going to exist in its current incarnation for much longer anyway. It's hemorrhaging money like nothing else out there.

Twitter? The site a Musk Ox bought to let terrible people have their accounts back? What, were you accidently the most terrible person across the entire global internet for a second? lol

Ironic that they'd ban anyone anymore and for seemingly no reason...

I'm trying to figure it out, I still can't get on. One of the people I usually chat to on Twitter also has a Tumblr account and he told me that he couldn't understand it either that I never posted anything offensive. I would talk about horror movies and my favourite kills in the movies but a lot of horror fans did that This is a mystery to me. Someone had put up a post about being pissed off with people who say "I'm so OCD about this." and that they don't really have OCD then I was agreeing with her.

I might give Bluesky a try, one of my friends from Twitter recommended it to me.

I read online that they've banned people's accounts for posting too much on it that they see them as spammers. When I was reading through the rules it said that they could ban you if they think your account was hacked. I used Twitter on the computer in my mother's house, some times I would use it on my phone, I'd use it on my uncle's iPad and then I'd use it on my computer in my dad's house. Any time I'd log in using a different device they would bring up a message about my account being logged into with a different device and that they suspect that my account was hacked.

I had taken videos with my phone of parts of episodes of the TMNT series I was watching on my TV and uploaded them to Twitter. Would that have counted as breaking rules? Then again I've seen plenty of people put up videos they took of shows they were watching on TV.

I had self-harmed when my OCD was really bad and I talked about it to people on Twitter who suffer from OCD too. One of the rules on Twitter was not to encourage self-harm, would they have thought I was encouraging others to self-harm?

I was checking out Reddit and it appears other people are having a similar problem to me. Someone said he got suspended for making a joke comment about strangling his friend for making some comment. Twitter thought he was being serious about strangling his friend. My younger brother said that there were a bunch of people being suspended too because Twitter thought their comments were offensive.

There was a 2 minutes and 20 seconds limit on videos that could be uploaded to Twitter if you have a basic account. I had downloaded videos from YouTube of TV/movie scenes and used a video editor to cut out bits so I could make the length of the video 2 minutes and 20 seconds.

I had put up a GIF from Terrifier 3 too, I know people are offended by that movie. I'm not sure what else to think of.

There was a guy claiming to be Elon Musk sending me DM's on Twitter asking me details about myself and I ignored whoever it was and I think he got annoyed. I doubt the real him would even give a **** about talking to me.

I'm going through a list of possible reasons in my head but I'm baffled by it. It's driving my OCD nuts too over thinking it.

That sucks. Can send a message to a mod or something on Reddit about it? Or make a new Reddit account? Twitter, I dunno if it's even worth it anymore.





Slight grind... Anyone else notice this forum periodically not working lately? Sometimes it won't load or submit and I have to just stop and let it sit for a bit and check back to submit something. Not doing it constantly, but way more often than usual.

I should have worded it better, I'm back on Reddit again it was just a three day ban. I had made a comment about homophobes and religion which got me suspended that time, at least Reddit let me know which comment it was. I've been using away at Instagram in place of Twitter. I've been following a few TMNT fans on there including The TMNT Collector, he has an impressive collection of figures and other TMNT merchandise. I had uploaded a Leatherhead clip from the episode 'Hunted' from the 2003 TMNT show and The TMNT Collector tagged Frederick B. Owens in the post, Fred used a bit of the clip I uploaded in one of his reels on Instagram.

There's some guy who stands outside one of my local Tescos most days begging for money. He was inside today looking for money off people too. He's been doing this for a bit over a year now I think. He tried to sell me Fentanyl before. He tries to say that the money is for food, I reckon it's more for booze and drugs. I seen him going into the off licence with another guy shortly after I gave him change before. I'll have to start going to my other local Tesco instead or Sainsbury's. I hate having to change what stores I go to so I can avoid certain people
