Hmm...
Just got cancelled on Twitter (X) the other day.
No legit explanation - just generic "violated rules", stupid forum fake human challenge with likely no correspondence back... Thing is I've known lots of people getting cancelled there, such as Offensiveness MaXXXimVs a buddy of mine who does adult pulps. He was surprised it took so LONG for him to get cancelled with all the pron and stuff. There were tons of Japanese artists harassed off there, for "Loli" art and even "Sugoi!" and one man who did some really neat concept arts based off Native American Mythology. The latter was really harassed by a bunch of "1/128th --native tribe here---" but his depictions were not disrespectful. I was hoping he'd do an interpretation of "Old Man Coyote"...
Myself I just pumped my books which are coming out at a glacial pace though I'm casually accused of using AI. Heh, do you want to know how fast a commercial AI engine bans me over "Death on the M'Kunga River" much less for trying to work out plot ideas for my pulp stories and double-check my existing text for new stories? Hope I didn't burn out circuit boards. It was like having Fluffy and Uranus from "Duckman" review my works.
Oh, and I argued a bit with people...
Pure human sh-t spraying sh-t in toxic liquid from their mouths just burst in and screamed then called me a coward when I blocked their fake accounts and made up new fake accounts.
That's the big problem with so-called Web 2.0 "Social Media"
Anyone who is a REAL person is hindered by a block. This is a "Pen Name" of course but I'm from a real family of some name and want to make my own stories not as a representative of the family though it'd be "Rural nobility" and "Why...?" to many. If I go back under fake names pumping my works again and again I could get sued by Twitter/X or legally served papers for stalking.
However, tons of people who do nothing but troll again and again just harass people all day since they literally have nothing better to do. Some of these literally hire bot farms (pre ai- ai script spam engines) to make up tons of fake IDs to industrial strength spray their sh-t. They don't really care the issue, they'll just harass anyone not on the right "Side" in a group, but then spread sh-t to cause arguments if it gets quiet. And ban them they make up 1000 other. "Social Media" does NOTHING to combat these people because they need the buzz to inflate their own numbers. You'd think Elon would have gone for this since he argued he paid too much for Twitter and most of the traffic and people were bots and that'd prove it overnight...?
Anyways, the HELL with it.
I think I'm better off without it.
"One Man's Opinion" but all web 2.0 and 2.whatever is a dopamine engagement bait engine and everyone is "Shadow-Banned" except a tiny trickle while big companies get to shove their products and fake engagement in one's face. So we think we are shouting out into the world but are just getting stuff mirrored back at us to try to get us to buy products. I mostly got sh-t investment scams and drop-ship products that were junk at 10x the Amazon price and 20x the TEMU price...!
We've got to cut it and go back to Web 1.0 and private hosting.
Twitter, Reddit, etc. All these "Free" things are just "Dead Internet Theory" in practice. There's almost no "Social" in social media - you only meet scummy India / Chinese people with stolen photos of models trying to get you to photograph your junk so they can blackmail you or they are rich and there's an investment opportunity...
Yeah, I'm using Google Blogger now but I'll get my own web its much deserved facelift soon and probably start a script/blog maybe find a private web TOR/I2P. I can at least Wordpress from Dreamhost - real Cancel Proof.
All this "Cancel these days for any reason/no reason" you just can not TRUST these so-called "Free" providers. I'm not even knocking them, they have to make a byzantine maze of endless rules including "We say so" so nobody is following the correct rules and can be banned any/no reason - their lawyers and investors would off them if they got stuck otherwise. And people who don't care what they say and say things to hurt people can get them banned by being cry-bullies. It's happened to me - I say "Hello!" get a dozen "K- yourself!" and I just go "F - off - !" back and they go "Help me! Moderator!" and I'm banned. Likewise they spam anyone who tells them off vs engaging with them for hours and that's probably what got me banned.
I even think it might be from my recent posts where in response to all these crazy stabbers I noted that it was Ronald Reagan that ended the "State Mental Institutions" we used to have.
From an article I was working on as this happened - I'll upload and link it soon - with PLENTY of references for all the "Source!? SOURCE! SSOooooRRRRooouuuUUUCE!?" trolls out there. Once upon a time I was a "Journalist" rather dabbled in College and I almost went that way but I am glad I am NOT one today.
We still PAY for these, btw, and people like that horrible man who stabbed a woman on a bus or that ogrish 'child' who stomped his teacher near to death over taking his Wii-U would have been committed years earlier if this system still remained... Again that we PAY for...!? And the cost of the people with mental problems bouncing from family to the streets to the courts/jail and back is TEN times easily what we pay for tax breaks for the rich elite... Aka "Corporate Welfare"...
This is what gets me banned when I'm banned most of the time;
Being a "Free Thinker".
- I take NO "Fashionably Radical" sides.
The "Right" hate me because I don't worship Saint Ray-Gun and have a giant wooden tiki with a giant wooden D- I ram up my A$$ in praise of his image. The left hate the ideas such as putting nuthouses back - fear them walking around in "Fursuits" might get them... Nope - though I've heard tons saying "Carpet Sample" should be committed... (If you don't know, you don't WANT to, trust me people!)
That's why MAD Magazine doesn't publish regularly these days - they either flatter a tiny niche and hope it gives enough $ doing ONLY what they expect - or they joke about everyone and everyone likes it but becomes a deadly enemy for life if a single joke hits them...willing to do violence even... sick, sad and SCARY...!
I'm seen these days as some kind of right wing libertarian but I'm actually left wing just think "Old School" a kid of real Hippie parents and for free speech, against racism and sexism, for as much freedom as possible. I'm for reasonable social programs - but mostly the Government should hinder or tax more the negative stuff (companies sending jobs overseas) and sponsor a little bit ones that hire Americans. Our media needs to be broken up along with connections between different parts of the system that enable huge monopolies. Yes they DO need to control the price of wheat, grain, meat, energy - otherwise it fluctuates wildly and can be more devestating than a war or natural disaster. But you don't need to EAT a comic book, video game, toy, movie ... and those face the hardest battle to get on ANY market.
However, frankly, it was probably just griefers flooding fake complaints till somehow something stuck and it wouldn't have mattered if the "X" postings were from legit Fluffy and Uranus from the "Duckman" animated show. Enough complaints some automatic feature probably gets someone banned in a way they can't contact anyone to un-ban it so these nothings with nothing to do try for it all day long... And it's not for me being left or right but just starting to get popular I got their attention... Lots of blogs just VANISH - a few get restored later but it's a no reason ban suddenly, usually for those with extreme opinions. A "Free" service, can't say you didn't get what you paid for...
FYI this was an incredible show from the 90s and the two plush characters were parodies of political correctness - it's abandoned mutant grand-child is "WOKE" etc.
Finally, the CURE for the Web 2.0 and 2.whatever is web 1.0 and "Wild West Internet"
Source? There used to be a site called "One Angry Gamer" where it was "Wild West Internet" rules. My buddy, O'MaXXXimVs used it a LOT including when the Zweihander TTRPG makers tried to "Cancel" him and there were thousands of fake accounts screaming "K--- yourself!" all over his Twitter. Before Elon Musk era. He carried the conversation to OAG and they backed him up since they are against censorship.
