Elon Musk offers to buy Twitter for $54.20 per share.

There have been mass bans of Twitter posters mocking Elon Musk. How does that fit within your idea of free speech?

If that’s truly why they got banned, then that’s not good.

Yes, I have a friend who's black and his nick name is black son. We just call him black, so yes, one of my friends are Black.

Still haven't redeemed it.

someone was saying over the weekend that he was following the exact same steps as some infamous forum mod at somethingawful back in the day, but I don't remember the specific conversation - basically though that Elon is spiraling in pretty much the exact same way that narcissistic power-mad forum mods used to back before Facebook and Twitter

He's behaving in a very Lowtax way for sure.

Shooter didn't ban Gturner, mate.

Shooter is part of the ownership, correct?

So I have a question for the twitter users. does twitter IP ban? In the old days when I was on a site that liked to ban me I just created a ton of socks with a common link that I would let get banned. What stops a spamtroll from creating a ton of accounts without check marks under the name elon musk that are just there to be banned? I am sure some person can write a botscript to create a bunch of emails to get past the twitter creation even with captcha and products like that. Even if you couldn't, what stops a crazy dedicated troll alonmg the lines of me or fleshlight from just manually staging a shitton of socks to get banned just to annoy the fuck out of elon?

I know, and used to be a person, who could do this manually on a level that would totally annoy an individual moderator I hated. I know people who do this, and I cannot imagine there isn't someone who is going to see elon as some awesome trollbait that they can get fame off of for torturing like that in a very public manner. Considering elon is not a bright guy there would be tricks to poisoning important IP ranges belonging to big tech or prominent people through spoofing credentials?

In basic terminology, where are the hacker trolls who should be turning twitter into glitching garbage for the lulz? Did all the old trolls die? Did they get lives? where the fuck are the people from alt.2600 irc channel #NIN from back in the day?

Am I the only one left who knows the old ways?

Any russian anarchists out there?

Aussies?

someone please tell me I am not alone!

I think it's safe to say that one or two people in the past have considered things like creating spam bots and/accounts on Twitter.

Yeah, but that is why I mention someone you are experienced with like flashlight who rep spammed so much that you had to remove his ability to rep. of course ther qare people who would create a sock or two to support themself. Jimmy Door just got caught doing that on twitter.

I am not full of shit when I say I used to be insane in trolling. I know the methods back in the day. I was a master of them. One of the reasons I was so bothered with wordforge is your "trolls" are not really the infamous trolls of the world.

Assume for a moment I am what I say I am and this is not all bullshit. From the point of view of a master troll (assuming there are others who are mastered in the art/style) wouldn't it be odd that no one has started a campaign to take down elon because it would make them troll points? He is wagging his ass out there in a way that you could easily anonymously fuck his shit up, and the trolls are not swarming? At this point even the spam trolls, who are not the strongest, should be crashing twitter for fun.

or am I just too early and the earth shattering kaboom is coming and the preparations take some time? To be honest I do not have the mental dysfunction to keep up on the current troll community. I guess no one here could answer my questions, and a trek into what you would call Mordor would be tiresome and problematic.

It just saddens me that the internet has really become so big the revenants that made it's ghettos are not able to blow things up anymore. Where is Anon to reap his avatar corpse?

Kathy Griffin Is Trolling Elon From Her Dead Mom's Twitter After He Suspended Her

At least one Tesla shareholder isn't happy about things.

No, AOC, Twitter "verification" has nothing to do with free speech. You're just losing the imaginary status symbol value of your little checkmark.

No, Kathy Griffin and the million other comedy geniuses on the "impersonate" bandwagon, you are not singled out by anything but enforcement of existing, long-standing rules about labeling such accounts.

Not at the time.

Actually I was.

And fuck gtard and any sycophants still pining for his spamming/trolling ass six years later.

What rule did he break?

Hmm digging through the Tamarchives... You, Anc, Flow, and Tex?

Account sharing. Common knowledge, not obfuscated.

Because he was having trouble with his account.

IIRC, me, Shirogayne, and gul? Maybe forgetting somebody.

Yes, trouble keeping it to himself.

Much like you and oversharing about domestic abuse.

Correct. He was too stupid to participate on this board so his account was fixed by banning it.
