I punched a man in Retweet just to watch him die...
Apparently, trying to encourage sportswriter/ESPN celebrity Katie Nolan to hunt down a misogynistic tweeter and punch him is a line too far for the modern Twitter sensibility.
Right now, I've been banned for 6 days, meaning I can read tweets but can't reply or retweet them, or post new tweets of me own. I *can* Direct Message people if I need to, but it's not stuff that will be out there for the social media consumption.
But this is okay. This is a price to pay for being on social media. Sometimes, you cross a line and you gotta answer for breaking that rule. I get that. It's not like I need to tweet every minute of the day.
(knee starts twitching)
My entire life isn't on Twitter, or Facebook, hell I'm halfway off FB I barely do any social stuff there now, it's just working the library's Page to promote our events and all.
(slight agitation with the eyes blinking a little more than they should)
I can quit at any time! Sure! I don't need Twitter! (twitching becomes more pronounced) I can just go back to the Usenet chats! Where's my link to alt.tv.x-files! I'm totally fine with this! SIX DAYS WITHOUT TWEETING WILL BE A SWEET VACATION FOR ME! I CAN ACTUALLY GET SOME WORK DONE, LIKE VACUUMING THE LIVING ROOM OR SOMETHING! WHO EVEN NEEDS TO TWEET ANYMORE, I MEAN trump's BEEN BANNED FOR LIFE! I AM SO GOOD WITH THIS, I PROBABLY... PROBABLY...
(sees a tweet from Matt Gaetz) OH SWEET JESUS I NEED TO REPLY TO THIS SO BAD! LEMME IN! LEMME IN! I PROMISE I'LL BEHAVE!
(begins banging the jail bars) ATTICA! ATTICA!!!!!!!

Driftglass has been permanently kicked off of Twitter, but then again so has Seb Gorka... which kind of illustrates the lopsided nature of their enforcement. Oh wait, Gorka was kicked off of YouTube, not Twitter.
