See what I did with the title? I censored the word "Fuck". :)
So, some serious sucky social media shenanigans this week. I'm on Twitter, fire off a snarky message to some twat waffle about Trumpie, get suspended. Now, the only thing I can see that would have been such a grievous objectionable offense, on my part, was using the word #Skank in my post as nothing else is vituperative. I mean, people spend all day telling each other to fuck off, calling other people traitors, cowards, talking about peoples moms, and our politicians, some of them, spend half their day using veiled verbiage to threaten other politicians, private citizens, the media, judges, election officials and foreign leaders (actually, that list would be just Trump), so its not like I said anything out of the norm, and to be honest, the post in question was rather tame for yours truly. :)
Anyway, I filed an appeal. They blew me off for a few days, I went and deleted the post, and those mother fucking pussy ass coward Twitter PC wanking mother fucks...suspended me for a week, lol.
So, I was bored and went to Reddit. I saw a super-hyper weepy, hand wringing and very long winded post by some lady about how she was walking her dog, a couple guys asked her what kind of dog it was, she got triggered, her snowflake levels went sky-high, and I replied with the message the red arrow points to. Got banned from that sub-Reddit...for life. :)
So I sent a snarky message to the sub-Reddit moderator and they suspended my ability to contact them for...I think 28 days. My question is...why 28 days? I mean, why not 27 days or 29 days, or 42 hours or 62 months? I mean, you banned me, for life, so why the flying fuck would you think I want to contact you in 28 days? I mean I will, just to tell them to fuck off. :)
I've been hearing a great deal about Ruqqus. Its basically a Reddit rip off, meaning copycat site, that brags about being uncensored, embracing free speech, where anything can be said. Its premise is part of the insane notion that the majority of social media is biased against the so called "right" and they want to create something where people could speak out. So, I made an account, saw a few posts, replied to a couple...and a few hours later when I returned from the gym, saw that I had been banned from three of their groups, which they call "Guilds".
I thought this was odd. I did some fast research and was stunned to find, some moderator had written a post about me within a couple hours about how I was "spamming fraud denial in political subs", and he screen captured my comments in the black photo below. Interestingly enough, you can see my replies are all quite polite. I simply asked if anyone had any evidence for this alleged election fraud, which they did not, as neither did any of Trumps lawyers, which is why he lost 53 cases in a couple of weeks and the Supreme Court told him to fuck off...twice. Anyway, seeing it's a far rightwing site of lunatic, paranoid and delusional nutcases, I closed the account the same day I opened it.
Then I thought I would check out Parler, which is the new version of Twitter. However, even though it advertises itself as being all about autonomy, freeeeeedum, privacy, liberty, the flag, 'Murica, the 1st Amendment and all that, they demand you give them your phone number in order to create an account, which I refuse to do. Their site states:
Speak freely and express yourself openly, without fear of being “deplatformed” for your views. Parler protects our community members’ rights and privacy. Parler believes that people are entitled to security, privacy, and freedom of expression.
Interestingly enough, the site is owned by the Mercer family, yes, they of the Facebook–Cambridge Analytica data scandal. So, as there is no way in hell that I, or anyone, should ever trust that family with private information, I told them to fuck off as well.
Speaking of Parler, they got themselves a little
"porn problem". I'm not sure how they're going to make it, not wanting porn on their site, plus blocking, shadow banning and harassing anyone that does not adhere to the insane conspiracy theories of the deeply disturbed Trumpian Army of nitwits.
And lastly, on the "porn front" fiascos, one of the largest sites on the entire Internet, literally, Pornhub's ranking is 8th, in the whole world, it gets more traffic and hits than eBay, Wikipedia, Walmart etc...anyway, someone reported there was allegedly rape and pedophilia movies on the site, out of the, well here are their 2019 stats:
So, the deal is...
VISA and MasterCard yanked their ability to process credit cards...effectively putting them out of business I suppose, as those two fine family values companies can't be associated with anything untoward or where there may be something related to underage sex clips. Look, I'm not minimizing the horrific aspects of child porn, and anyone doing it should be investigated and if found to be guilty, prosecuted. I'm just confused though as from what I know, the Catholic Church can still accept credit cards...right? :)
Lastly, Facebook (which I am not on) is having their own new and ongoing issues.
