I am sorry that you are still banned. It's sad how many people are in the same boat. X is been very disappointing lately. Thank you for sharing your experience.
I'm not sure if I'm sorry. Substack is obviously the superior platform, but there's a lot of people on Twitter who would never wander into our orbit over here. If we believe in the power of free markets, we should be able to outcompete them anyway, right? ;)
The problem is that there are many differences between Twitter & SUBSTACK. You really can’t compare them. SUBSTACK is very expensive when you add up just some of the stacks that you want to subscribe to that charge for the privilege of being able to read or comment. Twitter is free if you don’t want to pay the blue check. Twitter is more conversational & you interact with more people that you disagree with. SUBSTACK never responds if you need help with ANY thing. If you report something they never respond. Even on the most egregious cases. IMO SUBSTACK is never going to overtake Twitter. There are many brilliant writers here but it’s a preaching to the choir situation for the most part.
I do think hiring Linda Yaccarino was the biggest mistake Elon could have made.
yaccarino was hired by musk to do exactly what she's doing. he wanted someone else to be the 'bad cop' so it would appear his hands were clean (and tied). he masquerades as a 'free speech absolutist' and lives for the adulation of his 'fanboys.' I've never understood his appeal. no one would think he's a 'genius' were he not a billionaire many times over. he was lucky enough to be born to wealth, and to be in the right place at the right time (with cash), time and time again. he's not really an engineer, his patents are ridiculous, tesla was someone else's baby and would not have survived without government handouts. he's pt barnum without the charisma...
I agree. The more you find out about him, the less likable he is. I’m starting to believe that he’s not really the owner of Twitter, he’s a front guy. What do you think?
Something like that Leslie, but a better way to view it, is that he's the owner of the "Company" (CIA,KGB,CSB,MOSSAD,MI5, all INTEL worldwide Pinkertons in every country reporting to BIG-ZOG), Anglo-American Corp(SA late 1800's), East-India-Company(opium early 1800's)
ZOG is really serious about "FAMILY", you see that with Bill Gates III, and Chelesa Clinton, all the WEF young leaders, they all drop near the mother tree;
I always say "Poor little MUSK", born a trillionaire, and made a billionaire
...
Well to answer your question it gets back to his "INFINITE WEALTH", all he ever did was a 'video-game' in High-School then he bought his way into Paypal, and then bought Tesla, Space-X, he never actually started any of these company's from scratch, he bought existing companys and re-branded them.
Like Gates, it already helps if you OWN the best LAWYERS on earth, which is why if you look closely, MUSK & Gates never lose a lawsuit;
Gates stole "DOS" from Seattle-Computer back in 1980, and forced to pay $50k, and later $1M USD, but made $100's of billions, safe to say that everything little billy ever did, he stole, but like I said, his father owned the biggest lawfirm and most powerful in Seattle.
The one to study however is Peter Thiel the secret vampire that never gets mentioned flaming HOMO, owner of OPEN-AI, and PALANTIR(CIA); Him&MUSK are life partners, and both play good-cop/Bad-Cop, while MUSK playes with WEF, Thiel is President of BilderbergGroup-USA, and bilderberg is who runs the earth, an WEF is just a circus act.
U R giving the rhodes-deBeers heir way too much credit
WEF gal is the Schwab leader of the trans-humanism project at WEF
MUSK personally leads the entire trans-humanism with his pencil-dick brain-cap "Neuralink" business model where everybody is chipped and linked, just like in the Matrix.
...
Neuralink (MUSK is owner&founder) announced that it was aiming to make devices to treat serious brain diseases in the short-term, with the eventual goal of human enhancement, sometimes called trans-humanism.
Today Yaccarino run's Xtwit, tomorrow she will run the globo-homo MUSK trans-humanism X-Man project, its all about marketing and vision and Musk wants to focus on his rockets & autos to take you places you don't want to go;
Real in depth thought cannot be communicated in a tweet. Sound bites and memes breed shallow thinkers. I will stay with Substack for the longest posts and articles.
I forgot to say that the intelligence quality of the SUBSTACK community is higher than the Twitter community & you are right, most Twitter people won’t come over here, especially now that there is no exposure.
I completely agree that the quality of the exchanges is much better on substack, maybe bc I tend to connect with people of a similar mindset. I learn a lot on Twitter bc there are short snippets of news that I don't get on Substack and it doesn't require such an investment of my time. I don't pay for either bc I just can't afford it. Both sites provide me with benefits, but they are quite different.
I’m not on twitter much. Elon did some good but not what he promised. I don’t trust his long term plans. Too much transhuman junk. God made us perfectly.
Well put!! I always thought the same. I was also "turned off" for using an idiom (he must enjoy being "punched in the gut") to suggest his delight at being pitiable. I was accused of being abusive. I appealed, however upon hearing nothing for a month, I folded and deleted the tweet. This is what I believe they want, complete subjugation.
I enjoy both GETTR and TruthSocial and hope to see these platforms grow.
GAB is also very impressive. CEO Andrew Torba is playing the long game and has made every effort to make his organization cancellation-proof. The GAB eco-system is very impressive. Check out the new GAB A.I. called “Gabby” for creating customized images.
I think GAB will come into full flower over the next few years and encourage everyone to try it out.
There were so many red flags when Musk took over. Keeping Alex Jones banned despite calling himself a free speech absolutist. Then there was the elonjet/stalker drama he made up. And of course the ending of the Twitter Files before delivering on the so called #faucifiles.
I kept telling myself I needed to stay there for my job, but I just couldn’t do it anymore. It felt like I was shouting into the ether because I had been so severely shadowbanned. And I could feel the noose tightening as the app inched closer to WeChat.
I’m glad people like you are starting to speak out against Musk and Twitter now. More people need to wake up to what’s going on.
I'm so glad you mentioned the FauciFiles. I keep feeling like I'm the only one who noticed they never materialized. Was there ever any explanation of why not? Did you have "withdrawal" when you left Twitter? Have you found an acceptable replacement? I'm going to read your Substack, now.
I can't remember if I covered this on my Substack, but someone had asked Alex Berenson about the Fauci Files since he was one of the writers who said he was going to cover them. He was basically like, "What Fauci Files?" Then when Musk got pressed about the Fauci Files and the end of the Twitter Files altogether, he was like, "We have better things to focus on. Forget about them."
The whole thing was a limited hangout. If you haven't heard of that, I'd suggest checking out CJ Hopkins' Substack. He does a wonderful job explaining what the term means.
In terms of withdrawal, the only thing I really noticed was that I automatically went to open Twitter every morning and every evening after work. It had just become a mindless habit. It took a few days before I was able to kick the habit. But other than that, no, I don't feel as though I've missed it in any other way.
And an acceptable replacement? No. The only social I use now is Instagram and it's mainly to look at puppies and listen to comedians. With Twitter gone, I'm consciously trying to find a real world community. I know there have to be sane people out there somewhere! Haha!
I live in a small town in the middle of Spain surrounded by vaccinated people so I find it difficult to find "my group" in the real world. My son just recommended Substack's Notes so maybe I'll look into that. It's nice to know there are people out there who share my ideas and values. Thank you for you reply!
Well, I wish you luck out there! I was a similar situation in the last couple of places I lived and I know how lonely it feels, even when you're surrounded by a bunch of people.
My Twitter account is permanently suspended for suggesting that FBI Director Chris Wray be investigated and punished accordingly if found guilty of corruption or treason. Per our Constitution, this means possible prison time or execution. Twitter said I was inciting violence. I have appealed several times but Twitter keeps coming back with its auto-answer, 'You broke the rules.'
Happened to me as well, 12mos ago. If I try to get on, to cancel my account, Twitter (as it was when last I tried) tells me that 'there is no account registered to this e-mail address". So I cannot get in, cannot get out.
Why on earth does anyone want to use platforms that aided and abetted government censorship? Masochistic? Would you go to a doctor to have your broken arm set if he was the one who broke it? Don't feed your enemies.
No, it baffles me. It's much like a codependent relationship with an abusive spouse, where you have to be careful what you say. And Twitter bans resemble the abuser saying, "Now see what you made me have to do." Why put up with it?
The speech is better Twitter, ie, its harder to get suspended. But the way they have put users into clusters and limited reach makes it an echo chamber. Elon wants to pull in the content creators, but I see very little content there that is worthwhile. Substack is much better imo, and over time, maybe the Notes will gather more steam.
Perhaps they will offer throttles in the future, to see only those you follow or some other way to filter the feed. If they actually gave writers the ability to control the algorithm, control the feed, there would be a mass exodus from X to here.
Why would Musk be any different than a politician on the campaign trail who will say 'anything' to get elected b/c once elected they never leave their handler's reservation.
People believe he's on their side because they're desperate.
Twitter or X is to get lots of people onboard with a universal digital ID and cashless currency linked to posts left on "social media." Why are so few people who know about the WEF agenda seeing what's happening?
Correct. He fleeced them good and proper. It was the conservatives who fell for it the most. They were the most desperate for hope, and he played them like a fiddle.
Shortly after Musk took over, I was banned fromTwitter for whatever I saiid that some hyper simp took offense to. I refused to dele my two “offending” tweets, whatever they were, I’m blocked from seeing them unless I agree to apologize). FU, Musk. I still look at tweets from time to time, but I migrated here to substack for my main news and reading. Much higher quality of audience and commentary, IMO,
the hiring of a former wef advisor was both disturbing and telling..... there are still informative podcast presenters who illustrate our country's right to free speech that are being banned by twitter despite elon musk's assurance that this will not occur. i have lost faith and trust in someone who showed promise, someone who had the opportunity to display a move forward for our country and the planet~ he is not following thru on his own opinions, proposals and intent with X..... just like a politician ~
Although Elon permanently banned my account for stating the undeniable fact - All living US Presidents are guilty of war crimes and should be prosecuted and summarily executed.
I’m not on X much and I never was. I prefer Gab, but I mostly lurk.
I can say that Musks ‘freedom of speech, not freedom of reach’ is a line created by the ADL. The real CEO of X is Jonathan Greenblat. A lot of people have not been unbanned and many that were unbanned were subsequently rebanned even though they never violated the TOS. Probably because they’re on the ADL hit list.
Musk still does not have control of his company. As he moves away from the reliance on ad revenue for cash flow then maybe he will put things right. I’m not exactly betting in that happening, but it is possible. As long as as revenue drives the company it’s “meet the new boss, same as the old boss”.
Many people I know have been suspended, but most concerning is the outright ban I received with no warning or ability to remove the offending post and be re-instated. I think this is happening to alot of people who have 3k - 10k followers, from what I have heard. I didn’t attack or use anyone’s name. I suggested having the death penalty brought back for traitors who sell out our country, without naming individuals. I guess that was a bridge too far. Either Musk doesn’t know whats going on at X or he is a fraud. There appears to be a big uptick on Truth Social, but not sure if it’s due to people being canceled on X.
I got a week's suspension and it sounds like what happened to you, is the same playbook. People are going to say it couldnt happen to them, but it's happening. What I wrote was in support of woman having children, the families are liberation. That was deemed hate speech. The algorithms haven't got the capability to read between the lines, the subtle nuances of the English language. What bothers me is that Elon says the platform supports free speech, but that's not true. It's the speech they deem to be allowed to be heard. I dont like social media being owned privately, as the owners have too much control. Social media is a public utility. To have the power of the kill switch is to much power.
Unfortuantly mine was a permanent ban. With no ability to reinstate. I sent in 2 protests/appeals but they are steadfast against wrong-think. I never use profanity or promote mob rule, or violence. With no warning or redress. I think you are right that the algorithms have little ability to recognize nuance. In the end, when people have no voice, things can get sketchy quickly.
"What has your experience been like with the new Twitter (X)?"
Still banned, waiting for the promised amnesty for accounts that did nothing illegal.
I am sorry that you are still banned. It's sad how many people are in the same boat. X is been very disappointing lately. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Great write up Vigilant, thanks.

Speaking of all things called “X” failing...
https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/the-great-spacex-deception
The sign "X" itself implies censorship - you cross things out - for Pete's sake!
Yes, in my opinion it was a bad move to change the name and I think the majority of users agree.
I detest the new name. It is, imho, primitive.
Freudian slip perhaps :P?
Well put!! I always thought the same. I was also "turned off" for using an idiom (he must enjoy being "punched in the gut") to suggest his delight at being pitiable. I was accused of being abusive. I appealed, however upon hearing nothing for a month, I folded and deleted the tweet. This is what I believe they want, complete subjugation.
Banned permanently without reason given. One Health WEF truths being gagged.
Have you heard of Gab, GETTR, Telegram and TruthSocial.
Anyway, you can always create new accounts just to read - like I did.
I was on Parler for a while before it died. Maybe Gab too?
I prefer notes to both.
I meant reach. Platforms are mere computer codes if they don't have contents.
And you, and others, are the content providers - and therefore should wag them; not allowing platforms to wag you.
Yes, I like "Notes" - it was what I had wished Sub would do.
Gab is a niche platform and will be around for a while, if they don't whack its owner.
Parler 2 is too slow and its content providers have moved to GETTR and TS.
Two others I have since remembered: MeWe and Minds.
I noticed that the content providers that I follow on GETTR have paused their posts since the bird allowed them some freedom.
Content providers naturally gravitate to eyeballs. And who are the eyeballs? We are! Therefore, we are to blame - not the stud and other DS assets.
I enjoy both GETTR and TruthSocial and hope to see these platforms grow.
GAB is also very impressive. CEO Andrew Torba is playing the long game and has made every effort to make his organization cancellation-proof. The GAB eco-system is very impressive. Check out the new GAB A.I. called “Gabby” for creating customized images.
I think GAB will come into full flower over the next few years and encourage everyone to try it out.
Yep I’m still banned for speaking truth to mainstream lies. No loss anyway.
•Masks are useless.
•The covid fear-mongering was to get already made jabs in people’s arms.
•Then a vid with a doctor saying don’t whatever you do vaccinate your children.
Permanently banned even after appeal. Makes me wonder about some of those Doctors that had their accounts reinstated.
Elon can get stuffed and so can TwitterX.
Likewise here. We got to the crux of the fascist affront.
BINGO
I got permanently banned without warning, nor reason. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
Musk is about making another billion and nothing more. Please start using other platforms like Gab.
I quit Twitter over a month ago. https://suzannescacca.substack.com/p/breaking-up-with-twitter

Notes is very good. A bunch of us just need to create the habit of that instead of the X zone.
If you said that on Twitter or X or whatever they call it, you'd be banned as was I. For abusiveness. 'Cept I used "punched in the gut"!
Yeah I thought about that and maybe I should have used the more familiar "It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye."
I deleted it. What a wuss. So not worth it.
My Twitter account is permanently suspended for suggesting that FBI Director Chris Wray be investigated and punished accordingly if found guilty of corruption or treason. Per our Constitution, this means possible prison time or execution. Twitter said I was inciting violence. I have appealed several times but Twitter keeps coming back with its auto-answer, 'You broke the rules.'
Exactly the same situation for me.
I would really enjoy my account back to at least be able to follow news, but I'm not begging or pretending such a comment was inappropriate
Happened to me as well, 12mos ago. If I try to get on, to cancel my account, Twitter (as it was when last I tried) tells me that 'there is no account registered to this e-mail address". So I cannot get in, cannot get out.
Life under AI--don't you yearn for it?
You were inciting a fair trial.
Any possible violence would be done by the state. Not an angry mob riled up by your tweet.
Why on earth does anyone want to use platforms that aided and abetted government censorship? Masochistic? Would you go to a doctor to have your broken arm set if he was the one who broke it? Don't feed your enemies.
Well put Rex!!
Rex, you seem like a smart man. i have this same questio.n Did you find out the answer?
No, it baffles me. It's much like a codependent relationship with an abusive spouse, where you have to be careful what you say. And Twitter bans resemble the abuser saying, "Now see what you made me have to do." Why put up with it?
Best comment yet. As I said to another, they, indeed, appear to want to conquer you....subjugation.
If he's a famous billionaire a lot of women will put up with abuse from him. Just like the conservatives desperate and servile for celebrity approval.
The speech is better Twitter, ie, its harder to get suspended. But the way they have put users into clusters and limited reach makes it an echo chamber. Elon wants to pull in the content creators, but I see very little content there that is worthwhile. Substack is much better imo, and over time, maybe the Notes will gather more steam.
Notes is already too much to read - i try, but am much more interested in substack articles by authors i like - and there's a lot of them.
Perhaps they will offer throttles in the future, to see only those you follow or some other way to filter the feed. If they actually gave writers the ability to control the algorithm, control the feed, there would be a mass exodus from X to here.
Why would Musk be any different than a politician on the campaign trail who will say 'anything' to get elected b/c once elected they never leave their handler's reservation.
He’s the greatest con man on earth.
People believe he's on their side because they're desperate.
Twitter or X is to get lots of people onboard with a universal digital ID and cashless currency linked to posts left on "social media." Why are so few people who know about the WEF agenda seeing what's happening?
Correct. He fleeced them good and proper. It was the conservatives who fell for it the most. They were the most desperate for hope, and he played them like a fiddle.
Actually, I think Biden is, tho Clinton and T-rump roll in a close double second!
Biden is transparent about his deception. Musk is a chameleon.
Musk is better at deceiving people.
Absolutely.
I just do not have time.
I am freaking too busy freaking living over here.
You're doing it right.
