He didn’t give us any of his possibly controversial postings on Twitter. He’s not telling us the whole story.

Yes. In the old days, if twitter banned you for life, you could open a new account which I did. Boom. Banned for life a again. When Musk took over I appealed the ban but was denied.

If this guy posted on Twitter all that time and never got tossed in the penalty box until now, while Twitter was banning and censoring other people like crazy, I question his claim that he was providing conservative news, etc.

The only way they could prevent you from registering as a different username is if they are actually banning your “device”. “Device detection” is a real thing. In fact even if you give the device to someone else they will not be able to register that device at Twitter either.

Requires logon.

How about some text?

Cancel culture. He obviously got on someone’s radar to generate complaints sufficient to cause termination.

My $$ is a comment/xtwat on ‘trans’gressions.

IMHO, all posts should be allowed, no matter how crazy, as long as they don’t threaten anyone or anyone’s property. I’ll decide what to believe or not.

There HAS to be more to the story. My own twitter can be pretty radical- and I follow several users who pump out some of the most serious and hard-hitting Conservative content - and they haven’t had Twitter issues since Musk took over.

So - there MUST have been something - could your account have been hacked? Are you sure you didn’t accidentally link to something nefarious?

Seriously - not an accusation, simply trying to process through - as your situation is rather odd in the face of some of the activity on “X” these days.

Been trying hard to get banned by X (formerly known as Twitter), since signing up several months back. So far, no joy.

I don’t see the twitter handle posted here or on his web page. Generally, when an account is banned - the user name/page still shows, its just locked.

And considering, as my other reply said, some of the content on Twitter/X these days that is even to the far extreme of both political directions - it is just not plausible that his account was banned at the drop of a hat with no warning or previous issues.

might help understanding if he provided the text of his last post

Because context is never important to a whine /S
. He may have a valid point, but it’s not interesting enough for me to find out, and I’m not likely to engage in an argument about things when I have no information. I’m not a self righteous Karen, so “splain me, Lucy”.

My tagline says it all. They did the same thing to me. Elon put the worst kind of Marxist in charge. (is there any other kind?).

Musk’s promise of Twitter 2.0 was simply marketing.

Twitter/X denies speech far more than does CCP run TikTok

Its a search of his name on X. Some are saying he was banned because he posted a threat against the Gov.

That’s what happened to me on Facebook. I posted a picture of the crucifixion. I was deleted immediately.

How does anyone know if that really is his new account?

“WHY DID TWITTER GIVE ME A LIFETIME BAN?”

WHY DID X GIVE ME A LIFETIME BAN?

There, fixed it for you.
