idk maybe people really are uncontrollably guffawing at the 4000th non-variation of (extremely 280 characters voice) "90s meme song lyrics, also plums" and I'm a joyless monster for my only reaction is "oh. Yes. Yes, I see what this is"

Yeah, was gonna say, "plums" is basically just Lysol Douche/and here's why/many other threads for twitter.

PSA. For anyone beset by Nazi and brownshirt bots: I changed my Twitter address to Germany at the suggestion of a shrewd friend, and they vanished. Germany has stricter hate-speech laws.— Virginia Heffernan (@page88) December 4, 2017

It's a nod to this new law, though obv it's still a reactive thing. Can't imagine her not seeing swastikas etc at all any more.

I think they don't necessarily trust the location you've set, but yeah, if you're "in Germany" it screens out a shitload of accounts that espouse values and symbols banned in Germany

My account got a 12 hour suspension for an old tweet quoting Drive Like Jehu lyrics (which accompanied my live video of the band performing said song/lyrics). They made me cough up my phone # (I used a burner #) and then make me brute-force delete the tweet before my 12 hours began counting down.
I searched for the same lyric on twitter and found multiple references, mostly from inactive accounts.

Kinda nuanced and obscure, but I could see how an alt-right brah-zi would be offended (most of my tweetage is progressive/liberal likes/retweets).

otm, he's chill with those dudes and is undoubtedly one of the nazi-adjacent tech libertarian types who sees "freedom" as the strongest thing about the internet
I was thinking about this recently after watching the Halt & Catch Fire tv show. Lots of people who were early adopters of the internet and were hanging out on newsgroups, irc, whatever back in the early 90s were happy that there was a place where you could be whoever you wanted, express yourself and talk about your nerd music or experiment with your image, talk to people of different backgrounds and sexualities even if everyone near you was a total norm.
so it was an easy sell to a lot of us to talk about freedom of speech and personal liberty. beut you know what also was there? Moderation. Newsgroups were nearly all moderated with the exception of the alt.* ones. If your ISP or usenet admin thought some groups were vile, they didn't get mirrored. IRC channels? moderated by whoever started the discussion
twitter is almost like someone said "ok, we'll rebuild irc but instead of finding specific channels for discussion, we'll let you see absolutely everyone's message and YOU build the list of people you want to see content from". which is fine in theory, but a complete design failure when it comes to moderation. the thing that was completely lost in assuming the ethos was always about "freedom" is that most of the time, it was about *caring about a community you built*
