For those of you who were also following me on Twitter, my remaining two Twitter accounts (@AlsoGoldberg and @horsepasty) were deplatformed two days ago on August 26, 2022. No reason was given, apart from the ever vague: “After careful review, we determined your account broke the Twitter Rules.”
What a well documented clear headed essay. Thank you for keeping on. My mom is in Nainaimo, and in the same situation as you - as am I - but in Toronto. We critical thinking former lefties - need to be strategic and we need to find and support each other.
Really well laid out and thought out piece, Kim. Yes, the pandemic has brought on a collapse of (what remained of) the Left/Right paradigm and now we need to scrutinize and strategize differently. I think that, if we can survive it, the collapse will do us a lot of good.
Ohhhhh FFS! Twitter is trash. I haven't read the whole entry above yet, Kim, but wanted to let you know I'll be sharing this in your absence from the deck of the sinking ship. Going to continue to call them out till they digitally disappear me too. Love and solidarity! (Btw, the latest Corbett #SolutionsWatch features Ryan Cristián of TLAV listing off the dozens of platforms he's been censored by. The list can serve as a heads-up to others, and as a reminder to you that you're in good company!)
Deplatformed Again! Twitter in Death Spiral?

Have you been able to speak with Alex Berenson? He's the first to be victorious against Twitter, they've apologized to him.
Don't put too much trust in Musk. His reason for removing suspensions is to encourage subscriptions and turn Twitter into a WeChat-style platform.
