For those who are asking: Twitter froze my account for 12 hours and penalized me with "a warning" because of my reporting on a religious organization (initials E.C.) who is behind the current anti-Pornhub campaign. (1/2)

If you google public record information on the leader of that campaign (initials L.M., a public figure) plus the words "Justice Defense Fund," you can take a guess as to why I was "reported."

Twitter punished me for literally doing my job.

Religious groups are already abusing the "reporting" system WITH SECTION 230 IN PLACE.

Imagine the future of journalism once Section 230 is repealed or reformed.

(Yes, I have receip†s.)

(No, I won't be using this platform as I have been. I've been "admonished" on the word of a religious lobby.)

Also: @Twitter @TwitterComms make a big show of being more "transparent" than Facebook/Instagram, but in my work as a journalist I haven't had any issues getting replies from FB/IG reps. I have never gotten a single reply from a Twitter rep.

Opaque to even get a contact person.

I actually have academic credentials in the history of censorship (no, really). What @Twitter @TwitterComms did to me yesterday is EXACTLY what censorship is meant to do: to confuse reporters as to what the public/private guidelines are, so I have to censor myself.

I was put on notice by @Twitter merely for doing my job: I reported on publicly available information about a public figure within my beat.

What they want is for me to "check myself" before reporting. They got it.

This is WITH SECTION 230 IN PLACE.

Now imagine post-repeal.

And @Twitter (as opposed to FB/IG) has no easy-to-find spokesperson to ask for comment about this. By design.

I hate to agree with Trump on anything, but his rants about Twitter's deliberate opacity and arbitrary doling out of punishment are not incorrect.

📊 My Twitter stats for January (vs December)

💬 Tweets: 271 (154)
👀 Tweet impressions: 560k (210k)
📃 Profile visits: 56.7k (24.4k)
﹫ Mentions: 445 (105)
👋 New followers: 899 (390)

What changed between Dec to Jan?

👇

1 - Tweeting more frequently

Up til Dec, I would tweet on Sundays and remain mostly inactive during the week.

From mid-Jan, switched things up and started tweeting almost daily.

The goal is to share 1 useful thing / day.

Takeaway - Tweeting daily is work, but rewarding.

2 - Building in public

I've been sharing since 2019, but it was never as intense before. My SEO course literally got built while I was tweeting about it.

Takeaway - 💯 for the engaging experience. But it's exhausting if this isn't your main thing. I'm building @delightchathq

What didn't change 👇

• Delivering value to the lives and journey of others.
• Being transparent about progress.
• Being nice to every person who DM'd or emailed me about their struggles in life or business.

Final note - I 100% think people should build in public IF the target audience for what they are building live on Twitter.

If that's you, try it out. Go through all my tweets for January, see what worked (and what didn't lol), and replicate it in February.

All the best 💪

Twitter removed 800 followers from my account today. People have been writing saying twitter automatically unfollowed me for them. Follow me on Parler @robinmonotti & Telegram https://t.co/o5rFaSrCpa to bypass this.

I have already left both Facebook & Instagram. We need to keep agile.

They will try to ban Parler, blaming it for Capitol theatre. I think Telegram may survive as it's not based in the

Yes Telegram owner @durov received & accepted what effectively is an award, not a partnership: the Young Global Leaders membership of the World Economic Forum in 2017. Does this mean he passes users info on? I don't think so.

This is what @Snowden had to say about @durov. Since then Telegram introduced the option of end to end encrypted chats not saved in Telegram servers. These private chats cannot be forwarded, and none of the participants can capture screenshots of

Trust us not to turn over data. Trust us not to read your messages. Trust us not to close your channel. Maybe @Durov is an angel. I hope so! But angels have fallen before. Telegram should have been working to make channels decentralized\u2014meaning outside their control\u2014for years.

OK heres a thread I should have done a LONG time ago

HOW TO GET BACK ON TWITTER WHEN U BEEN BANNED

101

here goes

Step 1

U cannot connect Ur last account to Ur new one

meaning NEW PHONE NUMBER, NEW EMAIL.

ALWAYS have a VPN.

keep going
👇👇👇👇👇

I dont fully know wtf a VPN really is either. LOL
BUT I know that the FIREFOX browser is the BEST because it has an AUTOMATIC VPN in it if U always use a PRIVATE BROWSING WINDOW.
@CEOofgenz taught me this firefox trick, as well as VK suggested it a lot.

keep going
👇👇👇👇👇

Once U exhaust Ur main phone # on ur banned acct

then U need to create a GOOGLE VOICE NUMBER for Ur new acct.

They will allow U to make a new account with only email, but shortly in they will require U give them a phone #.

USE GOOGLE VOICE, download the app, connect it.

You are allowed ONE google voice number PER cell phone U have. So that means TWO potential twitter accounts PER cell phone U have. Once u burn thru those two #'s U have to buy a new burner phone to make a new account with a new #.

Keep going 👇👇👇👇👇

For Ur new email, its easiest to set up a new email account on

protonmail

its extremely FAST and they dont require all the vindication nonsense that the [DS] big tech email people do.

Use it.

ALWAYS WRITE DOWN ALL UR NEW #'s and emails and passwords. Keep them organized.

The most valuable Twitter feature you aren't using:

Advanced search.

Knowing how to use it will help you find the hidden gems of the Twitter archives and 10x your Twitter experience.

Here's the step-by-step guide:

Most Twitter users know nothing about advanced search.

And the few that do think you have to access it this way: by clicking the three dots in the search bar, then clicking advanced search, then using these fields.

This is painfully inefficient.

Luckily, there is a better way.

You can leverage the power of advanced search right in the search bar using text.

And there are six different things you can create filters for:

• Date
• Keywords
• Number of likes
• Number of replies
• Number of retweets

Let's dive into how to use each.

Before we do that, you might be thinking, what does this do for me?

Twitter is a real-time platform.

But the Twitter archives are full of gems.

Especially from some of the most prominent people on Twitter, you can learn a lot by combing through popular things they've said.

The foundation of advanced search is the "from" query.

Every query will start like this:

from:handlename

An *important* note: do not include the @ before the user's handle.

1) “Eliminationism” is a term you need not just to become familiar with, especially in today’s American rush toward authoritarianism. This will be a long, illustrated thread explaining what it means, how it works, and why Donald Trump is now our Eliminationist in Chief.

Warning: Some images contain violence and are disturbing.

Also warning: This thread is ridiculously long. 75 tweets is insane. I apologize. But this stuff is important. I hope you find it compelling anyway. If not, I understand.

2) So, what exactly do we mean by “eliminationism”? Here’s the academic definition:

3) It was largely coined by Holocaust scholar Daniel Jonah Goldhagen in his 1996 book Hitler’s Willing Executioners, about the role ordinary Germans played in the Holocaust, which he described as fueled by “eliminationist antisemitism.”

4) The book describes how in reality the largest numbers of Jews and other victims killed by Nazi directive were rounded up and gunned down or immolated en masse and buried in mass graves by ordinary Germans and non-Jewish residents of German-occupied territories.

Still wondering about this 🤔

I am considering adding a 'compose' feature to @buzzwaysapp

It would enable a user to compose a thread out of different tweets and submit it to Buzzways.

What do you guys think?

I'm gonna do my other star wars thread tomorrow, which will primarily be me yelling at a @RowanKaiser-shaped strawman for calling the First Order and The Resistance "cosplayers who the rest of the galaxy has to deal with"

the deal w/the New Republic, the First Order, and the Resistance is very weird and complex and I actually take issue with how Story Group frames the actual conflict.

pre-TFA stuff is presented as a "cold war" between the New Republic and the remnants of the Empire that form the First Order, which 100% makes sense.

But they frame the First Order's attack on the Hosnian system and the subsequent battle that takes place across TFA and TLJ as a full on war when it's very clearly a coup. A war implies at least equal standing, but the First Order completely wrecks shop and takes over the galaxy.

ok never mind I'm fucking doing this now.

The First Order fleet we see in TLJ is *not* the entire fleet of the First Order (I don't even think Starkiller Base was their main base of operations honestly, it couldn't have been considering they were operating out of Wild Space)

ANCIENT BHARAT WAS CALLED VISHWAGURU, AND IT REALLY DESERVED IT.

India had a well developed education system centuries before the westerners arrived and called us uncivilized. Education was always given a great importance in Indian civilisation since times immemorial.

Ancient India had the Gurukulas and Ashramas as the epicentres of the knowledge and enlightenment. Bigger Gurukulas served as the centres of higher education called universities. Besides these universities, temples also emerged as the major learning centres.

Studying the Holy Scriptures, character building, personality development, responsibilities towards self,family and society,discipline and preservation of the ancient culture and heritage were the key embodiments of education.

This kind of education system made ancient India, a centre of knowledge all over the world. Many foreign students came to India for education and India was called the 'Vishwaguru'.
Takshshila and Nalanda were the two prominent universities of ancient India.

But were these only Universities of ancient India?The answer is 'No'.Let's learn about these gems of our education system that flourished across ancient India & be proud.

NALANDA UNIVERSITY
This was the oldest university of ancient India.Situated in Nalanda distt. of Bihar...

#Thread The legend of Ekadash Mukhi Hanuman ji...

Mahadev himself narrated the story of Ekadash Mukhi Hanuman ji to Maa Parvati. Once a great monster named Kalkarmukh performed the severe penance of Brahma ji.

Pleased with the austerity of the demon, Brahma ji gave him a boon that the person who will have eleven Heads like you and who was born on the day of your birth, only he/she will be able to kill you. No one else will kill you.

After getting a boon from Brahma ji, Kalkarmukh created a ruckus in all three lok. He invaded Swarg and snatched all the rights of the Devtas and became himself the king of Swarg.

All Devtagan came to Shri Rama and asked him for help. Hearing the agony of the Devtagan, Shri Ram called his supreme devotee Hanuman ji and said, "Pawan Putra, Sankatmochan".
