I was permanently suspended for some horrible, albeit unspecified act about two weeks ago. Been sleeping better ever since.
Anybody have the same experience?

I......do not have involvement with social media. I tried Facebook for a short while to keep in touch with high school friends and people I worked with throughout the years.
I quickly deleted my account. This is my opinion and mine alone. Social Media is a vast wasteland of noise and disinformation. Who and what are Influencers?
What are their credentials? This question and many others I have on the social media community gave me pause.
It's worth nothing in my opinion and causes more harm then good. Exactly like our news these days on Cable news. Loaded with agendas, false narrative and disinformation.
Although I guess some people need recognition for anything.........this is the venue, whether it's true or false. It's entirely worthless.

Twitter is as fake as the bots that infest it. I don't care for using fake products.
Facebook has been rendered defective and is now antithetical to the open sharing and expression of ideas, constructive debate, and reasoned criticism. I don't care for defective products, either.

I tactfully explained that it was FAR easier to NOT get monkeypox than it was to NOT get Covid. They were quite adamant that I never post there ever again. I normally just read what various columnists and such have to say anyhow

It's a great way to get unfiltered info: case in point--Alex Berenson: All he ever did was post contradictory CDC info about Covid...they eventually banned him, whilst accusing him of essentially lying. He sued, won. They couldn't point to any fabrication he'd made that justified his banning, AND his ridicule. Turns out the White House asked Twitter to ban him, which they dutifully did, without justification

I never had a Twitter, but had a FB for sometime as one of my old girlfriends set one up for me. I had it for about 7-8 years and then finally deactivated it after college in 2014 as I could see the writing on the wall.
While it can be used for businesses and social groups, staying in contact with friends who live far away, and group messaging, ect. I find it to be the purist form of narcissisism from an individual standpoint. "Look at me, look at me, my life is so great, or my life is so crappy, look at me". Its basically just a platform to show everyone a perception of yourself that you want them to see. It's also the easiest way to spy on people and see what they are up to, you never know who is looking at you. You can write some stupid crap being angry and it can prevent you from getting jobs, it can ruin friendships, it can make people think of you differently than when they saw you in person. You can write something political and lose half of your "friends", or whatever. I also found that most of the time, only your newest friend requests would see your posts, people who you aren't that close with, but just friend requested you, will see everything you say, but a friend you've had on there for a 3 years you may never see their posts or they see yours. From college I had a lot of girl friends on Facebook and just their constant drama was enough for me. I realized that I didn't need it anymore. I didn't need people to see everything I'm doing in my life, didn't care about theirs either anymore. I realized that It would be better for people to wonder what the heck I'm doing and where I went, rather than me show them on Facebook.
When I finally left Facebook. It was a great change. I felt a lot more free to my self, I didn't feel like I had to prove anything or try for some status of who has the most friends, what can I say today to get a bunch of likes? That is the narcissistic side that is ruining people. "My group says I'm right therefore you are wrong". Ever since I left Facebook my life has been so much better and when I found my girlfriend who became my wife, she didn't have one either and we live our own lives together without any stupid drama or worrying about "our look" or dealing with idiots on Facebook. I'd highly recommend canceling it. Screw Mark Zuckerberg and his spying apparatus anyway.

Not to start anything bad. I mostly use Twitter and Facebook, just to keep an eye for friends, but mostly for sports related events or anything I like which I follow a few aircraft groups on FB only. I do keep in contact with some co workers via messenger who are funny AF to talk with, and that's bout it.

FB and Twitter is what you make it. Many make it like FW.

I cancelled my Twitter account couple years ago. When they started to censor research scientist who publish in peer reviewed science journals I figured
that is enough. There are other platforms you can use.

With cancellation of views not in their agenda should scare the heck out of everyone but somehow doesn't...

They had to let him back on, apparently details aren't allowed to be discussed, I doubt money changed hands or any of that. The biggest thing for him was they called him a liar without actually saying that word, AND without refuting anything he said in that last famous tweet, other than labeling it "misinformation" ("It doesn’t stop infection. Or transmission. Don’t think of it as a vaccine," Berenson told his Twitter followers at the time. "Think of it - at best - as a therapeutic with a limited window of efficacy and terrible side effect profile that must be dosed IN ADVANCE OF ILLNESS. And we want to mandate it? Insanity.")

have you taken a shot? if you haven't go to the cdc and read about side effects. I have taken 4 of them every time I was given the info.
most of what he says is actually true, same info I was given. but other info is let's just say exaggerated. he has made claims before covid19 and he was proven wrong. which he did by posting exaggerated or misleading claims.
btw who wants to mandate it. I don't know of anybody that was forced to take one.

I did the original double Moderna in spring of 2021--I had concluded by then it was really only killing the old (I'm 61, don't quite think of myself as 'old' yet) and infirmed, but my wife only has 1 functional lung, (cancer) and my sweetie cousin had a variety of issues, and I didn't want to be responsible for killing them. Fast forward, WIFE was regularly getting thrown out of stores for mask refusal, refused to get the shot, and was PRETTY sure our daughter had already given it to her, and cousin died 4 months after I got the shot...suicide. When the administration started threatening people who wouldn't get vaxxed it raised my suspicions, and by the time the concept of "boosters" came out I was done with it. Hopefully the shots I DID get won't make me grow a prehensile tail or something in the future
-
administration never threatened anybody who didn't get the shot. remember masks started in 2020. also you have no right to go into any store. you follow whatever rules. masks were no more intruding that shoes, tops and bottom.
I didn't force my wife to get the vaccine, she decided on her own. but I wish it had been around before she got sick. we both got fiber. we made our choice you made yours. but nobody forced us to get it.

When the defendant(s) settle it’s a win for the plaintiff.
He didn’t settle, Twitter did. He agreed as plaintiff to their offer. It’s common for settlements to stipulate that the plaintiff may not disclose the terms, that nearly always = $ and additional compensation in some fashion.

nobody forced them to take it. plenty of other jobs. my old company made having a checking account a condition of employment, how stupid is that. they didn't force me to get one. I made the decision on my own. I could have gone back to my old company.

So they weren’t threatened with loss of their job/career and to comply forced to take a preventative therapeutic? :headscratch:
It’s obviously not a vaccine by definition.

actual nobody forced them, nobody held them down. nobody put a gun to their head. nobody threatened to beat them up.
at any one time they could have told them kiss my behind. you yourself have said that employment is at will.
now military is different, you think I was asked at mcrd if I wanted the shots. nope I was told to line up, both arms. I could have said no and that would have been it. failure to adapt. now if anybody above you, gives you an order, you follow or face consequences. in the case of covid19, you were just out. think with whatever benefits you earned. we weren't civilians. we follow orders. so sorry if some got out. it's life.

I guess we just see it differently.
No gun to their head, but an EO that runs contrary to their employment contract in many cases. Most people put their job/career just below their family in priority…
I know several people with autoimmune disorders who were advised by their doctor not to get the shot, what about them?

I’m not speaking about military, very different employment agreements.

employment contracts are designed to be broken. look at me.
as for autoimmune were they at risk from taking the shot or from those who didn't take the shot and put them at even higher risk.

They were advised by their doctor not to get the shots in the beginning. I haven’t asked recently (~6 months) about it, but last time I did, one with Wegener’s and another with Lupus, advice had not changed, the others I can’t say atm. Yes, absolutely, they’ve been advised to limit contact with others and wear N95 in public. Hope was for herd immunity at some point…
These were their doctors opinions, not mine…*not to be construed as medical advice*

We don't need Twitter and Facebook. They need us. They need our data.
The guys running these companies and similar are fully committed to profit, not you. While there are companies that still have integrity and value people and privacy first, these don't.
Some "news" agencies unsurprising behave the same way. Valuing profit above human decency. It is these "news" sources that truly have a problem with fake news. Inventing or stretching information to get a very measured reaction from you. Keep you watching. True opiate of the masses. Sowing division in our country for profit.
Obviously, some do this far more than others. This might help: https://adfontesmedia.com
