STATEMENT REGARDING MY TWITTER/X ACCOUNT

Today, my Twitter/X account was permanently banned and my appeal to have it overturned was denied.

There was no warning issued, no 2 week suspension, no option to delete the offending tweet. Just straight permanent deplatform.

My offending tweet?

"Bring back the guillotine."

I quote tweeted this sentence to the video presented here on 3rd September.

https://twitter.com/i/status/1698249077061009496

Someone reported the tweet and my account was irretrievably shut down on the basis of violating rules against violent speech.

The vaccines (and vaccine mandates) caused so much harm to people all over the world. Many lost their livelihoods, incomes, businesses, marriages, families, confidence and will to live. Some lost their good health and worse, some lost their lives. The coercion to get vaccinated was immense, and to be told "it was a choice" is a kick to the teeth. Today, many regret having taken the vaccine.

My crime? I dared open up the conversation on how best to hold decision makers accountable for their decisions.

Meanwhile, other Twitter handles are able to post these and keep their accounts. The inconsistencies and arbitrary nature of these suspensions is ashtonishing.

Having said that, I fully accept the consequences of my actions.

On a brighter, more productive note, I'm proud to have educated thousands on my YouTube channel (Ministry of Nodes) on how to hold their own keys and run their own Bitcoin node such that these arbitrary decisions can't be made with people's money. I'm convinced it will get worse, and that we need Bitcoin more than ever.

As part of my educational content, I also sell plug & play Bitcoin Nodeboxes to those who want to quickly get up and running without the steep learning curve that goes behind it. Have a watch of how easy it can be.

I'm offering 10% off to those who purchase a Nodebox with the discount code GUILLOTINE for a limited time.

Thanks for reading, nostriches.

thanks for your passionate work helping and being.

i myself was freed from the sad bird app on July 3 for similar reasons. for the first few weeks i attempted appeals, all failing, until i realized what a waste of time it would be for me to be there. granted, i dont have nearly the impact as one such as yourself, but the more resulting free time has affprded me the ability to work on more projects

Same exact thing happened to me over there. It sucked losing some great Bitcoin followers that I had built up over the years.

After that I just started using Nitter and listen to more podcasts to keep myself updated.

Now here I am taking a ride on the nostr train.

I guess I need to come up with a new profile, name and pic. I'll stay as anon and not use my old Twitter profile. It's really a fresh and better start.

This is the type of stuff I want to see more of on nostr. Less meta discussions, more stuff that will get you banned on Twitter.

**BRING BACK THE GUILLOTINE**

I find that there is a positive relationship between content being banned on any Big Tech platform, and me automatically liking it, indeed.

Funny how that works, there is no limit to the amount of violence they would have supported against us, getting us fired, preventing us from going to the grocery store, witholding medical care, sending us to camps, i know plenty of people whod have gone farther and many more who turned a blind eye. Were supposed to forgive and forget that with no appology, but you saying there should be consequences? Banned.

This story was shared by Gigi on X and is also why I’m following you now on Nostr. I experienced something similar in 2022. I watched a video of a Canadian health minister talking about vaccine mandates and I commented “hang him”. Account was suspended for 7 months. After several attempts and agreeing to delete the tweet, I was allowed to use my account again but almost no one sees my posts now anyway.

Guillotine is too quick a resolution, many years in jail & then the gulag is my preference.

i would like to kindly start our #mikedrop chain with your statement. Even if this was not planned by you to promote #NOSTR

This fits my humour.

I will join as well to the #mikedrop chain when the time is right.

I got permanently banned a long time ago, and I'm not even sure why, but I bet it was something similar. I'll talk about ripping peoples' heads off and shitting down their throats if they deserve it, and some people do. I'm actually looking at it as much more of a blessing than a curse. TwitterX is a cesspool and a timesuck.
