You've been using HN primarily for political battle, which we ban accounts for, regardless of which politics they're battling for or against. We have to, because doing that destroys the curious conversation HN is supposed to exist for (see [1] for more explanation). I've therefore banned the account. If you don't want to be banned, you're welcome to email [email protected] and give us reason to believe that you'll follow the rules in the future.

Not surprising. The election of a Democrat government has emboldened them to start censoring their political enemies with less fear of government reprisal.

This should hopefully spur more competition in the micro-blogging space as conservatives are now forced to create their own alternative. Previous alternatives didn't see much usage since the biggest names like Trump were still on Twitter.

Are they? Which ones?

TechnoFog, an account which literally only tweets lawsuits just got banned too.

#WalkAway is a movement of ex liberals who have left the democrat party. Founded by a gay dude, majority blacks, hispanics, gay etc. Had over half a million users who shared their testimonials on why they left the democrat party. Facebook banned the group today along with the founder and all the members.... all 500K of them

I assume you typo'd that handle? There are only five tweets from 2013 on that account. https://twitter.com/TechnoFog

Yeah, think he means techno_fog. His claim that it only tweets lawsuits is definitely not true, as well: https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:vnAQV4...

I imagine whatever actually got him banned isn't caught in the cache, though.

Ah gotcha. Thanks! Yes, that account is not quite what was being positioned in GP.
