Great! As much censoring that takes place on Twitter, there are some really good people to follow with same ideals, etc. Following now!

I should take bets as to how long I last!

I’m hoping you stay up! If Elon does take over then we should be good.

I'm not so sure about Elon but we shall see. I don't think he will like the essays I've written about him....

I was so happy to know you are back on Twitter! I'm following you through a friend's account! She followed you! You're amazing and your voice needs to be heard! Sooo hopeful that Elon will make a difference for free speech there.

Wish I could, but Twitter has cancelled me permanently and I can't open a new account. Are you on Gab?

I am permanently cancelled, too. I just opened an account with a different email address and used the name breakfreekaren. I didn't think it would work, but it did. I am being authentic self so I am not sure how long it will last.

I understand and really twitter is a cesspool but it does urge some to think

Other platforms are echo chambers and maybe that is why I like Twitter.

The ignorance is astounding

Exactly. At least there are still two sides on Twitter, although they are also mainly separated into echo chambers, but at least in the same location. I like the banter but not when it gets ugly.

I'm not on Twitter, don't want to be on Twitter. It is ran by the Socialist States of America. You cannot speak truth on there. Why would you want to be on there?

I was cancelled permanently a long time ago, and I am sure that is true of a lot people. People like me who you will never know about. We are not Bluechecks.

I speak the truth everywhere, which is why I got banned in the first place. My original account is still permanently banned. Lots of folks kept telling me to just start another account and I finally decided I would. Yes, it's a cesspool, on the other hand, I've met many wonderful people there and connected with a lot of brave freedom fighters. I'd probably have about 80 subscribers to my Substack if it wasn't for Twitter. What I like about it is that it isn't completely an echo chamber yet, like the other social media platforms that have formed (GETTR, Gab, etc). Twitter does try to put you in a box but at least there's still some interaction. Increasingly we are being isolated from those we disagree with and that is very dangerous. I don't have hope that Elon Musk will bring free speech to Twitter and actually I'm writing a piece now on this topic. Our voices are slowly but surely being silenced. But as long as I can speak and share my writing I will.

Yes, you can thank Twitter for me reading you here because I am banned there. I read you for your content and how well you write and your very informed and researched articles. I search for truth, and I read it where I find it. I really don't have time to read Twitter too. I read and follow 7 people on substack, Epoch Times, Gateway Pundit and other articles people reference. I cannot keep up with all of that. It takes me hours a day. If your happy being on Twitter, good for you. I have not interest in it. I just keep seeing people get all excited, "I am back on Twitter" as if that were the premier place to be. It probably is for publishers, but not everyday people. We are squashed after a few shares to BLM, DOJ or whatever about articles they don't want shared to a large audience. I liked Andy Ngo, James Woods, The Washington Times, and I forget who else. It has been a couple of years since I was banned for sharing Andy Ngo stuff and accused of violence for saying "he should have been tripped and kicked in the nuts." That's violence but people on the left wishing death to Trump and others is not. Anyway, bottom line if you are happy there that is all that matters. I won't be creating a new account, I can read your very good articles here. Thanks.

It's horrible how they are silencing anyone who speaks the truth--what happened to you and countless others. I wouldn't say I'm happy on Twitter, just fighting this battle, making my writings available to as many people as I can for as long as I can. I fully expect we will all be silenced eventually and maybe we go back to the Pony Express. I'm so grateful to have found Substack and this wonderful community of readers. Thank you!

I wish I didn't have to be on social media, but as a writer, it's kind of necessary. I honestly don't think I will last long, they will ban me fast again, I am sure, but I am curious to see how it goes. And I don't have so much time to devote to it, it took a long time to build my following, always getting shadow-banned, but I have to say, I met so many wonderful people thanks to Twitter. We shall see.

I get it. I'm going to have a go at it and see what happens. I have no hopes for Musk, I don't know if you read my essay, I Dream of Musk, https://khmezek.substack.com/p/i-dream-of-musk-6b4, but I wasn't exactly kind to him. He wants to drill holes in our brains. On the other hand, everyone rages against Twitter, but I met some many wonderful people there and I would probably have about 80 subscribers on Substack if it weren't for Twitter. So I am thankful for that. I probably won't last long but it will be fun for a minute.
