I said "Jane, you ignorant slut" in a joke thread and my account was permanently suspended for "Violating our rules against hateful conduct."

It's literally a quote from an old Saturday Night Live skit that Dan Aykroyd used to do. It wasn't directed at anybody or anything.

So much for humor & free speech at Twitter. I did submit an appeal, but it's been a week and no reply. Meanwhile, Qanon is back on Twitter. I'd be happy to use it in a read-only mode but it doesn't show the people or accounts I follow, which is useless.

Edit: I find the downvotes to be quite interesting. I have the feeling that in some ways moderation on tech like Twitter + Meta is experiencing a clash of generations. What was mainstream comedy 30 years ago is quite different than today.

I have been suspended twice and am currently waiting out a seven day suspension. I don't think my comments were any different from many other posts I see daily.

My previous suspension was equally befuddling. I am also unaware of any way on Twitter to see your previous strikes or how/if/when they ever expire.

Comedy is outlawed again. I hope you enjoyed the intermission.

As a boomer, I immediately recognized the reference. But I doubt that boomers are managing Twitter's moderation. So perhaps it's the lack of context more than changing standards.

This is obviously an error or fake screenshot. The same thing and far worse is said thousands of times every day in his replies and it's fine.

This is the same kind of thing the right was highly paranoid about and instantly believed every mistake or claim. It's deja vu.

Can you source any tweets with the offending text that has been left up?

Finally a complaint about Twitter that isn't posted on Twitter!

If you go to Twitter and view the thread, the person in the screenshot is the person posting. It seems to be a Photoshop.
