Righting on the Wall is Moving

By Ecklebob Chiselfritz

We are changing our url due to unwarranted and continuing harassment from the social justice warriors at the helm of Twitter.

They have targeted and labeled me, Kim and our blog as being unsafe to the general public.

We may be dangerous to their delicate Liberal Progressive sensibilities, but we are not unsafe.

Please visit us at our new location on the innerwebz  Righting on the Wall

Ecklebob Chiselfritz - I'm done. Twitter has locked my account...again

This is ridiculous. I have done nothing to warrant the harassment I have received from Twitter. I'm done with Twitter. I will concentrate on blogging for the forseeable future. I hope y'all continue to visit us here at Righting On The Wall and interact with us in our comment section.

Is the horribly run Twitter up for sale?

The progressive liberal social justice warriors at the helm have done nothing except lose billions of dollars for shareholders in every quarter since day one of becoming a publicly traded company.


Of course Twitters founders and the investment bankers who rolled out the initial public offering made billions of dollars.

Shadowbanning sucks! It's Rather Orwellian

by Kim D. 

Are you feeling neglected on Twitter? Did your followers stop chatting with you? If so, you might be shadowbanned.

According to the article "Twitter Meets Orwell," 

Twitter has introduced a brave new way of screwing with users, which some have taken to calling shadowbanning.

Basically, this acts like a gag: you can send normal tweets normally, but people Following you won’t see them on their timeline. (However, people reading your profile will see them.)

The following restrictions also apply:

• Your tweets won’t show up in certain hashtags (which and why is unknown).
• Your tweets won’t show up in Search, either by keyword or by account name.

Take consolation in the fact that you certainly aren't alone in your Twitter ostracization. It's nothing personal - you probably are rooting for the wrong team in Election 2016 or appear to be doing so by a hyper-tweeked algorithm.

Don't get too upset by shadowbanning, says Daddy Warpig, who claims it usually is temporary punishment, but how do you know for certain if this had happened to your Twitter account?

Because fewer people are seeing your tweets, your Twitter stats (under “Your Tweet activity”) will likely drop. Several people have first noticed a ban when their number of Impressions, for example, fell off sharply. (People with low Follower counts might not notice a significant difference, though.)

Sometimes people who Follow you will notice you haven’t shown up in Search or in their timeline, and will contact you. (This is more likely to happen if you’re a consistent, high volume tweeter, of course.)

The easiest way to tell, though, is to just test. DM someone who Follows you. Ask them to check their timeline (under the Home tab) for recent tweets of yours, or tweet out a test tweet without @ them. If they see it, you’re okay. If not, you might be shadowbanned.

The insidious thing about a shadowban is that, short of logging in under another account, there is no way for you to tell if you’ve been banned. You tweet as normal, assuming thing are working per usual, while behind the scenes Twitter has decided to unperson you.

[This is likely the reason the two obtrusive features (see Evolution of the Shadowban, below) were removed: Twitter doesn’t want users to know when they’re being censored.]

What stinks is that there is no way to reach out to Twitter to rectify this problem unless you are on Jack's good side or are a verified account with some clout:

If you’ve been shadowbanned, there is no known way to either appeal or evade the restrictions. Since the ban usually lasts about 24 hours, all you can do is wait.

However, if you suspect someone else has caught a ban, add them to a List. Lists are not (as of this writing) subject to the restrictions of the ban: a shadowbanned person’s tweets still show up. Lists will allow you to read them normally, and are recommended in any case.

Also, some alternative Twitter clients, notably Tweetdeck (according to several reports), are notsusceptible to being spoofed by a shadowban. The banned person’s tweets show up normally.

If you don’t want Twitter to censor other people’s tweets from your timeline, use Tweetdeck.

At present time, no one knows for sure how one catches a temporary case of the shadowban bug. And, if you cannot see my tweets or view our blog, you might not even see this information, but in case you should happen to break through this Orwellian barrier, here are some tips to avoid this Twitter hell:

No one knows exactly what causes a shadowban, but it’s likely some combination of spam or harassment reports trigger it, either automatically or by hand. During the summer Twitter stated it would begin “defusing” confrontations in hashtags by punishing people who spam a tag with unrelated or abusive tweets; it is likely shadowbanning is one such tool.

If shadowbanned, you will never know why it happened and you cannot ever know for sure that it really happened. Again, Orwellian and Kafkaesque.

In general, it’s good to avoid any behavior that can trigger a spam report. Check Twitter’s online Help system for details.

Good luck out there in the Twittersphere. With the new rules, suspiciously creeping in as we are 40-some days from a pivotal election, you will need it.  Either that or just start posting cat memes.

Ecklebob Chiselfritz -Twitter has unlocked my account

So after I send a couple of emails Twitter admits it made a mistake...

BUT they continue to malign our blog Righting On The Wall...

Ecklebob Chiselfritz - Twitter has locked me out

Twitter has locked me out of my account. They claim I am an automated bot and they need to protect other users from spam.

They also claim our little blog here is dangerous to whatever device you are accessing the internet with.

They say Righting On The Wall might be a source of malware, chicken pox, measles, Hillary Clinton's kennel cough, 'taters and whatnot.

They are doing this under the guise of claiming "suspicious activity" on my Twitter account. The only thing suspicious about my account is my horrible spelling and atrocious grammar.

My Twitter account has never been hacked.

This blog site has never been hacked.

Please look at my Twitter time line.
I am not a serial tweeter much less a spam bot.
Some people even tell me they enjoy reading the sentences I manage to string together.
 
I am careful in what I post so as to not to violate Twitters terms of service policy.
  
Please scroll thru Righting On The Wall and read what we post.
We ask for no money. We don't even run ads.
We ask for no personal information.
We respect anonymity.

If I were a paranoid individual I might believe I'm being targeted by Twitter solely for posting my Conservative views/opinions.

I'm not a paranoid individual.

But a little voice in my head is telling me...
 

#RubioCrimeSpree

by J.R. Holmsted

With the announcement of a decades old "arrest" yesterday, Twitter blew up with a recycled hashtag from this summer's revelations of the Rubio's "criminal" histories. Here's a few that made me snort, but take a stroll through the hashtag yourself to find more gems.

This monster has to be stopped. Traffic tickets & being in a public place after dark?? What's next? Overdue library books? #RubioCrimeSpree

Twitter rarely disappoints when pouncing on a hashtag.

Rubio's team wasted no time jumping in on the fun with a new video, once again showing their sense of humor:
