So as an outsider who is literally just trying to piece this together, it doesn't seem extreme or left-wing at all. Can you explain why this is an extreme left wing talking point?

HOLY SHIT no way this is ridiculous, I just wanted to check something that sounded "crazy" and it's true. I liked about 5 anti @garrytan replies as a test and I am unable to tweet or retweet! What the fuck!!! Are you serious! Garry I pay for one of your fucking services I just wanted to check that these people were WRONG not that they were correct. What the hell.

  I can't do shit on Twitter: https://imgur.com/a/OBnVpUI https://imgur.com/a/OBnVpUI Cool! Ok so, confirmed. Garry Tan is a sinister guy. Glad I asked here! Edit: Sorry but how is this downvoted to zero? I have done nothing except add five "likes" to Twitter and my account is now banned there. This is insane. I was pro-or-neutral-Garry at the start of this convo, he was just the Posterous guy. Now my Twitter is gone. What the hell? Edit 2: uhh so how do you get an account back?

    It could simply be that twitter is having issues. I see weird stuff as well. ("something went wrong" messages all over the place). https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32644427 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32644427

      Yeah it seems to be just a glitch. Kinda wild to see "just like some tweets, see what happens..." and then have Twitter completely crap out.

    Twitter automatically bans new accounts all the time. (I’ve heard from others that contacting support helps, but I personally just gave up on getting an account.) If you want to test getting blocked, you need to do it with an established account.

    Whether it's a ban or a glitch, why would you blame Garry for it? He doesn't control Twitter.
