Rob Reiner smoked Meat(head) comment apparently got me banned from X forever

So much for free speech. The day after Election Day I was about to take a flight and saw some stupid post saying Rob Reiner was going to light himself on fire if Kamala lost the election. I wrote in the comments of the post something like “400 pounds of smoked Meat(head)”.

When I landed my Twitter was permanently suspended for violating the X rules. Now, I never got any clarification on exactly what I did, but this post seems to be the only thing that makes sense. I have sent in appeals apologizing for the comment and saying it was a joke in poor taste. I said maybe the person making the decision was unaware Reiner was called “Meathead” in All in the Family. Thus the context may have been lost and taken literally? I really don’t know.

I meant no harm in the comment. Maybe it was a poor attempt at humor. But to get banned with no explanation is truly mind boggling. I have received no correspondence in two weeks regarding the reason for the suspension or any notice that they even received my appeal.

At the end of the day I wasn’t very active on Twitter lately so it’s just an annoyance. But just really ironic with X being called the last bastion of free speech and literally the day after the election I get banned for this nonsense. I have never been banned or even warned on any social media site in my life.

When I go on X now it is really tilting seeing how much leeway people are given with the posts. This whole thing really makes no sense. I’m sure if I paid for blue I would be fine. Who knows, maybe Reiner himself flagged the comment. Bullshit.

To be clear, there are no DMs “I slid in”. There is no conduct that could be seen as improper even by the most strict standard. This has to be a massive overreaction to a single silly post.

This is what I see when I sign in for the last 2 weeks. I followed around 300 and had about 300 followers. All really came from live tweeting an online season of the show Big Brother years ago when I was recovering from surgery. So I don’t give much a shit about that. It still lets me pay for premium to see posts, lol, if I would like to. What a joke.

Btw sorry about the self serving post. I was hoping that the account would be reinstated. But 2 weeks later and hearing nothing forced my hand. But I think it does show that even on a “free speech” platform like X, you could be arbitrarily fucked over at a moments notice.

Just do what people do here when they get banned, set up a new account with a different user name.

This seems more painful than any surgery could be.

I think you nailed it with some young kid not understanding the reference. Doesn’t even have to be a kid at this point. Could be 45 and not get the reference.

Me? No chance. I wouldn’t even use the word bitch on twitter. No chance I used a slur. I may have referred to Senator Kelly as a dollar tree Ian Sams after I saw him come on the news and lie about the abortion issue. That’s about as worse as I would get.

Just like most people I can’t say 10 years ago I didn’t use some slurs on X. But no chance I would ever type the N word. I still use cocksucker in conversation from time to time. But it’s because it just sounds so good. I can’t quit it completely. But I wouldn’t write it on X.

I’m no angel. But I know that it’s absolute nonsense my twitter was suspended. I didn’t wish Rob Reiner harm and in all sincerity I hope he is doing well. Was just a throw away stupid joke.

lol I literally have account with the sole purpose of trying to get it banned. I have said some awful stuff to lee Greenwood lol.

It's shit anyways. Why do you care about it so much?

It’s not like I’m losing sleep over it. But just as your post further confirms for me…just the absolute absurdity of it being banned.

It’s also the timing. I just keep hearing about how X is the real free speech forum. Meanwhile, I got banned for a bad joke.

But to the other part of your point is well taken. In the end, this isn’t something to dwell on. I think with two weeks of total silence and the account seemingly banned for life….I just wanted to say something about it and move on.

There were restrictions placed on the account but it hasn't been banned yet.

This is where the lack of human support sucks.

You were probably banned by an AI which misunderstood your comment, and then the bot reviews its own decision.

Anyone who has used ChatGPT (even the newest version) has seen that AI says/concludes some bizarre things, including ones which basic facts disprove.

Major Twitter/X accounts have also been wrongly suspended, and it takes a big campaign from their following (usually a friend with a similar big following) to get them BACK.

Someone like you will have a hard time to get the account reinstated, even if I were to try to tweet about it. I can try to DM @TwitterSupport and see if I can help. Give me your Twitter handle.

Thx Druff. I appreciate the post. I have seen it’s a long shot. It’s @JeffreyDime. But please don’t take too much time with it. But I am thankful for you reaching out.

I need to subscribe to premium in order to message @support.

I was considering doing so anyway, so if I do, I will message on your behalf.

It’s pretty funny. When I sign in I get like 50 posts I can scroll through. Then it will say by “subscribing” I will unlock more posts. I do think if I paid I probably wouldn’t have been suspended in the first place. It’s possible if I pay now my likelihood of getting reinstated would go up exponentially.

Of course I am not a known person and it made no sense to me to get the check mark right now. It certainly helps people trying to build a brand for themselves or trying to protect that brand. Druff, I don’t think you need it right now tbh man. Sure there are some benefits for you. Longer posts and more visibility of your tweets probably being the top two. But you really don’t need it. People in poker know who you are…checkmark or not.

Dont waste your time on Reiner. Guy is a joke.

Ive scanned over the posts in this thread and dont have much to offer. But what I do want from Twitter or any other online town square (Facebook, Truth, BlueSky, PFA, etc) is to be neutral without punishment. Now if someone gets extreme and outside of normal limits, then ban, etc. Just be a neutral platform that allows free speech without censorship.

Someone tell me what the green thing is next to druffs name where the blue check mark would be on x. He comes across my timeline and I can’t make out what it is for the life of me. I don’t have x on my tablet and I can’t see what it is on my phone. If he’s going to get a check mark, it’s going to disappear.

It's a pager.

I get restricted all the time, file an appeal and say truth hurts.

On my 3rd account.

Meathead isn't happy with Bluesky, either.

Its a cesspool.

Can you imagine having a disagreement on some random Subject and then me saying to you that you and your way of thinking belongs in a cesspool? I dare him to start talking like that to peoples faces. Classic keyboard warrior.

I doubt Reiner ever recovered from the South Park boys taking him down.

https://youtu.be/VvpK998H6Kk?si=TeTC2RgGF5uo8RO3

Rob Reiner essentially became his Meathead character, minus the lack of money.

Mike "Meathead" Stivic was a pompous, loud, know-it-all liberal who got very agitated when people disagreed with him or called him out. In one memorable episode, when the Bunkers came home and were held at gunpoint by two black burglars they surprised (played by Clevon Little and pre-Sanford Demond Wilson), Mike attempted to lecture them how he understood their plight of living in poverty in the city. When asked by one of the burglars what experience he had with being black in the inner city, Mike sheepishly replied, "Well, I'm studying it in my sociology class", and they laughed at him. While All in the Family almost exclusively made fun of the political right, via the ignorant Archie character, they also sometimes poked at obnoxious, know-it-all liberals via the Mike character.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nJzHvUheOc

Reiner then became Mike Stivic, and public rapidly got sick of hearing him lecture them. He's been doing it for decades, and now especially loves doing it via social media.

Hilarious how he ran away from Twitter's "toxicity", only to find the same level among fellow libs on Bluesky. Ya think? This old retard still hasn't realized that the social media left is even more toxic than the social media right.

The last we saw of the Meathead character was him losing his good job as a professor at UCSB, because he marched naked to protest nuclear weapon proliferation. Edith asked, "So how was Michael taking his clothes off going to stop nuclear weapons?", which got the biggest laugh from the audience of any line, because it illustrated how ridiculous liberals at the time were.

Just saw past and present stats for X. Under old management members were 65% liberal, 31% conservative. Under new management liberals 47%, conservatives 48%. With liberals:

Lively debate = toxic
