Except for the ones who are banned for violating the “Twitter Rules.”

So it’s good if you like a feed of things tied to your direct interests, that Twitter allows.

I’m interested in Sci-Hub. I don’t want to use Twitter for part of my interested and the ??? for other things.

This reminds me of criticisms of "metoo". Yes, i'm sure someone somewhere got a raw deal. But as far as I can see the people banished deserve it, and the overall ecosystem is better for it.

So you think SciHub deserves it? And that we’re better off without their voice?

Obviously, you’re free to think what you like but this seems like a sad and limited worldview. Assuming that everything removed from my perception deserves to be removed.

I don't know. For what it's worth, the account is back and the entire basis for this conversation (a perm suspension) is null and void.

The system largely works, from what I can see. Getting thrown off Twitter for 24h isn't that bad of a mistake even, given the scale of the challenge they face to enforce their TOS to billions of accounts.

Can't be banned from HN right?

[fortuna86]

You can.

I'd say that was a pretty clear rhetorical question
