Just tweeted it, then saw it disappear within seconds!

As a top predator, who mainly eats vegetables pre-digested by lower animals in the form of pastured meat or eggs or dairy or wild seafood (#MEDS), it's my humble opinion that it's best to consume tweets after they've moved up in the trophic chain. #HappilyBannedOld Sailor

My account may not be banned, but it sure feels shadow banned at this point. Tweeted anyway. Still feels like 1984...

People need to adjust their expectations about Musk. I get that people are excited - which goes to show how bad the situation is - but Musk has a self-serving track record. People expected too much too fast. Let's wait and see how this plays out. The 'Censor Czar' makes $17 million a year. Would make sense to fire her to send a strong message. Then again, Tesla is dependent on China and the CCP. This could pose a contradiction problem where free speech is concerned for Musk and Twitter.

Just searched for it and I can see the tweet posted on there 7 times over the past 4 hours, so some are getting through OK.

The deal has been struck, but the transaction has not been completed. Musk does not yet run Twitter. Once the signatures are all in place on the paperwork and the funds have been transferred, then it's reasonable to start watching for changes. But not until.

I was temporarily banned right after Covid started 03/20 then when the new CEO came on board I was permanently banned. People are shocked when I tell them. Anyone who isn’t Banned I consider suspect or a useful idiot lol.

I saw an immediate difference in my Twitter experience. Night and day. My tweets saw greater reach, and I could see many friends whom I previously had to search or keep on lists to spot at all.

However, I still see shenanigans.

I suspect some code was altered, perhaps to hide its existence. But other tactics were kept in place.
