Empty Greene back on Twitter

[this is my last post about Twitter until Adolph Hitler himself starts posting]

Elon Musk's Twitter Restores Marjorie Taylor Greene's Personal Account

The personal Twitter account of extremist Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) was reinstated on Monday, nearly a year after it was “permanently suspended” for violating the social media platform’s policies on COVID-19 misinformation.

The far-right lawmaker’s account was reactivated days after the new owner and CEO of Twitter, Elon Musk, restored the accounts of other controversial figures including former President Donald Trump.

Greene was booted from the website in early January after her fifth suspension, which triggered her permanent removal in line with Twitter’s COVID-19 misinformation policy at the time.

1. My time to troll her

I'm running an experiment:
How caustic can I be on Twitter toward well-known right-wingnuts before the platform throws me off.
I'm only recently on Twitter mainly for that reason.

So far, certain words and phrases are getting one of those heads-up notices with the option to post/edit/not post. I post.

Let's see how far I can go. I don't care if I'm banned. Twitter isn't a thing for me. I read relevant tweets here on DU and that's good enough for me.

A hobby that can easily be dropped without insult or harm to the hobbyist.
I suggest many and more and all and even those like me who never 'tweeted' ought become 'picaduras' of the pustule-partisans.

Just such a petty thing might be enough for Muskrat to put her back on the banned list...

when she already had that PPP loan forgiven (but let's not help out our youth with those predatory college loans).
