Twitter Lock Out is the funniest thing in Internet History

[brettdale]

Top trend on Twitter is #TwitterLockOut

Right wing people are going off, because they think Twitter is deleting all their followers,
but in reality, Twitter is finally deleting all the Russian Bot accounts, so anyone who
wrote Pro Trump tweets, and got followed by Russian Bots are getting their fake followers deleted.

Its freakin funny.

They're losing it on twitter.


Thinking twitter is censoring them and declaring they're going to leave twitter.

hahaaha.

1. They're gonna sue the Twitters!

I'm reading the timeline of this guy:

https://twitter.com/williamlegate

I have no idea who he is but he's tracking the wingnut freakout.

[brettdale]

2. This is so so funny

I did a tweet, saying its just twitter deleting russian bot accounts, and this
right winger tweeted me back saying...

"Wrong they have deleted this account."

Not sure how he replied.

He then deleted his reply to me, as soon as he figured out his mistake.

7. hilarious -

13. This is a very deep, rich, ironic, and, most of all STUPID (as in the botflies) vein

I don’t feel like opening any more of my own, for the time being

[Maraya1969]

19. I've recently found several bot accounts from 2009. I think Russia must be

either paying people for these accounts or doing something else to take them over.

It is easy to find the bots when they have been added since 2016 and up. I want to find out how they are getting the well established accounts

[blogslut]

23. I wouldn't be surprised...

if there was some marketplace where users could sell their Twitter accounts for quick cash. Not to mention there are people who've abandoned their accounts, which are then taken over using password cracking software.

[Maraya1969]

24. That makes a lot of sense. Thanks

[brettdale]

3. This is going to be a fun night

The ACTUAL bullies, the ACTUAL trolls are losing it, cuz their fake followers
are being deleted.

One guy is saying he lost a 1000 followers.

hahahaha.

This has made my night.

[brettdale]

4. hahahaha

Right wingers are deleting their own accounts to try and make a point about
how bias twitter is.

Hell, with twitter deleting russian bots, repugs leaving twitter, twitter is going to be
a great place come morning.

No more trumpies!!!!

[brettdale]

5. hahahaha

The trump supporters on twitter are now comparing Twitter to Nazis burning books.

[blogslut]

6. I wonder if this affects good bots like like @congressedits

They've had some trouble keeping their account active.

[brettdale]

8. Im sure they have a plan in place

Not to be deleted, probably contacted twitter or something.

This is just too good tonight.

[brettdale]

10. Suck it Sean Hannity

Hes has had 300 thousand fake accounts deleted from his followers.

Hahahahahaha.

Hes seeing dollars go out the window.

[Cha]

12. Is this real?

I love it when reality is such sweet Karma!

[brettdale]

14. Its really fun

Watching this.

Seeing the melt down from the ACTUAL Republicans on twitter, saying they're going
to leave twitter for good.

Twitter is going to be a much brighter place tomorrow.

[Cha]

15. It seemed too Good to be True!

All the things we've saying about the Russian bots on twitter and they're finally paying attention!

Mahalo, brett

20. Ohhhhh

Liz Wheeler
@Liz_Wheeler
Murderers are twice as likely to kill victims with their hands or feet than with a rifle. Why aren't we banning hands?

What about biting deaths?

Ban mouths?

Or just teeth?

[Fullduplexxx]

29. To those "what aboutists " i say go ahead and take up that cause but im starting with guns

Go work on getting hands and feet banned im working on ridding us of guns

[brettdale]

21. LOL

Republicans want to start a class action lawsuit against twitter.

This is just been the best couple of hours.

36. .

You crying? Are you CRYING? There’s no crying....there ‘s no crying in twitter......snowflake.

[DetlefK]

22. "Reichskristallnacht", "censorship", "1984", comparisons to Goebbels...

"Twitter became internet dictator"

Aaaaaaand one person misunderstood that
1. The First amendment does not mean that you can say whatever you want.
2. The internet is not covered by the US Constitution anyways.

27. This person was probably OK with the NFL players being shouted down. Irony is that nobody is

In anyway infringing or taking away your free speech here. Is there some thing we can call these people other than snowflakes? That's ours now, and it's obviously building into an avalanche. The bots bolstered their resolve through numbers that they could withstand it when it arrived and it frightens them that they are not the legion they thought they were.

31. Unless youre lebron james then you should just shut up and dribble .. amiright?

[vercetti2021]

25. So they'd do the work Twitter won't do?

Sounds good to me! Hope the bounce off Facebook to make it sweeter.

[BumRushDaShow]

26. So will this mean that they will remove at least 1/2 of Drumpf's "followers"?

[NewJeffCT]

28. It's not just RWers

I lost 9 followers so far today. I remember I picked up several Russian followers after I had posted a few anti-Trump articles back in 2016.

[NewJeffCT]

30. funny comment here

[Fullduplexxx]

32. Such snowflakes

[dewsgirl]

33. Unhinged nutjobs😨

So the fake news worshippers are angry their fake followers are missing, yet it's hilarious when those of us that have and have had legit accounts lose everything on Twitter due to that side hacking us. Fuck them.

[MountCleaners]

34. Hilarious reading

Goes great with my morning coffee. What's disturbing, though, is that white supremacists are posting to the hashtag alongside their deplorable brethren and sistren. These people posting have no self-awareness.

[titaniumsalute]

35. Good fucking leave we don't want you anyway

[Squinch]

37. It IS really funny, but the guy who says, "This proves Twitter could have done something a long

time ago" is right.

Anyone who is a Twitter user should demand that this is done on a regular basis and BEFORE elections.

[blueinredohio]

38. Wonder how many followers Trump lost

[Gabi Hayes]

39. Best thread in the irony category
