Default Twitter hasn't been completely purged of wokeness

Got my first account lock on twitter because I referred to behavior as "hood rat behavior" in the context of saying if it was my kid I'd encourage them to go animal on the perpetrator and not give a rat's about whether the perp suffered serious injury, that I was sick of 'hood rat behavior being tolerated.

The policy cited was encouraging violence on the basis of race, religion, gender, sexual preference, yada yada.

Obviously they can't issue a blanket policy on any encouragement of violence because that would encompass talk of war.

I thought about it and instead of just deleting the tweet I appealed on the basis that nowhere did I mention any of the categories they cited, I was expressing disdain for the behavior.

I'm curious to see if the appeal goes anywhere.

Control freaks think their assumptions rule the world. It'd be funny if it wasn't so dangerous.

Of course there's no telling if the lock was triggered by a person or a bot. When it was unlocked there was no elaboration, nothing like "yeah you're right, we goofed" - just an "Account unlocked" screen.
