Cory Doctorow:I'd been suspended for having a list to which I add trolls called "colossal assholes." [...] Weirder: "Colossal assholes" got me suspended, but not its companion list, "Toe-faced shitweasels". [...]
In response to Twitter's sensitivity about "colossal assholes" as a listname, I've renamed and expanded my lists.
- Potent emetics
- Tissue-thin bad faith
- Foolish timewasters
- Beneath contempt
- Odious nonsense-spewers
- Confederate gravy-eaters
- Toe-faced stenchweasels
- Hilariously inept lackwits
- Probably bots
- Thick as two short planks
- Raving conspiracists
- Sociopath climate deniers
- Dim bulb centrists
- Inept MAGA trolls
- Red scare bedwetters
Previously, previously, previously, previously, previously, previously.
I'd go with "Accounts twitter is too lazy to ban" unless there is a limitation on the length of the list name.
If there is a length limitation: "Not buying drinks for" or "Ignore list"
I suspect that searching respectively for 'colossal asshole' and 'toe-faced shitweasel' on some of the more popular sites on the internet might reveal why they were more sensitive about one term than the other. I also suspect he knows this. Not that objecting to either term is reasonable.
Wherein "social media" teaches people what words to use.
