People are leaving Twitter and getting their accounts suspended by Twitter. It’s a shit hole. No wonder the Tweets are disappearing.

I told @BasedMikeLee to "cup the balls when he swallowed" on a tweet of him defending Trump.

He blocked me and got me suspended for a week.

Yeah, I remember back when I had Twitter, I said something like "your mom probably leaves your room every day and thinks 'i should have swallowed' in polish, under a Tweet calling women who died from lack of abortion sluts. He wasn't suspended, but I was. Because apparently what I said is much worse than actively bulling people that lost life because of a shitty legislature and religious values.

Do we have the opposite of a suspension here? Like, an elevation or something? Because this post deserves it. You get a week of Kbin Gold, which doesn't actually exist and would mean absolutely nothing if it did!

You can technically boost it, which works like a retweet on Twitter.

Not much, but it's something! If you have Mastodon users following your Kbin profile, they'll have the post pushed to their feeds as if you said it in the microblog tab (since Kbin can work as a Mastodon replacement).
