I feel like I need to make things clear once again since there might be a bunch of hurt feelings out there. First of all, I don't care about your feelings. I make this clarification so people with hurt feefees can read this instead of bugging me about their hurt feefees.
Intro finished, let's move on to the main topic. Religion. I honestly don't care what religion you are. Don't push your faith on me and I won't dismantle your faith piecemeal and leave you a stuttering and stammering nitwit. I grew up as a Christian reading the Bible several times a year. I know that book like the back of my hand.
That being said, I am not a Christian. I won't ever be a Christian again. No you should not pray for me. Your religion isn't mine, don't force your morals and ideals upon me. Are there things we will agree on? Yes. Are there things we will disagree on? Yes. If you keep it civil and you don't attack my religion, I won't attack yours. It's that simple.
Now, the question, what is my religion? I am a Nichiren SGI Buddhist. Don't make the mistake that others have and try to say, "You're supposed to be a pacifist!" "Why are you so mean? Aren't you a Buddhist?", because it doesn't work. If you don't know the religion, then don't act like you do. It takes years of study to even come to a basic understanding of Buddhism.
Furthermore, I liken myself to a modern Toki Jonin. Fuck your feelings and fuck being pacifist. Toki Jon in wasn't barred from being a warrior just because of his beliefs. I won't be either.
If you got to this point and found yourself offended, good. That means you have a lot of self reflection to do. If you got here and thought it was funny, good. It is ridiculously funny that I have to be this much of an asshole to get people to leave me alone about religion. If you got this far and you are angry? Fuck you. What are you gonna do about it?

Banning verified accounts actively hurts X and its suite of products.
Verified accounts are willing to put their own hard-earned cash to build here.
I paid for premium+ even when my take-home barely scraped 10k, because I believed in what I was building.
I still do.
But I will never use XMoney with any other account other than @thekingofstank.
X cut off my X app integrations, killing my app when they banned my account with no stated reason.
Imagine if that was XMoney as payment processor? I'd be dead in the water and have to scramble to set up with a competitor.
This isn't hypothetical either, over the next couple months I will be raising and spending thousands of dollars to support AI artists.
XMoney would be a perfect fit, but my XMoney tied account is suspended. Nobody can contribute to a pool for an account they can't see.
If XMoney is both tied to X user identity and is supposed to be a banking/finance app, then users must expect that their X user identities are safe.
Sure, XMoney allows me to "continue" using it, but X will only see withdrawals.
No person who has been suspended will bank with X, and the account suspension banner will be a constant reminder why.
I know the safety team has been slammed with the election season, but there would be far fewer appeals if you gave us a ticket#, a queue position, and a timeline for the process.
There would also be fewer if organized mass reporting, which is inauthentic behavior according to X's own TOU, didn't lead to an automatic suspension. This is what happened to me: a wave of reports, then a ban for no stated reason. https://t.co/0Q0YJk8dWC
If X wants businesses to use X products for things other than self promotion, X moderation must be open with its process.
-------------
On a personal note, I can't change the email for my suspended X account. It's a google workspace email and the only reason I kept it is because of my X account. Google is billing me money every month, and I have to pay it in the hope that I can eventually regain access to my account.
And another side note, I can't log out of the mobile app, so I have a constant wave of notifications from @thekingofstank and the only way to remove it is to delete the cache or reinstall.

@ridgewallet I think you owe Dads an apology for supporting those insufferable bitches. Especially families who no longer have their dads. Like Charlie's family. Fet tucked cunts.
