Aaron Rupar finally learns how Twitter works after 11 years on the platform

Aaron Rupar emerged from his 3-day Twitter ban as if he’d survived a 10-year coma.

Rupar is absolutely flummoxed that people on Twitter could be banned for vague rules.

The rules are so vague you can get banned for anything, which is probably the point

Conservative Twitter veterans had some thoughts for Aaron Rupar.

Seriously, this one should be framed and hung in the Clueless Tweets Hall of Fame.

We liked it so much that we stole it.

Welcome to Twitter, Aaron Rupar.

But enough about the rules under Jack.

Exactly. Conservatives were banned for years for arbitrary reasons, sometimes being offered no reason whatsoever.

Essentially, if you ticked off enough liberals (an easy thing to do), they’d mass report, and you’d find yourself in a timeout … or worse.

Hi,

It's me tweeting from 2010. In the time period I come from, we have Twitter. I've heard that in a few years Twitter will ban people for using regular pronouns if the subject wants different pronouns

This seems arbitrary and strange to me. That's probably the point https://t.co/zY18dYoiQq

To listen to Aaron, you’d think Twitter was just fine until a few months ago.

A person could be banned from Twitter 1.0 for stating what was known biological fact for millennia: that men can’t be women.

The Left was okay with that.

sucks when it's you, doesn't it? Closely held private company can do what it wants. Remember?

It used to be so simple when the rules only applied to the people they hate.

LOLOLOL!

Funny how the rules haven’t changed, but the application of the rules gets applied to “both sides” evenly and NOW you have an issue. 🙄

That’s the real kicker. Rupar and others aren’t upset about the rules. They’re just mad they’re being applied to them now.

You out yourself as hopelessly out of touch if you are just discovering this a decade too late.

… slowpoke. LOL!

Do you remember when they were banning us for 'Learn To Code'??

Or are you going to pretend otherwise.

Talk about ‘vague rules’. Accounts were canceled for insulting journalists.

Real journalists would have objected to these actions. They loved it.

Rupar is so close to getting it.

Also, people were banned for posting a New York Post article about Hunter Biden in October 2020. https://t.co/TBUf7mXXW3

Yep, a newspaper was banned for reporting a bombshell news story in the ‘before times’ on Twitter that Aaron Rupar apparently missed.
