“We have determined that you have violated the Twitter Rules, so we’ve temporarily limited some of your account features. While in this state, you can still browse Twitter, but you’re limited to only sending Direct Messages to your followers – no Tweets, Retweets, Fleets, follows, or likes. Your account will be restored to full functionality in: 5 hours and 49 minutes” says message on National Zero’s Twitter screen after attempting to like a Tweet.
Here’s how it happened. On Sunday a right wing Twitter user posted this:
REPORT: Joe Biden waves to an empty field.https://t.co/gPp6Rsak7H

To which National Zero replied on Monday, and quickly got a response from another MAGA user:

And for the crime of posting this image as a reply…
…National Zero is doing hard time in the birdcage until this evening.
For what it’s worth “@indieladyy” was a good sport about it and responded with something to the effect of “Hahaha good one” (that reply also seems to have been deleted), and is unlikely to have been the person who reported it, as the ban notification was not seen by National Zero’s staff until 5:30 AM EST on Tuesday. So today we learned that level of meme-flaming is verboten on Twitter.
