2023 was the first year of X/Twitter under Elon Musk, and a huge year for me and others who got amnesty on this app.
I got my account back in April after being banned for a year and a half. Within weeks, I had brought international attention to Irish hate speech laws which sparked a national debate here.
In August, I started #BanTheADL, which quickly became the number one trend on the site and reached Elon himself, as X users united to take on and expose the censors in a campaign that woke up countless people to the evils of that organisation.
After October 7th, I was one of the biggest accounts exposing the Zionist war propaganda being fed to the West. Then when the Dublin riots happened, I was one of the most read Irish voices on here.
This is what's possible when we have a level playing field in the public square - I don't have any big backers or corporate media behind me. And that, ultimately, is why the establishment attacks X so hard.
I thank everyone who helped me spread the truth on these issues, and I will always owe a debt of gratitude to @elonmusk for freeing the bird and allowing me and many others a voice here again. May 2024 be another year of rolling back the censorship regime which looked unstoppable just a couple of years ago.
