New X/Twitter account | Navigating Big Tech

My X account was suspended this week. No warning. No clear explanation. Years of memories, conversations, and small moments of connection — gone in an instant. I’m less surprised than I am annoyed. Platforms come and go, but the lesson repeats itself: our digital homes are always borrowed, never owned.

There is a particular irony in how Big Tech treats sex workers and adult creators. Our labour, presence, and engagement help build platforms — lending them audience, attention, and edge—until we become inconvenient. Until discretion, branding, advertiser comfort, or funding demands erasure. What gets framed as “safety” or “community standards” often functions as selective censorship and intolerance, applied unevenly. Perhaps that, too, is a reminder: visibility be it online or offline has always been conditional, but voice, community, and memory are not.

As for now, I am back on X here: https://x.com/dominaxashley, but you can always follow me on Substack, Instagram, Bluesky and Fetlife.
