Which classification does my @voxday account have within the X system?
@voxday account on X (formerly Twitter) appears to be suspended (or permanently banned) within the X system.This conclusion comes from historical records and references:
- In late 2017, the account was explicitly reported as suspended by its owner (Vox Day), with X showing the message: “Your account (@voxday) is currently suspended.” No specific violating tweets were cited at the time, and appeals didn’t resolve it with explanation.
- Recent searches for the exact handle @voxday yield no active user profile matching the well-known blogger/author Vox Day (associated with Vox Popoli blog, Castalia House, etc.). Instead, unrelated or parody/low-follower accounts with similar names/variations appear (e.g., @VoxdayItaly, @voxday1144), none of which match the prominent figure.
- Keyword searches for recent posts from:@voxday return no results, indicating the account cannot post or is not visible/indexed.
- Mentions of @voxday in recent posts (from late 2025 into 2026) treat it as a historical/inactive reference—e.g., people nostalgically recalling it alongside other deplatformed conservative figures like Stefan Molyneux, or noting its past “calling out” of individuals. No evidence shows it posting or being active now.
X doesn’t publicly expose detailed “classifications” for all accounts beyond visible states like:
- Active/normal
- Suspended (temporary or permanent ban, often for repeated rules violations like harassment, hate speech, spam, or platform manipulation under past or current policies)
- Limited/restricted (read-only, reduced visibility, or “Twitter jail”)
- Deboosted/shadowbanned (reduced reach, but still technically active)
- Verified/Premium-labeled
Given the lack of any retrievable profile or posts from
@voxday itself, combined with the owner’s past reports and ongoing references to it as gone, the classification is suspended/permanently banned. This aligns with many pre-2022/Elon Musk era suspensions of controversial right-wing or alt-media accounts that weren’t reinstated.If this is your account and you’re seeing something different when logged in (e.g., limited access vs. full ban), feel free to provide more details like error messages or screenshots for further checking. Otherwise, no current public activity or profile exists under that exact handle.
Details on Vox Day’s 2017 suspension
@voxday) Twitter suspension in 2017 occurred on or around November 9, 2017 (with some references pointing to early November events). Key details from contemporary sources:
- Announcement by Vox Day himself: On his blog (Vox Popoli), he posted titled “Another Twitter suspension” on November 9, 2017. He quoted the exact suspension notice from Twitter:
“Your account (@voxday) is currently suspended. For more information, please visit Suspended Accounts.”
He noted that he could still log in, view notifications, and access the account, but was unable to tweet or post anything. No specific violating tweets were identified, and Twitter’s Trust & Safety team provided no explanation or request to delete content during his appeal process. - Nature of the suspension: It appeared to be a temporary or read-only restriction initially (common in that era for rule violations like harassment, abuse, or spam), but it effectively became permanent or long-term, as the account never returned to active posting. No public reinstatement occurred, and the handle remains inactive/suspended to this day (as confirmed in prior checks and Wikidata records noting the end cause as “account suspension”).
- Context and timing: This happened amid broader Twitter enforcement waves in late 2017:
- Twitter was cracking down on abusive behavior, hate speech, and coordinated harassment.
- In December 2017 (starting around December 18), Twitter implemented a policy update to ban accounts affiliated with hate groups or promoting violence, leading to what some on the right called the “#TwitterPurge” (suspending various far-right, alt-right, or nationalist figures/accounts).
- While Vox Day’s suspension predates that exact December rollout by about a month, it aligned with increased scrutiny of controversial right-wing voices. Contemporary X posts from users in November/December 2017 referenced his ban as part of ongoing deplatforming of conservatives/nationalists, with some speculating mass reports or targeted complaints led to it (e.g., one user claimed a specific person “reported” him, though unverified).
- No official detailed reason from Twitter: Twitter (pre-Musk) rarely provided public specifics for individual suspensions beyond generic policy links. Vox Day described the process as unhelpful, with no cited violations or remediation steps offered.
- Aftermath: The suspension contributed to his shift away from Twitter as a primary platform. He continued activity via his blog, YouTube (Darkstream), and other channels. The account has stayed suspended/permanently restricted ever since, with no evidence of reinstatement even after policy changes under Elon Musk (unlike some other high-profile cases).
This fits the pattern of many 2017 suspensions for figures labeled as alt-right or controversial by critics, often without transparent explanations from the platform at the time. If you’re looking for the original blog post screenshot or more on appeals, the Vox Popoli archive from November 9, 2017, remains the primary firsthand source.
