📰 Why I Quit X: The Real Story

By Senator Papahatziharalambrous – Founder of “The Takin Thepiss Digital Pub”

G’day punters,

After ten long years of fighting censorship, shadowbans, outright bans, limitation of reach and the algorithmic tide — I finally pulled the plug.

No more Twitter. No more Facebook. No more YouTube. No more Instagram.

All gone. Deleted. Deactivated. Finished.

Not because I gave up — but because I refuse to play a rigged game.

💀 The Death of Real Social Media

What started as a place for everyday Aussies to have a laugh, share a thought, and take the piss…

has become a sterilised, censored, soy-flavoured echo chamber for approved opinions.

If you’re a Christian, a conservative, a comedian, a truth-teller, or just a free thinker — you’re throttled, shadow-banned, or nuked into digital oblivion.

Meanwhile, the bots run wild, the algorithms bury your voice, and your own government cheers from the sidelines while pretending to care about “safety.”

For a decade, I fought that system.

Over 225 songs, 619 original designs, 665 articles, and 2,500+ satirical videos later — my reach was smaller than a cold pie at a servo.

You can’t call it “social media” anymore.

It’s social control — wrapped in hashtags.

🍺 The Rebirth: The Takin Thepiss Digital Pub

But here’s the good news, mates — I’m not leaving the conversation.

I’m just moving it home.

Welcome to The Takin Thepiss Digital Pub — my new base on Payhip, where you can still do all the things that made the old internet great:

Watch videos
Browse memes
Read articles
Download music, books, and designs
And most importantly — comment freely

No censorship.

No shadow bans.

No digital ID

No “fact-checkers” working for Big Brother.

Just real people having a real yarn.

💬 The Front Bar Banter — The New Comment Wall

On the new site, you’ll find something I’m bloody proud of:

The Front Bar Banter — our new free speech comment wall.

Think of it like the local pub noticeboard:

You scroll through my latest posts and piss-takes
You throw your two cents in the chat below
You have a laugh with other punters
You walk out feeling lighter, freer, and maybe a bit cheekier

No bots.

No blue ticks.

No Digital ID.

No corporate overlords pulling strings behind the scenes.

Just you, me, and the good ol’ Aussie tradition of taking the piss out of power.

🔥 What’s Coming

This isn’t just a page — it’s a movement.

🦘 The Aussie Internet, Reclaimed

They thought they could silence the working-class larrikin.

They thought the algorithm could kill humour.

They thought Christians, patriots, and real Aussies would just fade away quietly.

Wrong.

We’re just moving pubs, mate.

The conversation hasn’t ended — it’s just come home.

🍻 Come In, Pull Up a Stool
