Dear Twitter & Jack Dorsey: Screw your automated account suspensions, censorship & pseudo appeal system.

I live in a country with an unstable government rife with corruption etc and Twitter has been indispensable in allowing me to stay in touch with journalists and my friends around the world.

However, my account got permanently banned because I quoted the movie "Tropic Thunder" and used the word "R*tard" in a casual, friendly, everyday insult that Twitter is known for.

(*I assume Twitters policy against hate speech against folks with disabilities got triggered in their automated systems)

Hell, I've been on the receiving end of much worse insults on Twitter for a long time, and that's one of the reasons why I loved Twitter because anyone can say (virtually) anything to anyone and I can always unfollow or block someone if they're out of control.

Anyway...

I tried to appeal and get my account unsuspended for 3 months straight and their soulless black hole of an appeal system (rife with "we really don't give a shit about your appeal, but here's a clichรฉd, automated email that hopefully gives you the opposite impression" emails) have been useless.

I even sent these guys multiple physical letters to their HQ apologizing for my mistake in the hopes of getting my account unsuspended.

No luck.

Meanwhile, I can see LIVE tweets from other people (including politicians) right now that are literally encouraging ethnic cleansing in addition to far worse violations than mine.

You might be thinking Jack Dorsey is a swell guy because he finally banned Trump, but the truth is, it took Jack 4 years and 5 people getting murdered at the Capitol to ban his account.

During those 4 years Jack didn't do jack sh$t because he along with Twitter benefited from Trump causing chaos and drawing attention/traffic to the platform.

It literally took MURDER for them to ban his account and I got banned for a violation 1000x less.

To be clear, I'm cool with rules if they applied to everyone equally - but that's certainly not the case in a hypocritical organization like Twitter.

Twitter uses a lot of different clever technical ways to detect anyone who creates duplicate accounts to circumvent their suspensions, so I have no interest in going that route.

So, Screw Twitter.

Screw Jack Dorsey.

...and screw all of you snowflakes at #Twitter that enable this type of nonsense #censorship and giving the false impression that you have a "democratic" appeal system that sends all appeals to /dev/null.

I hope you turn into the MySpace of microblogging and implode๐Ÿ–•

      OP
      It takes a special type of narcissist like yourself to spend your time commenting on a post that you aren't interested in as if I care, and let's be honest here, you DID read this post. Drop the posturing and GTFO and go watch your anime if you have nothing of value to add.

      You've clearly never attempted to bypass Twitter suspensions. Your solutions are as hackneyed as your insults. Thanks for nothing โค

      OP, I have a throw away number with T-Mobile; I only pay $10 annually for 100 minutes. Maybe something like that would work for you.

  • Lol welcome to social media at scale. Nobody is reading your appeals. Your best bet is to find a Twitter employee and convince them to put in a ticket for you.
