I try to avoid moaning too much on Twitter, but I've been suspended, so I'm going to moan about Twitter here. A few days ago I got a message that I'd been suspended. The last thing I tweeted was to retweet this picture:
It's not so straightforward though. As well as telling me I was suspended it also said I could subscribe. Sometimes I can see my old tweets, sometimes I can't. Sometimes I can see people I follow, even though it says I am following no-one, sometimes not.
What could I have done? I have several theories:
- I liked a post I shouldn't have. As I can't get at my likes I can't check this.
- My bio ("I ride tandem...") somehow breaks the rules.
- I mentioned my mastodon id.
- I called it Twitter and not X.
I've tried asking for a review, but as soon as I fill in the form I get a reply seconds later saying that they're not going to re-instate me. I do have a second twitter account that I set up, so I can still use that. It shows that it's probably worth creating a second account just in case you get banned in future.

Why people still use Twitter to refer to X. Tell me why, Paul.
Because X is a letter and it's not always clear whether people are talking about the letter or the social media platform.
