Ask HN: X/Twitter account suspended – any tips?

3 points by oger 2y ago ↗ HN

My Twitter / X account got suspended today without further explanation. I am 100% sure that I did not do anything outside their ToS. The appeal was immediately rejected (mail pretty much arrived after I pressed the send button on their website).

What are my options? Is their AI going awry? Anyone around with connections that could be helpful?

Why not start a new account? See:

Escalate the issue and @mention Twitter employees. Hopefully someone will listen. You will have to create a new account to do this. Sometimes Twitter over-moderates and something triggered a false positive. Twitter has re-instated many old suspended accounts already, and hopefully they'll do that for you too.
