Welcome to the Kafkaesque world of automated enforcement.

> "The Trial" by Franz Kafka is a novel written in 1914 and 1915. It follows Josef K., a bank clerk who is arrested and prosecuted by a mysterious, unreachable authority. Neither he nor the reader ever learns what crime he has committed. As Josef navigates an absurd legal system filled with bizarre encounters and inexplicable procedures, his case consumes his life while remaining perpetually unresolved. The novel, never completed by Kafka, was published posthumously in 1925.

Posting a link could be considered aggressive behavior. I feel much safer knowing AI is the new judge, jury, and executioner of the public square of the internet.
My 9 y/o account on Reddit was shadow banned because I shared a URL of my app in subs specifically aimed at sharing apps/side-projects. No warning, no explanation. It was just an execution-style ban. It seems that the social media giants want the audience to feel as if a sword of damocleis is constantly hanging over them. One step out of the line that no one says you nothing about, and you are executed.
If that's all you'd posted recently, the problem is not likely to be the content you posted. The most likely thing that happened is that you shared an IP address (eg a VPN exit node, or a device with malware on your wifi network) with someone who was banned for good reasons, and got caught in the crossfire.
Sorry to hear it. But perhaps your life will be better off without Xitter?
My Claude AI account got suspended with zero response to my appeal request (despite the promise of 10 days) and even their backup download features doesn’t not work!
An empty “specifically” field is the clearest failure here—you can’t ask someone to remedy a violation while withholding the rule, evidence, and any path to human review.
