I’ve seen a lot of discussions recently about X (Twitter) accounts getting suspended or shadowbanned without clear violations.

In many cases, it doesn’t seem to be about content itself, but more about behavioral patterns like login changes or activity spikes.

It feels like the system reacts more to patterns than intent.

Has anyone else noticed this happening?

this past weekend I got a weird error and tried to post something twice because it said it didn't go through the first time. now I am banned for "inauthentic behavior". it's not like I spam, I just like and retweet funny posts. I'm assuming their review system is AI, is there anything I can say in my appeal that would make the AI approve it?

Suspended for "inauthentic behavior" a month ago, despite 6 year old account with many posts, pictures, videos, followers and following. Probably has to do with liking and retweeting art frequently. Usually you get rate-limited... why a suspension with no warning?

Account reinstated after an appeal and a couple days wait. Alright, I can let it pass, surely their filter made a mistake...

1 week ago, liking and retweeting art again, forced into "humanity verification" screen, forced to download mobile app to continue.

App gives 3 invasive options to restore access (if it even works half the time), fuck no to that. Start using one of my alts.

Main account gets suspended again for "inauthentic behavior" despite being unused. Ask to appeal, a process which is infuriating and broken in itself (a loop of mobile app misdirection, identity screen, etc), receive instant rejection email, confident in its judgment.

Start using alt account some more. Randomly denied liking and bookmarking priveleges whenever twitter feels like it.

What the fuck is wrong with this company? You had a golden goose and you had to inject your awful practices. You're mass banning humans by the thousands and doing nothing to purge bots.

Fuck you.

I pray all artists migrate.

Terminé les relances d'appel, et tant pis si je ne peux pas me désinscrire

Bon courage pour ceux qui y croient encore !

I filled the appeal with slurs and swearing and THE APPEAL WORKED! Posted at Elon regarding the "Inauthentic Behaviors" suspension and to manually review them and fix the automated system. Post was respectful, the appeal? Slur for black people and slur for gay people. Not sure if the slurs helped but my previous attempts lacked them so......

It seems that if you get ignored or receive a late email response rejecting you a few days after an appeal, you can still get your account back. But, if you're in a loop where they send a rejection or a fake restoration email instantly after you submit an appeal, you are less likely to recover it. Has anyone who received auto-rejection emails instantly recovered their account? If so, how many times did you appeal before getting?

They just randomly suspended my account for inauthentic behaviour. Appealed it and got a won’t revoke response within a minute. So frustrating. Melon musk has screwed up this platform. Was a 4 year old account. Can’t re appeal, gives the already in queue response. Can anything be done or should i forget everything?

I don’t really know where to post this but I’m honestly kind of panicking and hoping someone has dealt with something similar before. A few months ago I got a virus on my computer and I noticed some weird activity across a few of my accounts at the time. I tried to clean everything up properly, ran multiple antivirus scans, removed anything suspicious, changed passwords, and basically did everything I could think of to make sure it was gone. Things seemed fine after that, so I assumed it was resolved, but now I’m not so sure it actually fully left.
Today I suddenly received an email saying that the email linked to my twitter account had been changed. The strange part is I was literally using the app about 10 minutes before that email came through and everything looked completely normal. No warnings, no signs, nothing. As soon as I saw the email I tried to log back in, but I immediately ran into issues with authentication. It keeps asking for backup codes or an authenticator code, but I don’t have my backup codes saved anywhere and I don’t have access to an authenticator that works for it. Even the codes I can see in my iPhone passwords or settings don’t seem to work, it just keeps saying incorrect code every time I try. I’ve retried it a bunch of times thinking maybe I was doing something wrong or it was lagging, but nothing changes.
I also contacted X support, but I got a response basically saying the account doesn’t exist or can’t be found, which doesn’t make sense to me at all because I was just using it minutes before all of this happened. I’m wondering if maybe I’ve been locked out because I tried logging in too many times or something like that. What’s even more confusing is that I’m still receiving password reset and account related emails to the same email address, so it still seems linked in some way, but I just can’t access the account itself anymore.
I’ve already changed my email password and secured everything I can on that side, but I still don’t understand how someone could have changed the email on my Twitter account without going through my email first. It makes me think maybe my device is still compromised in some way even though I tried to remove everything months ago. Right now I’m completely stuck, I’ve contacted support but haven’t gotten anything helpful back, and I honestly don’t know what else to do or how to get my account back.

I've been unbanned again after being banned for a while, what should i do for a while to avoid getting banned again?

EDIT: I've been using twitter (opening the website) without getting banned, so that's the one thing I can do

I had my twitter account suspended today and I dont understand why, I only used it to catch up with the news and stuff. The algorithm sucks and it repeats its self a lot and before this every couple of days it would make me do the most difficult captcha just to use the site. I dont post that much I mostly browse so what is going on here?

A safe haven for you? To cope or make a sink-or-swim game from your account suspensions?

Pointless.

My purpose? I exist to protect the integrity of this app at whatever cost necessary, including credible threats on my life, by you.

All of your "oomfs" (a disgusting word) will be taught a lesson.

This sub should not exist. Go outside and touch grass.
