Shadow banned on Twitter :(

by AshiWolf

What the actual fuck?!

I've been "shadow banned" on Twitter, but who knows why? I wasn't violating any rules that I'm aware of. My guess is that it was something to do with the way the Twitter API is implemented on the YouTube website. YouTube would automatically send a tweet for each video I liked. Perhaps it has something to do with that? I don't know...oh well...now no one will know what videos I like on YouTube...Sad day :P. Hopefully it will get resolved and my account can go back to normal (minus the liked videos, I guess). I don't want to lose my @AshitakaWolf Twitter handle....

Shadow bans are extremely dumb, btw. If you're going to ban someone for something, ban them and tell them why. Banning where the user doesn't even know they are banned is just a little bit messed up.

It can happen lately if you've said "Thank you". For some reason the Twitter algorithm hates people thanking each other.

That’s dumb. The whole concept of the shadow ban is dumb, really.

True, agreed and totally correct. It's downright stupid. Like you said. Getting banned and not being told why will not make me change my behavior or make me fix what I did wrong.

For now. I'd contact Twitter and ask them to undo this retardation.

But I assume you're well underway with that.

Yeah. Their support isn't super helpful, though. They don't actually acknowledge that they even do shadow bans... =\
