My Thoughts About Twitter/x Pt 5

I have inquired once again about the suspension of my account. Prior to learning this, I had not been on the platform since the 25 of Feb. That was over two weeks ago. How was I “breaking any rules” whenever I wasn't even present on the platform? Furthermore, I know that just days ago, my account was not suspended only because I had gotten email notifications, but I had not been on the platform as I was busy working on several projects during that time. As soon as I tried to get into my account yesterday morning, on March 14, it showed that my account was suspended. I had not even done anything whatsoever to merit this.

My Thoughts About Twitter/X Part 2

As of today, March 14, 2024, I just learned that my Twitter/x account had been suspended for reasons unknown. I haven't even been on twitter/X for days, and when I do finally come back onto the platform, I find this out. I did absolutely nothing wrong, yet, I come back to this. I had not been on any social media platforms for the past several days as I was working hard on various projects. I'm at a loss and I feel that this confirms the fact that no matter what I do, I get penalized. I get penalized when I post. I get penalized when I don't post. I even get penalized when I haven't even been on the platform.

My Thoughts About Twitter/x Pt 4

The more I think about this situation and the more I investigate this matter, the more I realize that I had done absolutely NOTHING WRONG. Up until this point, I had not even been on the platform since February 25th. That was MORE THAN TWO WEEKS AGO, therefore, there was no way whatsoever I was doing anything to merit this. I have NEVER done anything harmful while on the platform. I am not a bot. I do not spread or promote hate. I try to be respectful to others and I've tried to do the best I could at showing fellow creatives, friends, and followers support. The fact that my account was suspended while I wasn't even on the platform upsets me even more. I should be able to share and promote my work, seeing as that is a huge part of who I am. I've noticed that some can get by with doing pretty much anything while others get penalized for stupid reasons. Having the blue check mark doesn't make people "better" or more "relevant" than others. No, it just displays all the more how this so-called "free speech" isn't really free at all.

My Thoughts About Twitter/x Part 3

Up until today, I have not even been on the platform, and when I do finally try to get into my account, I find that I've been suspended. I find this to be highly unfair, and I feel like I'm being personally attacked as an author, a game developer, and as an individual. I see many people promote their work on the platform, yet they don't get penalized. I, on the other hand, have gotten penalized for it. I've also gotten penalized for supporting fellow creatives and other followers which is also unfair. I AM NOT A BOT! How many times must I stress that? Just because I don't have the blue checkmark, doesn't mean that I'm not real. Furthermore, I find it to be highly frustrating that I've been getting penalized needlessly for just being me. They claim that they want to crack down on bot accounts, yet you allow girl bot accounts to be promoted, just because they have their precious blue checkmark. Where's the logic in that? I couldn't even do an ad promotion for my holiday themed book because it was supposedly not eligible. There was absolutely NOTHING offensive whatsoever in the book, it was a wholesome, family-friendly holiday themed book. I couldn't promote it, yet an inappropriate book, a girl bot account, and filthy, disgusting only fans could be promoted. This is completely unfair, seeing as being an author is a huge part of who I am. I'm getting penalized for being me. Furthermore, I as I stated earlier, I have not even been on the platform for several days because I was busy working other things. I find it to be a whole new low when a person is being penalized when they haven't even been on the platform. It's unfortunate that I feel like nothing will be done and I will go on being ignored just because I'm not "big and popular." It's also disappointing that it's gotten to this point. I once thought that twitter/x was a place where I could share my work and just be me, but apparently, I was wrong.
