Nice 😂

My Twitter account just got suspended for promoting self-harm or suicide.

Since I only tweet about software development, I was quite surprised and appealed the decision.

As it turns out, the bone of contention was a tweet replying to someone stating that C++ was the best language around:

So that is what happens if your software team thinks it's a great idea to filter all tweets for stopwords like "shoot yourself" ðŸĪŠ

...and automatically ban people based on that.

@lupinitylabs Twitter's going great! /s
@brbcoding As it turned out, it's not a bug, it's a feature:

@brbcoding I mean, ok - English is not my native tongue. But if it's in the Cambridge Dictionary...

So if I had quoted the sentence from Collins Dictionary, would the FBI arrest me for having threatened the (future) president?

I'm really lost for words 😂
