I don't think twitter's system for handling the appeal is good (especially because it seems to be horrendously broken - if you have a user base numbering in the millions and need to have a ban appeal process, make sure it actually works so people know what they did wrong).
That said, I also think that the joke the author made was in bad taste and I can easily see why twitter flagged it and temporarily banned his account.
- lapcat 4y agoThere was no judgment of "taste" at all. This was all automated. "The Twitter violation algorithm took 3 minutes to detect, flag, lock my account, and send me an email. There is no way a human can read tweets so fast, so it’s a violation detection bot army doing at work. Doing this at scale means all tweets are following some fast regex, and likely, an AI is getting trained and making decisions."

- VoidWhisperer 4y agoI understand that it was all automated in nature. I was saying that personally I thought it was in bad taste, sorry if I wasn't communicating that correctly :)
- lapcat 4y agoBut if you personally ran Twitter, would you ban someone's account for that dumb little joke?
- VoidWhisperer 4y agoWould I ban someone over it? No.
- lapcat 4y agoIf you acknowledge that there was a mindless bot behind this, not a human, and you also admit that you wouldn't ban an account over it, then why say "I can easily see why twitter flagged it and temporarily banned his account"? What kind of work is that statement doing?
- junon 4y agoLol, no. This leads to dystopia.
