Strange you say that. I’m six months into my pseudonymous account and they haven’t tried to extort my phone number. It’s like they know from my behavior that I don’t want to be doxxed by Twitter Inc. I signed up using a VPN and a weird email address, and used an AD blocker.
- busymom0 4y agoDo they shadowban such accounts? Are you aware if your posts and comments are visible to others?
- lysergia 4y agoI checked. I have a few alt accounts and all my tweets and interactions are visible when I visit my profile.
- busymom0 4y agoAnd this is even when you visit the post (from someone else) which you reply to while being signed out of your account and your IP address? Most shadow banning show the posts if visited via the profile but are invisible if viewed as replies to someone else's post or while signed out and using different IP address. Might be worth checking. Not asserting that this is the case with Twitter though.
- winternett 4y agoThere are many different levels of shadowban apparently. You can be excluded from being able to trend, or gain followers, or to have post visibility at all based on what I've observed. It mainly gets triggered by complaining about Twitter or a favored sponsor... Twitter considers those things censorable, but not upsetting violence and shocking pr0n for some strange reason... ugh.
- nullc 4y agoI think your experience is irregular. A while back I was forced to create an account just to report an impersonator and they insta-suspended it for "suspicious behavior" until I provided a phone number. I asked around and heard uniformly "oh yea, twitter does that".
