Twitter Locked (My?) Account

avatar
(Edited)

twitter blocked me.png

Yes, you read that right. Twitter locked my account and it was based on an assumption that I broke their rules, but more than likely they have someone who absolutely doesn't know American culture much less someone who is classified a minority being a Hispanic American who was born and raised in the ghettos of Brooklyn, New York.

Let me preface this, that thankfully I am on HIVE and that I OWN MY HIVE ACCOUNT and am aware that any of the off chain social media platforms like Twitter are actually the problem, but with that said I don't own my Twitter account. That is a fact.

But on HIVE, I own my account, my community, my videos and my voice. I know all this.

Honestly, there is no doubt they have some sort of algorithm that tracks trigger words and I'm sure that this specific word is what immediately red flagged my account.

Right off the bat, what are my mistakes?

Allowing any entity or person have power over me. I'm pissed off. Why?

Because it's a matter of principle, that is all.

So here it goes. It's so fucking funny, that I can't help laughing.

Ok, are you ready.

Mistake number one is following athletes or anyone who doesn't really make any difference in my HIVE life on what I use for my HIVE Twitter engagement account.

I followed this athlete for multiple reasons and one for being a former Dallas Cowboy, the dude is cool as heck and he was into NFT's.

I actually don't believe he had anything to do with the account being locked as the guy probably gets thousands of tweets a minute and he surely would not have seen my tweet at all.

So yesterday, Dez Bryant posted something about he wanted to start a podcast and that he needs a co-host. Ok, so follow me on this. Dez Bryant is a former Dallas Cowboy who happens to be my favorite NFL team and Tony Romo who is one of the most popular Dallas Cowboy ever was the quarterback of the Cowboys when Dez was a wide receiver for them.

He loves Tony. They are very close and were great teammates. One of the best QB to WR tandems ever, in my opinion.

Anyway, so Dez tweeted that and I tweeted back:

"Get @ Tony Romo to hang for a few 👌"

So, the stupidity of the Twitter algorithm I am going to assume red flagged me for the word hang and because Dez is black.

The insinuation that I would even think that way by using the word hang in any other context than "hang out" in that situation is insulting.

Are you fucking kidding me?

It has gotten to that?

Do you know that Tommy Lee was rotating dick pics on social media and that's ok?

Again, it's a waste of energy to figure out why we have become such a meek society.

At the end of the day, I believe that Twitter violated me; because they have insulted me and my culture.

My relationship with other minorities go beyond respectful as I expect to be respected in kind.

I understand the algorithmic bullshit, but every entity should ask first before penalizing automatically.

Anyway, supposedly I'll get my account activated later today. I actually don't believe that. I'm sure they will drag it out.

At the end of the day, there will come the day where those long standing social media platforms will go by way of MySpace and with LEOThreads and all the other wonderful TRUE Web3 platforms available to us on this blockchain - why stress it.

Try to diverse all the tags you use ;) or sometimes tweet without or less tags

@doze I don’t believe it had anything to do with tags. It was because, Dez Bryant is black and I used the word hang in the tweet, so they see that as a racist tweet.

Of course I meant as “hang out” like spend time with. That is a slang that should be simple to know, but the algorithm will see it otherwise. That is very idiotic, because I’m Latino far from racist lol.

But I don’t mind cutting back on tags. I keep it 5 on leothreads and we are allowed 10 on HIVE posts, so cutting it to 5 or less on Twitter wouldn’t hurt me either way.

I’ll do that when I get to use the account again. I have another account for my personal anyway lol.

Thanks for the suggestion.

If that's the reason, then Twitter sucks... If you still want to use it make yourself a fresh new accountg.

@acesontop - I already have another one, but won’t use it for HIVE tweeting.

I’ll wait and see if I get access back to the account and if I have to create yet another account I will, but that would make it that Twitter is that important and in the end they really aren’t.

Thank You for the tip.

Go HIVE! 💪🏽🐝

Sorry to hear this Jimmy, I only use Twitter to promote my posts on Hive, and as you said we all own our accounts here which makes a world of difference, have an awesome Friday and weekend.

That is just crazy, Jimmy.
I have not been on Twitter for a while. I only joined so I could get the entertaining tweets from Trump.
We just need to wait until Leo Threads is ready for prime time.

Yup John.

The bothersome part of it is being penalized for an erroneous reason especially by idiots who don’t understand the difference between an attack and just plain old slang. It’s an algorithmic red flag of one word instead of looking at its context.

I'm with you Jimmy, so annoying! Twitter's handy, but full of miserable naysayers (lol) and the algorithm locked your account, it had better "go by way of MySpace" as you say!

I'm only using Twitter because of Hive, otherwise, I wouldn't be there at all! 😎 I wanted to reply here with some swear words toward them, but why waste the energy... I hope they realize how stupid they can be and you'll get your account back soon!

Twitter is crazy in the way it flags accounts. It's going to be a pain for you to appeal that ban. I hope you get unbanned soon.

Hey @jfang003

Hope all is well!

It was a 10 hour punishment. I’m back in.

It was my first violation. A bullshit one.

Geez, Jimmy! Indeed another reason to be grateful is that our accounts on the blockchain are our own. Even though I still used those platforms their arbitrary rules are a pain in the rear. Because they keep changing them. It's a moving target. Hope they don't drag it out on you.

That's really bad. I knew a few people who have problems with twitter now. I got temporary banned in FB for posting things the fact checkers there didn't like. You are not allowed to write what you want. Good bye freedom of speech and nobody want to hear the truth anymore. You'll get even blamed for the truth.

It will only get worse, but absolutely lucky to have HIVE on our side 🙏🏼

The lockout was for 10 hours, so I guess they realized how stupid it was.

Wow that sucks but I read more of these stories.. sometimes it only takes one person to report someone I guess, and once on the radar these people love to see getting the ones reported get a permaban.. It's stupid as so many things are allowed that should not be, but ok, who am I to judge lol..

It was a 10 hour ban, but nevertheless it made me feel shitty, because I’m nowhere near the type of person to racially attack a person. To use one word and because the person is of a certain ethnicity and flag it as such, is more egregious than the tweet itself.
