you're absolutely right. This is a good practice, and really only effective over time, usage, and history of the pgp key. Extra important for new accounts to sign certain messages to help piece together a consistent history. I posted a signed message here, with some cross references: nostr:nevent1...

OK. She looks dead behind the eyes. Ross should seek her out and demand she publicly apologizes to him... On video... In front of the world... And she must show absolute contrition while doing so, for doing that to him. It's a public service for all of us, that when a judge abuses somebody's fre...

sounds right. I don't think Twitter ever had sufficient human moderation staff, and excessive automated bans and the lack of "due process" has always been an issue. maybe it got worse since Elon took leadership.

yes, this is one of the main reasons we should move to permissionless platforms, and Nostr is very promising. as for Yakihonne, I tried it, but had to give up (I kept getting 99+ ghost notifications).

They keep releasing updates, it seems fine now, just fixed a couple of problems yesterday.

even if it was more, don't be embarrassed—you were just emotionally triggered, then later came to see it, and wanted to correct it. that's just... human, and it's rather that the algorithm isn't in tune with human behavior. BTW, ancient instincts are very healthy ;)
not being a saint? hmm, I have no idea what you're talking about, at all ;)) I did suspect that those people would try to strike back at you, but not that they would be successful. so yeah, maybe it was a combination of factors.
the way I see, it's rather that large centralized platforms can create weird incentives... plus assholes and scammers hurt everyone, so the damage is dispersed. on the other hand, a "good human" is a danger only to the asshole minority, who are quite good at self-preservation and teaming up against threats...

lol, it's basic probability: the more games you're playing (simultaneously!), the higher the chance to lose at least once ;) My world keeps trying to prove that they are not a minority... + cats are not particularly good at teaming up too :)

that's one wild adventure and retribution, all because of a few dozen copy-paste tweets (I remember, it was 30-40 tops)... whew. I'm sorry you had to go through all this.

not to strengthen the Monero Martyr meme (lol, you gave me a visual idea... Joan of XMaRc :)), but I'm still not sure it's your fault. it could be that you just found something that fits the bill. really, can this scale of activity result in a *full ban* (especially for a good-standing, Premium-paying account like yours)? there should be warnings and rate limits way before a user gets near the danger zone. see my now-daily Twitter experience after I dared to mention Substack once:





even then, you should only get a warning and some cool-down period. your treatment was as proportionate as burning someone at the stake for jaywalking :)

it's funny how there's a parallel, both border control and centralized social media can refer to vague rules and arbitrarily subject you their whims, locking you up, interrogating you, seizing your person and your property... one in the physical, the other in the digital. so disgusting.

I have a guess as to why this happened: parties interested in Monero failing were quite active in that time period. I wouldn't be be surprised if they had mass reported major Monero-related accounts and managed to trigger Twitter's automatic restrictions. I remember someone else getting the soft ban around the same time.

having multiple accounts is against the "authenticity" rules only if they are used to manipulate metrics, especially each other's metrics. separate accounts for personal projects and businesses are explicitly allowed, so there's a pretty strong argument that it's authentic use.

Just to mention, AilliA is my only personal account online (that's why I'm so upset - I invested too much soul in it), but I have other accts (some multitudes bigger, lol) on different platforms related to some specific (and more serious) topics, so I more or less know the rules and how to play this...

okay, this is absolutely fucking ridiculous. first a soft ban, now wiping your profile just like that? free speech platform my ass, Twitter/X is a digital authoritarian regime. it's always been, and, as long as it remains a centralized silo, it always will be.

I wonder if your "inauthentic behavior" was educating people, helping everyone who reached out to you, bringing loads of engagement to the site, providing top-notch content, or appealing a ban that was unjust to begin with...

She was banned because she doesn't like to lick the government boots when she's told to.

thanks, lol, first I just hope to make it work for myself, we'll see about making the world a better place later :)
I'm so sorry you had to go through that, giving up the safety of your devices, realizing there's none. yeah, you have to draw the opsec line somewhere, not worry further and just live life while you still can, because it's a limited time here... don't die just yet though ;)
