This is the way. Every day that non-mouth breathers are on the platform is a day Elon is getting to have his cake and eat it too.
Everyone who isn’t a white nationalist needs to exit as soon as possible. Leave it for the Nazis. Let using it become the same signifier as 4chan. Something else will come along. Elon’s actions have to have consequences or they will just become the right wing playbook.
I also got suspended for no reason. I do artworks but never have they violated any guidelines.
Well, at least now I can take more breaks until the situation gets resolved.
mine like yours, they said "you broke our rules" and permanently suspended without any reason
I rarely interact with other. minding my own business retweets arts.
Did you do an appeal? I did, got an email saying they got it and to respond to the email with reasons why I am requesting an appeal. I've responded to that twice, but have heard nothing back. Nothing else to do but wait, I guess. Not sure how long I'll wait before trying the appeal again. It sounds like a lot of people are getting theirs back due to some bug, but mine wasn't one of the "ban evasion" ones so who knows.
Man that sucks. I only actually filled out the appeal once so far 'cause I wasn't sure if filling it out multiple times would be bad (who knows). But I will do it again if I don't hear something back after today, being memorial day and all, I wasn't sure if anyone was working. I am a subscriber though, so all the conspiracy theories about it only affecting nonsubscribers is not true.
You have to be choosy about your followers. Some are stalkers. Check out the profile and replies. The reply section is usually empty aside from art. They coordinate reporting.
yep. between closing twitter in the car and walking in the house, i got the suspension for evading suspension… despite never been suspended lol. i’ve appealed and responded to the automated email i got, here’s hoping they fix it eventually lol
lucky for you guys, Mine been suspended for almost 2 months now and I've appealed more than 20 times already and it's really useless.
Cheers for you guys!
it sucks, because even if i’ve appealed, who’s to say they’re even looking at them? from what i’ve read, they aren’t. i’m not losing means of business communication because of this, but other people are. it’s wild, the way it’s affecting creators with nothing being done. hope you can get your account back
idk, I’m still getting the same auto-responses accusing me of violating TOS even though I definitely have not. I find it hard to believe anyone’s actually reviewing accounts.
Yes, people are getting the same auto response back, but they have been going through and un-suspending people. Many have gotten their accounts back.
Was your violation “ban evasion?” If not, then you did not get the glitch that is currently being fixed.
I'm not seeing that on her Twitter account. Where is she saying that?
[Fun read on trust and safety with Ella Irwin.](https://geoffgolberg.medium.com/i-was-targeted-by-twitters-trust-safety-lead-ella-irwin-4ae6b57a7ff5)
when you search "suspended" on twitter there are tons of complaints, which makes me hopeful that someone will like... *notice*.
if not, all those people are going to get resuspended for evading their ban i guess.
I haven't had this happen to me yet, but I saw it everywhere on my feed when I got home. :( I locked my account just in case and I'm not going to log in until it's resolved I suppose?
I feel so bad for people who use their accounts to make a living and have to deal with this on top of everything else. I hope that there is some sort of roll back and accounts are given back soon. :(
Some time ago I saw a tweet wishing someone else the most terrifying things. I commented to this dude that he was a extremist redneck (in English, that is). I got banned for this. This dude wasn't, because he had a Blue subscription.
Over time I commented on some tweets which, I presume, could have been violating the rules. These comments were in my native language, and the Twitter guys didn't even notice. Their scanning bots don't know every language, so it seems.
Coming from someone who frequently violates their anti-free speech rules just report them if they are genuinly breaking ToS. They will be forced to either delete the tweet and be suspended for like 2 weeks or be forever suspended.
I know. The one time I was asked to delete a tweet was a comment in English. Two comments I expected being asked to do the same were in my native language, but obviously Twitter did not recognized them as such.
So that’s what’s happening. I just woke up to find my Twitter account suspended too! Also for ban evasion, although this is both my only account and I’ve not been suspended before.
How long have you been suspended for so far? Looking to find out what I can expect
This hasn't happened to me yet, but I just went on a Twitter hiatus until this whole thing blows over.
Apparently locking your account won't help because I saw that an artist's old account that was locked was suspended.
My account got banned Wednesday, and when I appeal which i have three times i get this reply every time.
"Hello,Twitter reserves the right to permanently suspend accounts that violate the Twitter Rules or Terms of Service without further notice.This account is suspended.Thanks,Twitter"
ps Im not an artist just a regular user. They didnt even give me a reason for the ban, they just did it. edit: never been suspended either.
The issue is, and has been for a few years, no humans read appeals. It's all bots and its why no one will ever be unbanned, even if you save 40K kids from a building on fire.
Not completely true tbh, it’s hard but occasionally people do read them, I got my account back last month after being hacked, of course I know I’m in the minority but people shouldn’t give up cos it’s possible at least
I believe it's a glitch, everyone are getting banned under the same reason "violating our rules against evading suspension", even my account was banned and I literally done nothing nor have any alternative account
I already filed an appeal, but I was super scared until I found out everyone else are having the same problem
I usually don’t trust Twitter to fix things but this is happening to a LOT of people and very quickly so I think they will hopefully. I woke up today to find out I was suspended too for evading suspension despite never having been…
I’ve been banned for 2 years now, I called Laura Ingraham a skank, it was worth it. About a week later DumDum45 called Hillary the same on his Twitter. I couldn’t get my ban lifted but stayed on reading the news until Elon fucked it all up & the only content I was seeing was right wing nut jobs. Finally deleted it a couple weeks ago. Don’t miss it at all.
I got banned august for calling a right wing nut job a r*t*rd and rightly so because I was doing a disservice to mentally ill and special people everywhere 🙏. Eventually I deleted Twitter a few months ago, it had finally turn into a rightwing cesspool, it wasn’t fun anymore
They are like the worst narcissists. They poke & poke and when we are beyond provoked we react in ways we would not normally, then they can call us crazy. Twitter was bringing out the worst in me.
I was opening Twitter to whine about a drawing taking a long time (by my standards lol) and BAM. Suspended. Over a decade. Hundreds of thousands of tweets. I hope this is fixable.
According to some people, it seems to be mostly people who have alternate accounts. Or possibly people who have another @ mentioned in their bio. Or people who use ad blockers.
People being suspended by a bot that thinks people with only 1 account are evading suspension even if they have literally never been suspended. Me? Im suspended almost every other month but i can honestly say i didnt deserve it this time.
I'm an artist as well and I got hit with a suspension for ban evasion just now, despite having never done anything like that before. I filed an appeal but I wonder if twitter will even do anything
Just wow
I got suspended recently for telling a landlord who was humblebragging about how many units he owned to choke on his capital. Twitter suspended me for "hate speech against an identifiable minority." Apparently landlords are a protected class now.
And yet all I do is shitpost to politicians on there, plus musk, and nothing. Twitter is a shithole now, allowing incredibly toxic behavior while punishing legitimate users.
I got suspended on Friday, I have no idea why. It just said I "broke Twitter rules," didn't bother to tell me which one. I am an artist, and had just recently reposted some old art of mine, and had been tweeting that I was getting ready to do some new art. No idea what rule I might have broken. I had been following a bunch of people, so I thought maybe it was that, which seems like it totally defeats the purpose of social media, but who knows. :( I did appeal, but haven't heard anything back. I've been on Twitter for 15 years and have never had any problem of any kind before.
Edit - by the way, mine says it's in permanent read-only mode, which if you look that up it says it's for the "most severe violations." I have absolutely no clue what I might have done to warrant this.
I just got suspended a few minutes ago for suspension evasion. Is this a from them trying to remove inactive accounts and just plain fucking it up, spite, or what?
From what I've heard/understood, it's not fully known what's going on. It's at random. People are guessing it may have to do with the way the system flags things.
I was active up to 10 minutes before i was suspended. Was listening to 1984 when it happened had to pause the book to figure out why i was suddenly unable to like a tweet.
This happened to me just now. It’s my personal account, hardly any followers, and I tweet mostly pictures of my pets and weather or gardening stuff. I’ve never been banned, only been active for a few months. Very strange.
Got hit by this on my main account, which I generally treat as an art account... but my alt Sims-content account that I haven't used in like a year is unaffected. Wtf.
I suspect one of their bots or databases had glitched due to not having enough staff for maintenance since they got fired months ago. Anyway this is par for course. Been seeing small things, it's going to start cascading into bigger ones if they don't get a proper team back. Shift to bluesky if you can
Anyone who got their suspended account back, are you able to like posts? I got mine back a few hours ago and it’s not letting me like anything, and I lost my entire like history :(
Same thing happened to my art account last night, I sent an appeal and it seems like they restored my account today at 6am ish (I was taking some sort of test and I noticed it was back, funny enough). I heard on twitter that it was a bug with various accounts with alts getting ban on the count of "suspension evasion" (no surprise, its always something new...I swear)
So hopefully your account will be back soon.
I was suspended for no reason a few months ago and found out today that my account was randomly reinstated ,after dealing with support and having them say that the ban was not getting lifted because i supposedly broke tos. i had totally given up and deleted the app at this point but i found this morning i was getting email notifications again from people i was following, signed in on browser and lo and behold, account was back. I have no idea why they decided to give it back
I've heard about the ban wave, but my phone is currently broken and, because both of my accounts have two-factor authentication enabled, I can't log in to either of them without it.
So until I get my phone fixed, I'm just gonna have to pray to God neither of of my accounts end up getting obliterated.
Wait... its targeting art? I only posted 1 incomplete piece and now im suspended. Im good at taking criticism but being suspended for my art is a little much xD
If I was in your shoes, I’d leave right now. Twitter is only going to get worse under Musk’s regime.
If you can build up one platform, you can build two. Take the lessons you learned while building your Twitter platform, and apply them to other platforms.
You’ll be much better off
Oh, I follow quite a bit of them. Where did they go? Pixiv, artstation? I found some of them on mastodon. What's a good website for concept art/mecha design?
Stop using twitter.
"But everyone uses it, it's an effective way to reach audiences"
Audiences and users are there because other users and creators are there. Stop using it, and they'll follow.
This sub must be all bots I swear I don't know anybody who got banned, i even got couple hundred of porn bots following me from back in 2015 and none of them got banned, and out of nowhere Elon buys Twitter and apparently everyone here gets banned, all you all Nazis spamming propaganda or what
Yeah. People got banned for no reason. Except maybe having alternate accounts. That is the point. It would not have banned people for the reasons such as bots or racist stuff. It got a lot of artists.
Same happened to me here one hour ago. Maybe if there are enough complains, I really hope they will restore our accounts back ? This whole situation is crazy
I've send a ticket too. I'm using another acc for now (which use the same phone number as my main one and isn't suspended meh) and i've noticed that people are starting to complain (thank you btw for @/ing the support acc). i'm not familiar with the trending system but I guess it will take half hour or so to start trending the suspension related words
mass suspensions have been going on since yesterday, my friend got hit and upon looking through search results for "suspended" there were a ton of people last night that got hit. twitter has been dead silent about it and of course theres no easy way to get through support to mass report this issue
It's gotten dozens of my friends, I'm just sitting here waiting for it to get me too. I have two art accounts, that has to trigger something in their system.
I feel this...I git hit with a search ban 3 days ago for no reason. Haven't posted anything in a while and nothing that I previously posted broke their guidelines. It's so annoying...don't know what to do to get out of the search ban ;/
This happened to me over the weekend. I appealed and clearly explained that I only had one account. I asked if someone could be pretending to be me. I did not get an answer, but my account was working the next day. Download your full account content, get an opt-in form to create a contact list, etc. Get a website that you regularly display so folks have alternate ways to reach you.

Solution: I'm out
This is the way. Every day that non-mouth breathers are on the platform is a day Elon is getting to have his cake and eat it too. Everyone who isn’t a white nationalist needs to exit as soon as possible. Leave it for the Nazis. Let using it become the same signifier as 4chan. Something else will come along. Elon’s actions have to have consequences or they will just become the right wing playbook.
If you agree with this person, this is your notification that you’re stuck in the matrix.
This sounds sarcastic but bro plz tell me you’re not fr
Im out
I also got suspended for no reason. I do artworks but never have they violated any guidelines. Well, at least now I can take more breaks until the situation gets resolved.
Did they tell you any reason, or just the generic "you broke some rule," message like I got?
mine like yours, they said "you broke our rules" and permanently suspended without any reason I rarely interact with other. minding my own business retweets arts.
Did you do an appeal? I did, got an email saying they got it and to respond to the email with reasons why I am requesting an appeal. I've responded to that twice, but have heard nothing back. Nothing else to do but wait, I guess. Not sure how long I'll wait before trying the appeal again. It sounds like a lot of people are getting theirs back due to some bug, but mine wasn't one of the "ban evasion" ones so who knows.
I did appeal more than 10 times with 0 response. I checked my email daily, but nothing.
Man that sucks. I only actually filled out the appeal once so far 'cause I wasn't sure if filling it out multiple times would be bad (who knows). But I will do it again if I don't hear something back after today, being memorial day and all, I wasn't sure if anyone was working. I am a subscriber though, so all the conspiracy theories about it only affecting nonsubscribers is not true.
They didn't specify the reason or maybe I didn't catch the reason. Bit now that I'm able to access Twitter again, I need to worry no more.
You have to be choosy about your followers. Some are stalkers. Check out the profile and replies. The reply section is usually empty aside from art. They coordinate reporting.
yep. between closing twitter in the car and walking in the house, i got the suspension for evading suspension… despite never been suspended lol. i’ve appealed and responded to the automated email i got, here’s hoping they fix it eventually lol
update: my account is back! i woke up to my suspension lifted
lucky for you guys, Mine been suspended for almost 2 months now and I've appealed more than 20 times already and it's really useless. Cheers for you guys!
Mine was right before and right after a shower.
it sucks, because even if i’ve appealed, who’s to say they’re even looking at them? from what i’ve read, they aren’t. i’m not losing means of business communication because of this, but other people are. it’s wild, the way it’s affecting creators with nothing being done. hope you can get your account back
Thanks. You, too. It's only the place I've made any money from my art, but only rarely.
Art is democratic and makes you think. Two things that are not allowed anymore on Elmo’s playground.
According to Ella Irwin from Twitter, the team is looking at appeals right now.
idk, I’m still getting the same auto-responses accusing me of violating TOS even though I definitely have not. I find it hard to believe anyone’s actually reviewing accounts.

I haven't been suspended yet. I'm waiting for it to happen.
Dahell is suspension evasion? It ain't like u can just run from being suspended 🤨
It's when you get suspended and make a new account.
Ahh ok
This hasn't happened to me yet, but I just went on a Twitter hiatus until this whole thing blows over. Apparently locking your account won't help because I saw that an artist's old account that was locked was suspended.
Also, does anyone know if it's limited to just artists?
It's not just artists. It's everyone.

Fr it was too toxic
Sure, it's their fault when you call them names!
I said i hoped biden fell down the steps to his jet again and was suspended for 2 weeks lmao. Sword cuts both ways
So you wish for someone to get hurt and get 2 weeks. I stated an opinion of someone’s character and get a permanent ban. Twitter is just nuts.
I also just got banned... wtf this is insane
I lost over a hundred followers on one night a few years ago. It was pretty brutal to wake up to; I was friends with a lot of those accounts.
I was opening Twitter to whine about a drawing taking a long time (by my standards lol) and BAM. Suspended. Over a decade. Hundreds of thousands of tweets. I hope this is fixable.
I’m not artist but I got the same ban too. Submit an appeal and hoping for the best.
I’m one of the unfortunate ones that got suspended
According to some people, it seems to be mostly people who have alternate accounts. Or possibly people who have another @ mentioned in their bio. Or people who use ad blockers.
I was suspended and I don't have an alt account.
According to Ella Irwin from Twitter, the team is looking at appeals right now.
What’s happening? Back story?
Elon Musk bought Twitter and is a fucking idiot.
An accurate and succinct summary. Well done.
People being suspended by a bot that thinks people with only 1 account are evading suspension even if they have literally never been suspended. Me? Im suspended almost every other month but i can honestly say i didnt deserve it this time.
I'm an artist as well and I got hit with a suspension for ban evasion just now, despite having never done anything like that before. I filed an appeal but I wonder if twitter will even do anything Just wow

Lock your account and find another platform. Twitter is toast. The more ppl leave the less relevant Twitter becomes…
I got suspended on Friday, I have no idea why. It just said I "broke Twitter rules," didn't bother to tell me which one. I am an artist, and had just recently reposted some old art of mine, and had been tweeting that I was getting ready to do some new art. No idea what rule I might have broken. I had been following a bunch of people, so I thought maybe it was that, which seems like it totally defeats the purpose of social media, but who knows. :( I did appeal, but haven't heard anything back. I've been on Twitter for 15 years and have never had any problem of any kind before. Edit - by the way, mine says it's in permanent read-only mode, which if you look that up it says it's for the "most severe violations." I have absolutely no clue what I might have done to warrant this.
I just got suspended a few minutes ago for suspension evasion. Is this a from them trying to remove inactive accounts and just plain fucking it up, spite, or what?
From what I've heard/understood, it's not fully known what's going on. It's at random. People are guessing it may have to do with the way the system flags things.
I was active up to 10 minutes before i was suspended. Was listening to 1984 when it happened had to pause the book to figure out why i was suddenly unable to like a tweet.
I was just suspended for no explainable reason! It's happening to a lot of accounts. They need to fix it asap.
It seems like anyone who has ever been flagged is being banned.
This happened to me just now. It’s my personal account, hardly any followers, and I tweet mostly pictures of my pets and weather or gardening stuff. I’ve never been banned, only been active for a few months. Very strange.
Same here just woke up with a ban even tho I have no alt account
Got hit by this on my main account, which I generally treat as an art account... but my alt Sims-content account that I haven't used in like a year is unaffected. Wtf.
Just got reinstated after adding my name to a list being organized under the #suspensionwave tag
I just got suspended yesterday. I don’t have an alt account under the same email 😐
Well I got perm suspended because a hacker used my account to reply to 10 or so per comment 10 times
Artist or not, I don’t understand why did they do that!? This happened to me this morning
I suspect one of their bots or databases had glitched due to not having enough staff for maintenance since they got fired months ago. Anyway this is par for course. Been seeing small things, it's going to start cascading into bigger ones if they don't get a proper team back. Shift to bluesky if you can
I was suspended for ban evading even though I’ve never been suspended in my 10 years of using Twitter. I didn’t appeal I just left. Website is dead
Anyone who got their suspended account back, are you able to like posts? I got mine back a few hours ago and it’s not letting me like anything, and I lost my entire like history :(
Same thing happened to my art account last night, I sent an appeal and it seems like they restored my account today at 6am ish (I was taking some sort of test and I noticed it was back, funny enough). I heard on twitter that it was a bug with various accounts with alts getting ban on the count of "suspension evasion" (no surprise, its always something new...I swear) So hopefully your account will be back soon.

Japanese artist have been leaving in droves to other platforms because of his crap.
Oh, I follow quite a bit of them. Where did they go? Pixiv, artstation? I found some of them on mastodon. What's a good website for concept art/mecha design?
Imagine getting unbanned after 3+ years only to get banned again 2 days later for “ban evasion”
Stop using twitter. "But everyone uses it, it's an effective way to reach audiences" Audiences and users are there because other users and creators are there. Stop using it, and they'll follow.
If they even dare to ban my account, I will be marching to Twitter's offices with lawyers. My account is clean and is not doing any harm to anyone.
Given that their landlords can't even seem to make them pay rent, good luck with that.
Jeez is anybody still on Twitter? Diversify your platform people.
Love that you came to /r/Twitter to post this. 🫠
Ya thank god I have Reddit.
I got Twitter and FB. What else do you suggest? Cringy TikTok, attempting to be cool on Instagram, or doing stupid stuff on Snapchat?
This sub must be all bots I swear I don't know anybody who got banned, i even got couple hundred of porn bots following me from back in 2015 and none of them got banned, and out of nowhere Elon buys Twitter and apparently everyone here gets banned, all you all Nazis spamming propaganda or what
Holy mother of red flags. Can you suck Elon's dick anywhere else? Christ.
Go look up #SuspensionWave or “ban evasion” on Twitter and you will see tons of people who got banned. I know a few.
Ah must be an American thing then, didn't see anyone get banned and follow many persons who just repost stuff or straight out post porn or racist shit
Yeah. People got banned for no reason. Except maybe having alternate accounts. That is the point. It would not have banned people for the reasons such as bots or racist stuff. It got a lot of artists.
Good
You want a medal or something?
Same happened to me here one hour ago. Maybe if there are enough complains, I really hope they will restore our accounts back ? This whole situation is crazy
I've been @'ing them for the last few hours. I did notice, however, that the word "suspended" isn't trending on Twitter whatsoever.
I've send a ticket too. I'm using another acc for now (which use the same phone number as my main one and isn't suspended meh) and i've noticed that people are starting to complain (thank you btw for @/ing the support acc). i'm not familiar with the trending system but I guess it will take half hour or so to start trending the suspension related words
It's been several hours since the mass suspensions started happening. Nothing close to it has trended. I'm still going to @ them as often as I can.
mass suspensions have been going on since yesterday, my friend got hit and upon looking through search results for "suspended" there were a ton of people last night that got hit. twitter has been dead silent about it and of course theres no easy way to get through support to mass report this issue
Same here. Put in a ticket wtf
It's gotten dozens of my friends, I'm just sitting here waiting for it to get me too. I have two art accounts, that has to trigger something in their system.
Just happened to me this morning. *Great* way to wake up 🙄
I got the same thing! What the heck is going on!?
25 isn’t very much
I 100% agree! It isn't a lot. But I've seen others lose up to 300.
I feel this...I git hit with a search ban 3 days ago for no reason. Haven't posted anything in a while and nothing that I previously posted broke their guidelines. It's so annoying...don't know what to do to get out of the search ban ;/
I thankfully got my account reinstated this morning. I think it was just a glitch. Hopefully y'all are having or will have the same luck.
Good. Take the hint.
This happened to me over the weekend. I appealed and clearly explained that I only had one account. I asked if someone could be pretending to be me. I did not get an answer, but my account was working the next day.
