If you thought the bots were obnoxious now....
In 2019 I replied to a funny video on twitter.
I replied "Oh man, this kills me."
Instantly banned, no warning, no explaination. Just.....banned.
At least thats why I think they banned me. I have no idea. Instead of telling me why, I had to google likely reasons for an autoban, and found thats a common reason. Its the only thing I can think of.
That being said, I wasn't threating murder, or suicide. I was saying "this video is funny" in different words.
So I don't find the bots obnoxious now. I never see them!
It seems like banning someone who threatened suicide might backfire.
Problem solved
