If you thought the bots were obnoxious now....

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 20 points 6 months ago (2 children)

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.
