19. How do you know it was Musk?

Fri Apr 29, 2022, 02:24 PM

Anyone can report any tweet they see. Twitter doesn't tell you who made the reports. RWers are out there brigading dems - mass reporting tweets and accounts. Twitter's algorithm is ridiculous and innocuous tweets are removed repeatedly. My one and only reported tweet came when I said, "the Cowboys suck." Hate speech, apparently.

Is there an option to ask for a review of the decision? Facebook allows that - it usually triggers a human to review it - but I'm unsure if Twitter allows the same.

Has Musk blocked you, yet? That's the badge of honor.
