Whelp I got a twitter account set up for my fandom stuff and I tried to use it today to start to get myself settled and satisfy the real-time post-and-response interaction style that I miss without tumblr, but then I got into a thread that I cared a lot about and I was posting I guess too much?  for twitter? Even though I was just replying to a thread because twitter is weird and I csn’t Have more than one complete sentence in a post so honestly what do they expect??? And anyway they froze my account because of “unusual activity” (which how could there even be any USUAL activity yet when I only made the dang thing a few hours ago) and the ap has now locked me in an endless cycle of closing the ap to launch the browser, which closes the browser to launch the ap.  So I guess I can’t twitter now.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

LOL so sorry, I never got into Twitter or Tumblr myself, but this is pretty hysterical. I guess you're supposed to tweet YEET and move on?

yeah, it was kinda absurd. I must have run afoul of the spam filters somehow, and the endless ap cycle turned out to be a function of the apps interacting with each other on my ipad. The apple ap wanted to direct me to the website to do a captcha to prove I'm not a robot, while the web browser wanted to automatically shunt me back into the ap. But the android ap had no such issues and I was able to do the captcha and get myself unlocked.

It's probably because you made a fresh account and we're active on it right away. They probably thought you were a bot or something. I frequent Twitter a lot but it really has a ton of flaws.

yeah, and then of course I immediately followed a bunch of people which get how that's a potential red flag but also what else am I supposed to do???

Take things slow apparently 🙄 this happens a lot to my friends whenever they remake their accounts. I'm not sure if you just have to wait it out but I hope it's resolved soon!
