Twitter incompetence in one image

Here's a short crosspost from evanvanness.com

As of last night, I’m suspended from Twitter again. This is the ~7th time that my account has been suspended for no apparent reason - the last time they actually suspended my account within 1 hour of unsuspending my account.

Here’s what you see if you search my account right now on Twitter.

There are 3 fraudster imitations of me which are not suspended, and have never been suspended despite the fact that I reported them as fraud imitations (something my account got a lot of in the last crypto bull market). Being suspended, the legit account does not appear.

Most likely Bitcoiners are mass reporting my tweets to try to get my account suspended. And it keeps working.

But wait, there’s more

In January, I created @WeekInEthNews to be a specific account for the Week in Ethereum News. About 10 days ago, I logged on for the first time since account creation and uploaded a profile pic. Specifically, this one that Alexey somewhat jokingly created for me:

On uploading that pic, the account was suspended. I immediately appealed, but of course I have heard nothing.

So now I have 2 suspended accounts which I am appealing. Meanwhile the fraudster accounts are still live. Twitter in a nutshell.

Twitter's capricious incompetence highlights the value of censorship-resistance publishing platforms.

Hive is 100x better than Twitter in many things. What Hive lacks is network effects. I'm going to seriously re-evaluate how I continue on Twitter when they eventually give me back my account. And will start posting more frequently here.
