So I suspected this for a while but I finally confirmed it - I was shadow banned; to my understanding this is likely because I opened a bot (commands on @mention) account with same mail/phone or whatever.

This is worst than actual banning. I've been living in the shadows for who knows how long.

Recently I gained some momentum - one of my threads (same handle, @high_byte) got relatively viral and I doubled my followers overnight. (from 300 to almost 600 lol)

But still I am invisible to the world. support@twitter.com auto-replies with basically "we don't answer via email". Their support page has only Q&A and no contact information. This should be illegal!

What can I do?
