What i find surprising is people willing to trust a random person saying they got banned without elements to prove it

I find this very suspicious, why not show what twitter told you? that seems to be the first thing someone would share when they complain about getting banned

I'll go with "trying to surf on the Stray hype to get clicks" until proper more details are shared

I suppose it’s possible someone would make this up, but having dealt several times with erroneous content removal / account blocking from FANG companies, the story rings true.

E.g. I’m currently banned from Google Ads because they “detected suspicious payments” without ever trying to charge my card (the same card I use without issue for GCP and Google Workspace). They’ve denied three appeals without any information and still won’t tell me how to fix it. I have a feeling I’ll have to write one of these blog posts to make anything happen.

The full video that supposedly causes the auto-ban is in the article, so I decided to just try it:

I assume "additional tasks" means needing to delete the tweet to be unsuspended, as the author described.

Now that's interesting
