Any ideas would be appreciated. Also how do I fight back since I wasn't given any options to protest being banned off of Twitter?

Ever see a computer program that was full of "spaghetti code?" Ever try to find and fix a bug in one? Now, multiply that across all of the programs that make up Twitter. I'm guessing that there's a ton of nefarious code hidden in there. I doubt Elon has discovered half of it yet, let alone fixed it. My guess is, you got caught in some of the legacy stuff.
Wow this is a really solid take fren. Honestly never even thought of that. Makes sense though. Just like there is a lot of evil to unpack that also goes with there plans
I saw a lot of this type of thing when I programmed -- and it wasn't being done for nefarious reasons -- it was simply bad programming. People would go to unbelievable lengths to complicate the simplest of tasks. We had a phrase for this: running around the house ten times to get through the front door.
Now imagine what a group of programmers can do if they're trying to complicate some code...
Wow this is very insightful stuff thanks for sharing. I know absolutely zero about coding and programming. This absolutely makes sense though. I like the phrase u gave. Definitely something all coding should be aware of. How long did u program for. Do u still do it or if not why did u stop
I programmed for around 20 years. I called it quits when the company never replaced anyone that left, and just started dumping more work on my desk with no pay increase. It simply wasn't worth the mental stress at this point.
Yep part of what has taken so long for some people to get unbanned or unthrottled is that these parameters were hardcoded into their account info rather than just an entry on a database that could be unchecked. Accounts had to be manually fixed.
This makes a lot of sense thanks for the response
Elon can rewrite the code, line by line using the old code, find a demon?, delete it. It won’t take forever if he has excellent programmers.
It's not that easy. Code can branch off in many different directions, depending upon conditions. It can get very complicated, very quickly. Couple that with variable names that have no obvious meaning and it gets even worse.
A = B * C, for a simple example, is not as user friendly as saying Area = Length * Width
