Problems with Twitter

[teawamutu]

I'm stuck at home with a knackered knee so have been spending far too much time on Twitter.

Likes and retweets are now being refused because 'it looks like bot activity' or similar.

Possibly I'm just being tinfoil-hat but we're really not talking thousands of likes and RTs... I am going to wean myself off and do something less rage inducing, but just wondered if anyone else had this, given twitter's dodgy history with women?

If you like lots/rapidly & don’t post it triggers the algorithm

Actually I think just rapid likes regardless of posting triggers it

Suspected as much. Time to do something more constructive then! Will it go away after a while or am I stuck with it?

Usually it resets after about 24 hours but it can be longer if you've been a particularly naughty feminist liker

Other women are having this issue, some of whom have a long history on there and are quite clearly not bots when you look at their depth of interaction.

So many dodgy sanctions are being placed on women on Twitter. Aside from the things you've mentioned limits are being put on popular tweets. JK Rowlings being the most obvious. Twitter won't allow it to progress beyond 205k and everyday our likes and retweets are removed.

Twitter is a completely at the whim of the people who run it. Which is why politicians would do well to pay less mind to it when trying to judge public opinion.

Exactly as Jade says (I think posting helps too)
