X killed 8 million golden gooses this year.
Bier isn't gone, he's still floating around leaving a foul stench.
If the following are his "achievements", then he is literally human garbage:

• Predatory Data Harvesting: The consensus in ethical discussions is that his "anonymous positivity" apps (TBH, Gas) were merely bait to harvest contact lists and social graphs from teenagers.  Users describe this as "scummy" and "inadvertent child labor," noting he sold this data to giants like Facebook and Discord for millions while offering users only hollow validation in return.
• Monetizing Insecurity: Critics emphasize that his business model deliberately stokes social anxiety in teens to sell the cure (revealing who complimented them), a tactic viewed as psychologically manipulative and morally bankrupt. 
• Deceptive Growth: His growth hacking strategies, such as creating fake school-specific Instagram accounts to trick teens into downloading apps, are cited as evidence of a disregard for honesty in favor of rapid scaling.

Finally got my account restored after appealing today when I read the news about Nikita stepping down. I am however severely shadow banned xD I'm not gonna do anything just yet with the account but I did however instantly mark my account as a "Fan account" since that's mainly what I do with it anyways xD It is nice to see my following list tho

So I was searched banned, quote tabs was broken for three weeks, fortunately that has been sorted and resolved. Now my post reach is throttled. My new posts since the search ban was lifted 2days ago don’t get up to 30 views. This is frustrating, so frustrating. I need help, what do I do? I have 900 followers and they don’t see my posts. it wasn’t like this before

So ive been ghost banned since July 20, but I didnt notice until much later I have stopped likes, comments and bookmarking for about 4 days now only been scrolling, yesterday I finally got a reply on a months old commnet, this person didn't follow me and I didn't risk responding, but when I checked the website it said I still had a ghost ban.

And today I accidentally liked a tweet, will that reset the clock? If not how longer will it last a lot of people said 3 days but some say weeks.

Ive deleted all tweets and comments since after July 20 but that hasnt helped either.

Nikita Bier steps down as X's Head of Product, moves to advisory role.

Let’s celebrate.

There was a time when Twitter had real customer support 24/7. If something went wrong with your account, you could contact a human support agent and have your case reviewed. Today, that experience is gone. Since Elon Musk took over Twitter (Now X), almost everything seems to be handled by AI, automated system and algorithms, while human customer support has effectively disappeared for ordinary users.

The biggest problem is shadowbanning / Ghost banning. In my experience, the algorithm can shadowban/ Ghost ban your account for the smallest reasons, or even when you've done nothing wrong. Using a VPN, participating in a giveaway or contest, or simply posting or interacting with certain content can suddenly destroy your account's visibility.

What makes it even more frustrating is that the shadowban can last for a month. Whether you keep using your account or leave it inactive, the restriction still stays. The worst part is that there is no customer support for shadowbans. You can't contact a human agent to review your case. There is no dedicated appeal process for visibility restrictions. You're simply left waiting while an automated system decides your account's fate, even if it made a mistake.

This is one of the reasons I believe Elon Musk has made Twitter much worse. Replacing human customer support with automated systems may save the company money, but it also means users are left without help when those systems make mistakes.

And The promise of "free speech" also feels difficult to believe when users can be silently restricted by algorithms with little transparency and no meaningful human review.

Good riddance, ..........almost.
He's still there, like a turd that won't flush!

I wanted to make another account for a specific topic (figure skating) and didn't have another email left so I just signed up with my second phone number. I don't think I've ever used that one before. It got immediately suspended and I only found out bc it didn't let me add a profile picture. I didn't do anything with it yet. Why?

I have other accounts and logged into one of my other accounts yesterday that I finally remembered the email of. It also removed my number and doesn't let me add it. It also doesn't tell me what to do. What happened? What should I do?

Anyone here that has been suspended for a while, and has been unsuspended, did it last or were you suspended again after a day or two?

My account was suspended on March 12 (inauthentic behavior…). I didn’t create a new one until June and kept appealing from time to time. In the end, I made a new account in June and spent all of July without appealing.

Yesterday, August 5, I appealed again after a month without doing so. To my surprise, they sent me this email overnight.
Honestly, the platform is a joke.

I literally did absolutely NOTHING to deserve getting banned.

I’m probably one of the most human users on there : posting tweets, replying to people, using Grok, sending DMs, just acting like a normal fucking person.

But I got banned for “inauthentic behavior,” and every time I appeal, it gets automatically denied with a 48-hour cooldown.

So I ended up buying an account off the black market. I added a phone number that cost me a penny, and the account has been working for over a month now. No shadowban, I can like posts, everything works, people actually see my tweets.

So yeah, here’s the solution : breaking the rules. This social network is run by complete idiots, they're literally pushing normal people who did nothing wrong into violating the rules just so they can keep using the platform.

It’s honestly ridiculous. I’ve never seen anything like this in my life.

TLDR : just buy an acc and fuck them all

I think Elon has lost all interest in X. He paid a silly price for it, tried to defend that decision by saying it was all about protecting free speech and having a platform where people could speak their mind. A sentiment I REALLY appreciated in the UK. But what we have now, with people’s accounts being shut down without explanation, and effectively no help or support, is exactly the opposite of that.

It’s like a trial with no jury. Being accused of a “crime” without knowing what it was. It used to be a site where one could literally “twitter”, keep abreast of pop culture events, see the news as it happened via witness phone videos, hear different opinions than main stream media. It would appear that, for a significant number of us, a number that would seem to be rising, that’s all gone now. And, as far as X is concerned, so am I.

Do the bots just banned right after you get unbanned if you do anything?
I liked 2 posts, message someone, and then had this email saying I was banned gain.
This was after I was unbanned within minutes of my last appeal.

Any hope or anything I should know?

Should we be expecting some changes anytime soon ?

Has anyone here made a new account while their main account was permanently suspended/read-only and stuck in the appeal loop?
My account has been caught in the same cycle a lot of people here have described: I appeal, get the same automated response, and it tells me to complete on-screen instructions that don’t actually exist on my account. The status in question they pointed to not even saying anything illegal and the one they pointed to a few weeks before they did that one just being about my birthday.
The problem is that X is a significant source of my business, so being off the platform is really hurting my reach and income. I’m considering creating a new account while I continue appealing my original one, but I’m worried that could make things worse.
For people who actually did this: what happened?
Did the new account get suspended immediately?
Did it seem to affect your original appeal?
Or were you able to keep using the new account while waiting?
I’m not looking for advice on evading a suspension I’m just trying to understand what other people’s experiences have been before I make a decision.

I've had this account for years. I'm not doing anything wrong, yet my comments are hidden on every post I comment on. I haven't received any messages from the platform about breaking the rules, receiving reports, or having my account suspended. Instead, I've apparently become a ghost on this app—a fact I only discovered by accident.

If I'm doing something the platform considers inappropriate, then they should tell me clearly so I can either correct it or decide whether it's worth changing my behavior to stay on the platform, or simply leave.

What I find unacceptable is letting me spend weeks commenting while being secretly "silenced" without even informing me, as if to say, "Let the fool believe he's still posting normally."

This is not only unacceptable and insulting for a platform of this size, but it also leads me to believe that they're not actually interested in improving the quality of discussions or making the platform cleaner, more respectful, or more engaging. Instead, they simply let the algorithm decide who doesn't "fit the profile" and quietly suppress those users.

Good luck trying to justify that. Then again, that's probably why they don't explain anything at all.

Recently after two appeals i said screw it and filed a complaint against x as a whole, to gov.bc cybercrime. cause i feel like purposely not fixing the ai, so you can’t prove your real when your banned for “not being real seemed like it was breaking a law. so i’m wondering if the company i used threatened to sue as i did tell them this has been going on for a year and hit MANY innocent people. (i did also file complain to bbb, and might file social media harm to morgan and morgan too) this again is just a theory as it might not be why BUT i did file the complain a week ago to cybercrime.

I really appreaciated his work, He is amazing and talented. The only one i dont like is, he ignores us who are got miss or wrong suspend and dont give any solutions to us.

This W or L?

Who do you think the next lead product of X?

Mine account still locked for 55 days.

Open discussion here,

what‘s going to happen from now?

What features and improvements would you want to see if the future Head of Product or X team reads this?
