Twitter has hidden nearly all of my tweets. I want them all unhidden.

My appeal to the Twitter support system appears below. 

My old tweets are not shown in search results and I can't scroll to see my old tweets and thread. I have read the info at https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/media-policy and I don't think I'm in violation of the rules there or any Twitter rules. I think you've hidden my tweets due to a mistake in an automated system or a misinterpretation of something I wrote or due to a coordinated  attack where lots of accounts target a victim account with bogus abuse reports. 


If your system shows you tweets that if deleted would enable all of tweets to appear in search, or accounts that if unfollowed would let my tweets be returned to full visibility, or anything else I could to be returned to normal full visibility in search results, please let me know. I'm more than willing to do whatever it takes to get my search visibility returned to normal. I appreciate the time and effort you are spending in helping me solve this problem. 

There are many Twitter accounts with the same or great total number of tweets and the same or greater tweets per day.

I don't get into battles with people; if they bother me, I mute and or block them quickly.  I don't use a lot of foul language, or show porn or gore, or bother women with unwanted pictures of body parts. It's possible I am the victim of coordinated abuse report filing; my understanding is that is a fairly common misbehavior.

I support getting covid vaccinations. I wear a mask at stores. I use my Twitter account to promote freedom and peace; to reduce military spending, to stop military fighting, to support freedom of travel for everyone, and to free prisoners and put an end to cruel and barbaric prison systems. I think these are good causes, and it puzzles and hurts me that Twitter punishes people working for noble goals like those. 

I'm hoping the magic of sharing posts online will get my plea to restore my writing to visibility to the right person in Twitter, so please help me out by sharing this post. 

Thanks for reading.

I'm once again appealing to Twitter to make my old @ChuckBaggett tweets appear in search.

 I'm again appealing Twitter's removal of nearly all my tweets from search. Here's my appeal to Twitter support, support@twitter.

My old tweets, well over 200,000 tweets, don't appear in search. It's like having my daily journals and correspondence taken from me. If there are tweets I need to delete in order to get the rest of my tweets put back into search, just let me know which ones and I'll be glad to remove them. Please help me get my old tweets reindexed. Thanks.

Twitter - Restore @ChuckBaggett's tweet visibility. Stop deindexing Chuck Baggett.

I've used Twitter as @ChuckBaggett since October of 2008. Twitter has been my primary social media site for years. Most days, I tweet a lot. According to Twitter, I have nearly 300,000 tweets. Over 12 years of my tweets were recently deindexed by Twitter, a process known as "deindexing". My tweets no longer appear when users search for keywords I've used a lot, such as  #Antiwar, #ImmigrationRights, or #FreedomOfMovement. This is not due to an error on my part. I know how to use search. I'm using the advanced search page and searching for tweets from my username @ChuckBaggett, and specifying correct beginning and ending dates. Hundreds of thousands of tweets that were returned by search until fairly recently are now missing from search results. All of those tweets should still appear in search results.

I post a lot of tweets to advance social causes like peace, freedom, and space exploration. My enjoyment of Twitter is greatly impaired if people who are searching for keywords and hashtags such as peace, #freedom, or #Space don't see my relevant tweets due to what is probably an error on Twitter's part.

I don't use bots to disrupt other people's Twitter experience. I don't pick fights with people. I don't sell anything on Twitter. I write unique, hand composed tweets. I enter the vast bulk of them using twitter.com, tweetdeck.com, the Android twitter app, or the popular Buffer scheduling app .  

I have no idea why Twitter deindexed my tweets. Twitter has not told me anything I did that broke any rules. The most I've been given is a link to a laundry list of generic rules. If Twitter can't specify anything I did that broke any rule that merits hiding my tweets from search, then Twitter should promptly restore my tweets' visibility in search results. 

There's no good reason I should have to wait months or years to have my account returned to normal status and have all of my tweets returned when they meet user entered search criteria. 

I want people to be able to see all of my tweets that meet search criteria, not just a handful, and if someone looks at my profile, they should be able to repeatedly page down till they get to my first tweet in October of 2008, or their computer runs out of memory, whichever comes first.

WordTune, the AI-powered Writing Companion

I recently found a grammar checker and rewriter extension for chromium based browsers like Vivaldi, Chrome, and Edge, called WordTune, which bills itself as an "AI-powered Writing Companion".

In Twitter, I wrote the following: 

Statism, i.e., organized violence, threats, and deceit, the worship of government, should have lost all support due to its political, economic, historical and moral failings, but unfortunately those are what makes it appeal to its supporters.

WordTune will offer you multiple rewritten versions of your writing, if you want it to, which I did, and the results are as follows: 

In spite of its political, economic, historical and moral failings, government worship, organized violence, threats, and deceit ought to have lost all support. Unfortunately, this is what makes it appealing to its supporters.

Due to its political, economic, historical, and moral failings, democracy, organized violence, threats, and deceit, are the very things that make it appealing to its supporters. Unfortunately, those very things have become its hallmark.

Historically, and ethically, governments based on religious worship, organized violence, threats, and deceit should have lost all support for their political, economic, historical, and moral failings, yet these factors are precisely what make them attractive to their supporters.

The cult of government, including its politics, economics, historical, and moral failings, should have lost all support due to its violence, threats, and deceit, but those very qualities are what make it appealing to its followers.

Politics, organized violence, threats, and deceit, the worship of government, shouldn't have appealed to its supporters because of its political, economic, historical and moral failings, but unfortunately those are the qualities that make it appeal to them. 

Since state power is rooted in violence, threats, and deceit, governments ought to have lost all political, economic, historical, and moral support, but that is what makes them appealing to their supporters.

These seem useful, if not always the same in meaning to wrote, or sensible. I'm quite impressed by how much better today's "AI" is than that of a decade or two ago. There's been several times I liked what WordTune wrote better than what I wrote, in part or in whole. WordTune also does spell checking and grammar checking.

Twitter has suspended my @ChuckBaggettJob account. 😖😞☹😟🤯

Twitter has suspended another account of mine. This time it's @ChuckBaggettJob, an account I, perhaps foolishly, made to find work, back when I was still trying to get a normal 9 to 5 job.


Here's the most recent suspension appeal that I filed per the instructions at 
Appeal an account suspension or locked account.

@TwitterSupport said the following previously:

Hello,

Your account has been suspended and will not be restored because it was found to be violating the Twitter Terms of Service, specifically the Twitter Rules against managing multiple Twitter accounts for abusive purposes.

You can learn more about our rules around multiple accounts and against abusive behavior here: https://twitter.com/rules.

Please note that creating new account(s) to evade this suspension is also against the Twitter Rules and will result in additional account suspension(s).

Thanks,

Twitter

Here's my new suspension appeal:

You have suspended my account due to an error of some sort on your part. Possibly it was an error in your automated spam detection system; that is often the cause of inappropriate account suspension. Alternately, it might be that some users dogpiled me by submitting many false abuse reports about me. That happens to many users. I have not done anything meriting permanent account suspension. You should take the just and proper action, which is to restore this account with all its tweets and replies and followers and following.

My next step is to file complaints at the Golden Gate Better Business Bureau.

In the odd chance anyone reading this has any contact with @TwitterSupport or @Delbius, Del Harvey, Twitter VP, Twitter Trust & Safety, please see if they'll take a look at this blog post. Thanks.

OpenSim Still Going Strong So Far As Land Area And Active Users Go

 

I haven't been on an OpenSim grid in a long time. I just recently got a good enough computer to make virtual worlds fun to try again and see what they look like with the settings up higher.
