Locked out of the twitter writing community. I guess I'll just quit.

I will say this: no matter how messy or bad any of my stories are, you can always count on the magic being dope. ✨

The #Writing Process:
1. Thinking about writing
2. Procrastinating about writing
3. Reading about writing
4. Tweeting about writing
5. *sobbing hysterically*

I quit. I've never experienced anything more draconian than #shadowban and @TwitterSupport runaround. I never bothered anyone. If some obscure posting behavior triggered this, I deserve to know what it was. I don't deserve this. Thanks to everyone who took an interest.

[Drew Downs @drewsdowns]

@Veirruc @TwitterSupport No. There's nothing. They've structured it so they can silence you without any possible avenue for recourse. I have one outstanding support ticket left. When it doesn't work, I'm just going to leave twitter.

[Drew Downs @drewsdowns]

So @TwitterSupport just shut down my latest ticket with this excuse. Never mind they sent to same email address as my twitter account and this is part of an existing email chain. This was after I explained I'd reset my pw multiple times and could they please elevate the ticket.

[Drew Downs @drewsdowns]

@Veirruc Thanks! I just wish there wasn't zero transparency. I don't know what actually triggered it. I don't know when it happened. I don't know how long it's already lasted. I don't know how long until it ends. None of the support tickets match up to the issue so you can't get help.

[Drew Downs @drewsdowns]

@Veirruc Yep. Other than follower timeline and ghost pop-ups, I don't exist.

[Drew Downs @drewsdowns]

@Veirruc Huzzah! I think followers can see me in timeline, though I'm not sure if I'll show up in reply mention notifications for you. That's all though. But hullo! :)

[Drew Downs @drewsdowns]

@KayAyDowling I think it's just because you're following me now. Rest isn't changed. I still won't show up in threads or searches or hashtags. But hi! :)

[Drew Downs @drewsdowns]

@KayAyDowling *freezes, afraid to do anything to jinx it*

For really real? Can you see me in other places?

[Drew Downs @drewsdowns]

No one can hear me. #MyMentalHealthIn5Words

[Drew Downs @drewsdowns]

could someone twitter recognizes as a person RT @TwitterSupport: My support tickets keep getting automated "reset your password" responses (and then silence) instead of feedback related to my actual ticket. Is it possible to get real support? #shadowban

All I want for Christmas is for my tweets to be visible. #shadowban I keep following your instructions @TwitterSupport but I'm still invisible. Please help (super awesome that they won't even see this mention b/c I'm invisible).

[Drew Downs @drewsdowns]

@LexineHiggins ESO is awesome!

[Drew Downs @drewsdowns]

@AuthorSteger @veschwab Ooh, that book's one of my Christmas presents to myself. Looking forward to reading it and seeing your review.

[Drew Downs @drewsdowns]

@tanjasramirez Congrats!

[Drew Downs @drewsdowns]

@LexineHiggins Transparency is not twitter's thing, apparently.
