@_simplepotato Hello,

Sorry for the false hope!. Fales positives do occur, unfortunately.
Certain usernames are hard-banned by Twitter for example. Our policy is to send an alert if there is even the slightest possibility that a handle is available. - Bjorn

Ware investigating an issue causing false positive emails being sent out.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

@KurtTrowbridge Sorry about that! Our detection system is rather optimistic and this causes the occasional false positive to be sent out. Apologies!

[MadeWithVueJS @MadeWithVueJS]

Twitter is planning to remove inactive accounts in the future – your chance to grab that short and fancy handle you always wanted! Let @handlescout notify you the instant it becomes available 🤩 (It's #madewithvuejs ofc!) - https://t.co/NueKk6JTEY
