Maybe I'm doing it wrong.
I enjoy the constraint and view it as a minor new art form, similar to the constraints of a Haiku. Seeing that '0' when I'm done is generally mildly pleasurable for me.
News search & discovery is all I use the service for and I'd like to see Twitter focus on that. Also, the narrow, single-file, non-pagnated way of scrolling & searching is not appealing at all to me. I'd prefer a more horizontal and populated set of tweets with a simple X in the corner of each one in order to teach Twitter what content I'm interested in (think: Youtube's home page while signed in). The way the site looks is obviously in tune with the 140 char limit but I've never much liked that either. In short, I'm not an ideal user.
Or a few people :) I follow less than 50, and a fair number of those are inactive.
Google was banning people's email and their entire digital life because of buying multiple pixel phones. This is an unrelated issue but they took it upon themselves to just use their unlimited power to screw people. It's like your electricity company shutting off your heat because you didn't pay for some stove, if they sold both things.
These companies would so themseves a lot of justice by setting up a this party group that manages hear abuses and is impartial.
Silicone is a rubbery polymer which contains silicon. :D (Ex, window calking, breast implants, etc.)
I thought they unbanned most of the actual people. a large majority were just bot accounts used to buy up the pixel.
Also, people like ASMR artists have seen a lot of takedowns of completely innocuous videos where they crinkle paper or something, just because people flagged it because they thought it's stupid and ridiculous.
Think Iron Man, not Ultron.

Definitely would recommend, even for entertainment value, but definitely for the SV lore and understanding these references.

Back then, Twitter was called twttr.
If the full number of followers were not restored, it raises the question of why not?
I don't know how to get historical "number of followers" information - as of this moment :
the numbers I see are " 20.6K tweets, following: 2,2264, followers: 2.63M, likes: 15.1K, lists: 3"
for good measure and lest someone try to rewrite history here's a screenshot I just took: http://i.imgur.com/JJQKPI9.png
The figure CNN quotes is: "Soon after Dorsey was reinstated, his number of followers was showing up as only about 145 -- a steep drop from the roughly 3.9 million he had previously. The figure later popped back up to around 3.8 million."
So what exactly happened to cause 1.2M twitter followers to decide to unfollow him?
Sure, he's a heavy tweeter - I wouldn't follow him due to the level of spam - I mean who send 20,000 tweets in 7 years - that's 7+ per day at least.
but the people who did choose to follow him - if the CNN quote above is accurate - aren't people I would expect to unfollow him exactly around this time.
So if CNN's figure is accurate -- what happened? And why the drop of 1 million subscribers, or in other words one in three subscribers that he had had?
I'd doubt that the underlying data is deleted even if you choose to delete your account.
> So yesterday someone found out that you can get any account banned if reports reach ~1000.
Is this somehow related?
