Seriously though you’ve put into words how I’ve been thinking about Twitter because I’m like, I’ve got these stupid quips, where am I supposed to shitpost them now
Happy for you escaping the hell site but also came here to do some Investigative Reporting(TM) because I miss your shitposting!!! Yours truly, a fellow shitposter
Maybe not hardcore porn. Maybe conspiracies, shitty political opinions, wellness scams, another voice in a harassment campaign. Bot swarms look much more believable if they're the stolen accounts of humans who poured years of labor into each one.
Maybe it's for sale rn in some dark web auction. The hacked accounts of humans must go for a premium. When someone finally comes up with a swindle that needs the extra cred, they'll pay up and your account and all the others it's bundled with will resurrect.
Obviously not saying this is happening, just speculating on why someone would want your account in particular, and why it might be sitting inactive currently. The person who hacked it need not be the one who uses it. Maybe it will have a "credibility score" of [years active = 14] ⨉ [number of followers = 3,072] = 43k, and this will fetch it a price of, I don't know, $43, paid in monero. AI chatbots might make once-human accounts more highly-sought-after, since they'll be easier to script while maintaining some continuity with their previous incarnation. "In the style of @ohevie, draft a tweet about how true patriots need to rise up and [something 2024 related]"
Also, *maybe* you could find your account if you figure out how to browse some dark web auction houses? But probably not. It's probably not like trying to find a stolen computer in neighborhood pawn shops; it's probably bundled in with a bunch of other accounts. Maybe the seller is using zero-knowledge proofs so the buyer can be sure that they'll acquire the number of accounts with the credibility scores advertised, but it probably doesn't even need to be that sophisticated.
This is so frigged!!!!! A violation that...bestows you your freedom? How postmodern!
Plz send all shitposts directly to me ❤️

Did you ever return to Twitter? Or try to get support? We want your take on the hellscape that is X.com.
Never returned, forever locked out. Got tired of lobbying their support teams and just let it go 😔
Makes sense but still sucks. If you do short form on one of the other social media, it'd be fun to read your observations on blue sky or the like.

Locked out still 🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠
This suckkkkkkks Evie! (But also this is painfully relatable - "My inner monologue was being flattened into short, quippy observations." )

Well all of that is bonkers but believable and now I feel the need to 2factor every acct of mine online.
Evie, my Twitter account just got hacked this morning too, in the same way yours was 😵
Noooooooooo
