Dealing with suspensions
How do y’all deal with receiving suspensions on social media?
Recently I received a suspension on three of my twitter accounts for platform manipulation and spam, which I didn’t violate any of this and now I’m currently twitter-less. It’s making me so anxious and have really bad anxiety. I cannot stop thinking bout this and it’s been almost a week. I just feel like I’ve done nothing wrong. I’ve had these twitter accounts for years and then all of a sudden some certain individual that was in a periscope broadcast chat had falsely mass reported me for spam.
I’ve sent in an appeal about a week ago and it’s making me so hopeless. I’ve heard from a lot of people that it may take awhile or it might even not even be taken care of. It’s so stressful to know that I won’t be able to get my account back.
Anyone that works at twitter, please help me out. I truly am a loyal twitter user. I do not tweet any harmful/abusive content nor do I manipulate the platform. I have been on this platform for years now and never had an issue.

Certainly a reason to stay away from questionable folks on the platform.
Best of luck. All you can do is wait. Don’t invest yourself so much in it. It’s not worth it.

Same thing happened to me on Pinterest. I was trying out a new posting schedule suggested by another blogger and I was A/B testing it against my own.
I think I posted too much to a group board one day, so Pinterest suspended my account. I appealed the decision multiple times but unfortunately, still suspended. Sucked because I was getting massive blog traffic from there (about 30K a month), and had about 3K followers there. All my boards are gone and my access to some pretty big group boards was gone, too.
I had terrible anxiety about it. Almost considered stopping blogging because of it, but I sincerely love what I do and was able to find motivation to keep going.
The best advice I would give is to start accepting the possibility that you may never get access to your account, while still fighting with Twitter. That way, you’ll be mentally prepared in the worst-case scenario that they keep your account suspended.
If you haven’t already, try taking it to the Better Business Bureau. I’ve heard people have luck getting their accounts reactivated.
Best of luck!
