Hey folks, long time no see. 1/
Hey so funny story. On Saturday a new fake twitter account popped up using my name and image. I thought oh, maybe I need to get a verified account now? So applied for one, only to find out I don't qualify (not enough followers they said). 2/
So I reported the new account, and mentioned in the report "by the way, there are multiple fake jvipond accounts". Yest at 4:40 was told my report had been acted on, and the offending account suspended.3/
2 min later my account was suspended as well, and the email I got announcing it used the same case number.
So, I think that the twitter algorithm caught my real account in the net of fake accounts. 4/
Suspecting it is not malfeasance but just an algorithmic error. Glad to be able to keep spouting off on rapid tests, airborne transmission, climate mitigation, and all round good covid policy. Thanks to y'all who stood up for me .<24 hours to correction thanks to you! fin/
