So. I'm back (for now?). A short 🧵

My last handle - @EmilyLShepherd - was suspended last week without any warning or explanation.

This couldn't have come at a worse time, as I was in the middle of commenting on the unfolding controversy around @rabbit_hmi.

🧵 1/5

The only reason for my suspension I was given was:

"Violating our rules against evading suspension."

Let me be very clear now:

I have had that account for years.
It has never been suspended before.
It has never been warned before.
I do not use any alternative accounts.

🧵 2/5

Over the last week, I have tried multiple times to get in contact with someone, to appeal - or even get a reason for - my suspension.

I've received no response. Not even an acknowledgement.

My guess is no human was involved in my removal & no human has seen my appeals.

🧵 3/5

.@elonmusk claims that @X is a place of free speech - he even claimed that he only did his interview with @donlemon because he asked for it via X.



How can it be, then, that people can be wiped from X, seemingly at random, and without recourse?

🧵 4/5

I'm convinced my suspension was a mistake. So I've come back.

I'm using my name, my photo, I'm not hiding, I'm not evading.

If I'm genuinely not meant to be here, and I'm suspended again, then so be it, but I'd implore @Support to at least talk to me about this first.
