Twitter Pendemic!

Today's email will focus on the Pendemic on Twitter right now…

Most accounts getting Shadowbanned.

I guess almost everyone is experiencing this.

So..

I woke up this morning with so much positive energy and excitement.

Why?

I am going to dedicate 2 hrs for engagement and it's something I haven't done in a long while.

But I was welcomed with dozens of tweets indicating their being shadowbanned.

If you're on Twitter you can definitely attest to this.

It was toooo much and I almost thought it was just a trend.

Until I checked mine…

And I found out that I had the Pendemic too 😂

Prior to this time…

I have been banned 3 times in the months of January and February

But I didn't know the consequences and I didn't make any fuss about it.

After 3hrs of research…

I came up with:

The reasons why shadowban,how to manage it,how to avoid being shadowbanned.

And I am so elated to share what I found out with you.

Do you want to see it?

Alright.. let's get down to it:

I found out that, there are three kinds of shadowban:

i) Search Suggestion ban.

ii) Search ban.

iii) Ghost ban.

The first one is the most common.

Almost every creator came under its knife…

Why is it crucial for you?

Your Twitter account get's minimum engagement during this period mostly from your followers,

& is hidden for the rest of the new users to discover you.

Let's dive in straight to the activities we're doing unintentionally,

Which could get you a shadowban:

I am guilty of most of them 😁

1) Tweeting too often or Excessive Engagement.

Twitter wants us to behave like humans.

Sadly, Human authenticity is constantly monitored by bots.

We need to legitimize our presence by behaving like one.

Eg. More than 150+ comments a day.

2) Fast or Repeated Tweets.

We all make typos, don't we?

But we aren't perfect.🙂

Don't try to delete your earlier posts/replies or comments,

And make another new Tweet instantly!

You would most like to get yourself a ban.

( I've done this too 😭…A lot!!)

3) Not dividing your Twitter engagement into multiple sessions.

You will likely get caught off guard if you make more than 50+ comments at a single stretch.

Instead, Divide it into:

• Morning - 20 comments

• Afternoon - 20 comments.

• Evening. - 20 comments.

Likewise.

4) Avoid overly Promotional.

I know we should shamelessly promote ourselves.

But you should avoid constantly pushing your own Tweets/Thread links in different communities,

or on comments of different accounts.

It will get you burned.

5) DMing a Hell lot of users.

Every Twitter account has a soft cap based on the account's age and followers.

If you breached it by DMing too many users in a short period.

Boom.

Auto-DM or Viral Giveaways often result in a temporary shadowban.

More Precautionary Tips

6) Don't send standalone GIFs; Add any text to them.

7) Avoid replying too often to people who don't LIKE your replies.

8) Stay Polite with others and avoid bullying or the use of cuss words.

9) Avoid posting similar comments.make them distinguishable.

Eg. Don't post - GM or Good morning!

Everywhere...

Instead - write GM Jake or Good Morning Fiona. etc.

10) Following or unfollowing a lot of Twitter accounts in a short period of time.

11) Interacting with people who are already shadowbanned - via. tweets/comments or DMs.

How to manage a shadowban:

Avoid any kind of activity during a shadowban.

Give yourself a break!

Let your account heal on its own

Shadowban might last for:

• Few hours to one day or

• Three days.

• Extendable till 7 days.

If you kept on going you might keep extending it.

At the time of writing this mail,rain is falling heavily..
