Twitter is screaming at you now!!! (2024)

FAQs

Why did Twitter think I was a robot? ›

If your Twitter activity is completely automated, that brings up many problems. Not only will Twitter think you're a Twitter bot, but other people will think you are as well.

Tap Settings and Support and choose Settings and privacy from the dropdown menu. Tap Privacy and safety, then Content you see. Check the box Display media that may contain sensitive content. (In case you want to know how to turn off sensitive content on Twitter, just uncheck this box).

Issues such as the release of the Twitter Files, suspension of journalists' accounts, and temporary measures like labeling media outlets as "state-affiliated" and restricting their visibility have sparked criticism.

When you've invited certain people to reply, they will see a line of context right below the post from their Home timeline letting them know that they (and anyone else selected) can reply and join the conversation. They will also receive a mention push notification if they have that setting on.

One significant academic study in 2017 estimated that up to 15% of Twitter users were automated bot accounts. A 2020 estimate puts the figure at 15% of all accounts or around 48 million accounts.

If you want to add more trust, swap it out for an actual image of you. Something else you should always fill out is your bio and seeing as Twitter allows you to describe yourself using up to 160 characters so make each of those characters count by providing an accurate description of yourself.

As explained before, Twitter (X) doesn't allow a variety of NSFW content. Users below 18 years old can't see this inappropriate content by default.

If you are unable to turn off Safe Search mode, it usually happens when you haven't added your date of birth while signing up for a Twitter account. We recommend adding your date of birth and saving the settings. On the contrary, if you have already provided the details, it's likely that you are under 18.

Changing algorithms, fake news, rogue bots, trolls and reports of users closing accounts means there's a perception the platform is losing its relevance and shine. Dig a little deeper though and user statistics show that there are still 326 million people using the network each month.

In its latest social network usage forecast, Insider Intelligence expects monthly Twitter users worldwide to drop nearly 4% in 2023 and another 5% in 2024. Our base assumption for this forecast is that technical issues and offensive content will drive away users.

Is Twitter less toxic than Facebook? ›

You're not alone, and according to a new study from SimpleTexting, the micro-blogging platform tops the list of "most toxic apps." Some 38.1 percent of respondents said that Twitter had the most trolls, compared with 26.9 percent who said trolling was a problem on Facebook, and 14.8 percent on Reddit.

When two people are replying to one another, only relevant people, such as those who follow the person who replied and the person in the conversation, will see the reply in their timeline. If you click or tap on a reply in your timeline, it will expand to display the post that was replied to.

When there are an overwhelming volume of replies to a post, our platform is unable to show all of these replies. However, if your reply is showing up in your timeline, the post author can, in most cases, view your reply in their Notifications.

Your protected Tweets will only be searchable on Twitter by you and your followers. Replies you send to an account that isn't following you will not be seen by that account (because only your followers will see your Tweets).

If a post is flagged as spam, you're acting like a bot in some capacity. This could be as simple as using a VPN or following accounts that are not active, or sensitive content. If you see this message, take a break, make sure your account is safe, and wait a period of time before interacting.

This request looks like it might be automated. To protect our users from spam and other malicious activity, we can't complete this action right now. Please try again later. This is due to a new temporary change to twitter to combat bots.
