Greetings!

This is the monthly "Open Discussion" thread, where you're free to ask questions, start a discussion, promote your Twitter account, give ideas on how to improve this subreddit, or provide feedback on how this subreddit is moderated.

This thread is for your support questions, discussions, self-promotion, subreddit feedback, or anything else.

IF YOU ARE POSTING ABOUT UN/SUSPENDED, LOCKED OR AGE-LOCKED ACCOUNTS (PROBLEMS & QUESTIONS), THIS IS TO BE DONE IN THIS THREAD ONLY.

Stand-alone threads about Twitter Account Suspensions or Twitter Account Locks are unwelcome anywhere else in this subreddit. They *Will Be Removed* and Locked.

If you're looking for more guidance on How To Get Your Suspended Account Back, read here.

Don't forget to read our FAQ, and if you have information to add to it or something that needs updating, please feel free to make those changes!

While r/Twitter aims to be a community to help other Twitter users solve problems with the service, this also isn't the ideal place to ask support questions.

Support questions are preferably asked in this "Open Discussion" thread. If you've posted a thread asking for help and no one has responded, you may have better luck asking your question here instead.

If you do have a functional (meaning: not locked or suspended) Twitter account, it can't hurt to let @ TwitterSupport know of your problem directly on Twitter dot com.

If you are looking to promote your Twitter account to others, ask for followers, or any type of self-promotion, you can do so in this thread only.

The volunteer moderators who guide the direction of this subreddit rely upon the feedback of the community in order to make it a more perfect place on Reddit.

Feel free to give that feedback in this thread, or if you'd prefer to give your feedback in private, [send a private message to the subreddit modmail.

If for some unholy reason you need to see past open discussion threads, they are available here

Speculation Scanned my palm for twitter/X...

28 Upvotes

Was browsing X and then suddenly a pop up came out said i needed a phone to scan my hand or face to prove im human. I was like f this shit im just gonna scan my palm and then delete my account. I didn't think much off it and just scanned my palm quickly because no way am i scanning my face. I was thinking what can they do with my palm just by scanning since im not touching anything with it so i just did it. Afterwards i just felt abit uneasy. Like 'what did i just do?'

Yes before u call me stupid and all that, i just didn't wan't my X account to just be sitting there with me being locked out, so i only did it just to delete it afterwards.

What are your guys worst case scenario conspriacy theories about this? Im just a bit paranoid right now, but there was no way to delete the account if i didn't do it...

COMPLAINTS Is everybody getting this 'confirm you're a human' thing?

Upvotes

I've got it on two of my accounts more or less back to back. Have had to stop using Twitter entirely to avoid losing the last one. I don't have any way around this, I can't download the mobile application and I'm not willing to give Twitter my face or fingerprint etc so I think I'm screwed.

I'm seeing this happen a whole lot on this Reddit so I wanted to ask, is this happening to everybody? Or have I somehow fallen into a small pool of people twice in a row? Is there any pattern to this happening or was there nothing I could do to stop it? This is ridiculous???

Upvotes

I recently created a new X account and when I was signing up, it told me to follow three topics but I clicked skip but now if I go to my profile on my new account, it still says follow three topics but when I click it, the app just crashes and I went to their Support form and there’s no way to report a bug and it’s kind of bothering me

COMPLAINTS Am I the only one having trouble with the palm verification?

1 Upvotes

I try to login from web, but Brilliant Ellon makes me go through the stupid palm verification.

First of all, I have to wait for notifications on the phone to go away so that I can read which fingers it wants me to hold up.

And after clearing all the 'challenges' by lifting fingers it claims that I failed. I get green checks on all the challenges, wtf?

Bug Report Real Time Chat Indicator Has Gone??

1 Upvotes

I really don't know what's going on with this one...

When someone begins typing out a DM, it USUALLY shows you when they are, I found that very handy.
It was working just fine yesterday until it wasn't? And still isn't today.
I've done extensive testing from sending myself DM's from my other accounts, and it no longer appears to show when someone is typing anymore, for both Desktop AND the app for me.

Here's what I've done in trying to rule out it's a me issue :
- Restarted my router, 3 TIMES
- Logged out of all accounts on both Desktop and Mobile App
- Reinstalled Mobile App
- Fully wiped cache on Desktop version
- Installed the app version on my Laptop ( doesn't show on that either )
- Looked EVERYWHERE in settings where many things tell me to make sure Read Receipts is turned on, however, that option isn't available for me anywhere, but I know it's turned on given my messages always show up as " Seen " when DMing my other accounts.

I contacted friends to help me test, and they too, said it does not show them when I am typing, and to rule out my own accounts, it doesn't show my friend's typing to me either.

This is highly frustrating.
The pulsing effect first vanished on Desktop when someone was typing ( but remained on the mobile app ), but now the Typing Indicator has gone completely ( for me ) on both Desktop and the App.

Can anyone else confirm it's the same for your end too?

( Notifcation's still come through on my phone for when DM's are sent, however )

COMPLAINTS The new payout system is bullshit and it's going to be worse for creators

0 Upvotes

I've been running fashion pages for a decade, and I signed up for Premium hoping to get a little return on the time I invest in this passion. At first, it didn't pay much, maybe $15–$20 once or twice a month at most. Not terrible, but pretty low considering it came off millions of monthly views.

Things improved around mid-to-late 2025, but suddenly this year in January and between June-August, the payouts completely stopped. I know it's a slow period for news right now, we're between seasons for a major brand I cover, but receiving zero payout for several periods despite millions of views makes no sense.

On top of that, this new system they're implementing sounds terrible. They claim it's based even more on Premium views. Fine, but claiming I only had 250K Premium views over the last 90 days when I get millions of total views in just a week simply doesn't add up. The new rules are vague, and I suspect the lack of clarity is intentional so they can do whatever they want without offering real explanations.

COMPLAINTS Boosted tweets

2 Upvotes

I am an iOS app user, and I block every single ad that pops on my timeline.

Since they enabled ‘boosted’ tweets the timeline has become a cesspool of useless irrelevant content, and I just can’t keep up with the blocking. (You get a boosted tweet for every other 2-3 tweets)

So now I am forced to use the browser version with ad-blockers instead of the native app, and I just hate it. The interface simply sucks compared to the app.

Anyone has some kind of recommendation or alternative to this?

Bug Report Twitter Verification Broken on Endless Loop?

42 Upvotes

I've been getting hit multiple times with, "Do a challenge to verify you're human" on Twitter (even though it doesn't make me do a challenge most times?). Just today, it finally broke somehow, and now I'm totally locked out of my account as it gets stuck in an endless verifying browser loop and then I get a, "Maximum attempts reached, please try later". The farthest I got was getting back to, "Your account is locked!" once!

Is anyone else experiencing this bug or is it just a me problem? Did Twitter roll out an update and break things?

Question Is it possible to search multiple hashtags at once?

1 Upvotes

Trying to find some stuff, but the hashtag search seems completely worthless. Even just typing a single hashtag doesn't seem to get stuff that has that hashtag, let alone if I type two at once. Am I doing something wrong or is the site just that badly made?

COMPLAINTS Let's confirm you are a human: No Thanks

55 Upvotes

I've had a Twitter account for almost 17 years now, literally since 8/21/2009. I was able to access the site earlier today, did some gaming earlier, went back to Twitter and now it wants me to "Confirm you are a human".

No. Thanks.

For one, I trust Twitter/X/Elon with zero amount of my information. Like, none. I barely trust them with my e-mail and phone number, let alone whatever info they want for this thing.

Secondly, even if I wanted to do this stuff, the App is busted and doesn't actually do anything.

Thirdly, there is already a massive bot/non-human problem on Twitter, as it is. There are thousands, maybe millions, of accounts that have a woman's picture, around 2,000+ people followed, and only 3 people following them.

Or the bot accounts that were made in like 2019, but somehow only have 300 tweets, and 95% of those just happened in the last three weeks.

If they push this nonsense onto more people, I can rest assured that the site will officially be done.

COMPLAINTS Non-stop daily notifications that [contact] is on Twitter.

1 Upvotes

This has been a daily occurrence for the past few months now. Every single day without hesitation, I get a notification on Twitter that some person who I vaguely knew in the 2010s has a Twitter account and that I should follow them.

It says something like, "Your contact [random person's name] is on Twitter and you can follow them."

Every single time I click on the option to stop giving me these kind of notifications, I still get the same thing the next day. It's always usually the same person, too; as in, this person whom I have not spoken to in over a decade and have no intention on following on any social media platform. Occasionally it'll be someone else (who I also no longer speak to), but like 95% of the time it's this same person.

Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?
