that's pretty much the gist of it.

Just to mention, AilliA is my only personal account online (that's why I'm so upset - I invested too much soul in it), but I have other accts (some multitudes bigger, lol) on different platforms related to some specific (and more serious) topics, so I more or less know the rules and how to play this social media game... I was very careful, and now I literally have no idea why twitter did it. I thought it was related to a border incident: I refused to unlock my devices and, let's say, was not in the same room with my devices all the time during that incident (and, btw, yes, I mention that because that happened very much outside of fourteen eyes and their (potential) collaborators - good thing about dogshit places - they do not share info with Western countries - so when I mention something on the internet (I think) I know what I'm doing too ;) ). I thought they tampered with my laptop. I thought I had to nuke AilliA and ~30% of my online life. But my ad hoc research, and the fact that only my two (unrelated to each other) accounts were affected (I had 20+ users on that laptop, and I was logged in to ~5 (social) media accounts under 5 different users) and also other more experienced in such "research" people confirmed that it's most likely not the case (got rid of it anyway).

So TL;DR, rn I think, it's just twitter is a bitch. Too bad I still have to deal with it... biiig f*cking time :)

" related to some specific (and more serious) topics" I thought these topics were as serious as it gets: privacy, anonymity, free/private markets, anti-state stuff. I guess I was wrong!

This reads like:

it's funny how there's a parallel, both border control and centralized social media can refer to vague rules and arbitrarily subject you their whims, locking you up, interrogating you, seizing your person and your property... one in the physical, the other in the digital. so disgusting.

I have a guess as to why this happened: parties interested in Monero failing were quite active in that time period. I wouldn't be be surprised if they had mass reported major Monero-related accounts and managed to trigger Twitter's automatic restrictions. I remember someone else getting the soft ban around the same time.
