<p>As of last night, I’m suspended from Twitter again. This is the ~7th time that my account has been suspended for no apparent reason - the last time they actually suspended my account within 1 hour of unsuspending my account.</p>
<p>Here’s what you see if you search my account right now on Twitter.</p>

<p>There are 3 fraudster imitations of me which are not suspended, and have never been suspended despite the fact that I reported them as fraud imitations (something my account got a lot of in the last crypto bull market). Being suspended, the legit account does not appear.</p>
<p>Most likely Bitcoiners are mass reporting my tweets to try to get my account suspended. And it keeps working.</p>
<h2>But wait, there’s more</h2>
<p>In January, I created @WeekInEthNews to be a specific account for the Week in Ethereum News. About 10 days ago, I logged on for the first time since account creation and uploaded a profile pic. Specifically, this one that Alexey somewhat jokingly created for me:</p>
<p><img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/a46bad73b89daf46a9bbade09e9894d5/65e016270ed43bba-c4/s500x750/f7bd2d8461fdf52f9a15ed9813e647ffe5392602.jpg" alt="image"/></p>
<p>On uploading that pic, the account was suspended. I immediately appealed, but of course I have heard nothing.</p>
<p><br/></p>
<p>So now I have 2 suspended accounts which I am appealing. Meanwhile the fraudster accounts are still live. Twitter in a nutshell.</p>

<p>Twitter's capricious incompetence highlights the value of censorship-resistance publishing platforms. </p>
<p>Hive is 100x better than Twitter in many things. What Hive lacks is network effects. I'm going to seriously re-evaluate how I continue on Twitter when they eventually give me back my account. And will start posting more frequently here.</p>
