Just FYI, for those who want to get into the twatter brawl, without giving up your digits-- only an anon email addy. Pretty sure this is a recent development.
Background: I had my first & last twatter acct from 10/17, through 3/18 when it got suspended for "appearance of automated behavior", & was unlockable only via another phone/text code verification. I'd since lost the mobile phone through which I opened/verified that acct in 10/17! so unlocking that acct wasn't possible, as far as I could tell. Probably could've entered a new # to verify through, but I just opted to abandon it. Wanted a new twatter acct for sure; such a powerful platform to share truth through & potentially have it go truly viral; but had no # to verify through-- which twatter (formerly) required.
This weekend I grabbed a skype-in phone #, & decided I'd use it to open a new twatter-- well aware that my skype-in # could reveal my real identity, as I'd paid via credit card... but what the hell, I'd chance it, what's the worst that could happen, vs the benefit off getting back in the twatter brawl?? Got to the twatter screen demanding phone # for text verification, but this time, there was a small-font option to "use email verification." HMMM, decided not to give up my skype-in digits just yet. Went to http://protonmail.com & opened (another) free email addy. Didn't want to use the same protonmail I'd used for the former/suspended acct. For the unawares, protonmail is one of the very few email providers which don't require either a phone verification, or even a backup email "to 'protect' you, in case you lose you PW."
Returned to twatter with the new protonmail addy; badda bing badda boom, went right through without further "phone verification" hassle. This definitely wasn't the case with twatter before, and it may/may-not be a temporary window of opportunity? :(?? So jump on it if you'd like to harness twatter's people-reaching power... see how quick you can get shadowbanned/suspended!! :cool:
