Deleted my Twitter account (for now)
3 years ago
So, there was a few reasons why, I just couldn't deal with the tonal whiplash my feed was. You'd see silly conversations, art, furry porn, furry porn I wasn't in the mood for, and whatever horrors that happened that week.
What really ticked me off was the fact that I made a seemingly innocent post that was basically "You know, I should have my squirrel character drawn more. I should finish that incomplete ref sheet I've been sitting on for months." and I get 20 replies from bots saying things like "I would love to draw your squirrel!" and "I wouldn't mind, this is a paid gig, right?" I know I had 300ish watchers and I couldn't keep track of them all, but to suddenly see 20 posts from people I don't know that don't have furry profile pictures and usernames was pretty suspicious.
Now, this might not be permanent, because I can always get a new account later on, say... after a change in management and the place isn't as much of a dumpster-fire. (Not asking for perfection, I'll settle for a fire in a trash can compared to what they have now.)

Yeah, there are some trigger words that will act as a homing beacon for bots and that's why you see some people replace or remove letters to avoid that

OP
Yeah, I knew you couldn't say "PayPal", "Commission" and pretty much anything related to most money-related services like "Patreon", but I didn't think for a second that having "draw" and "reference sheet" in the same tweet would have made the bots go crazy...

Yeah, normally that wouldn't be the case, but people keep adding more and more keywords. Just got to assume certain words are trigger words unfortunately
