Hiya Oscar, sorry that happened. We'll just keep pinging Elon & TwitterSupport until we get someone's attention.

I certainly hope this is a mistake. If not, Elon has some splainin' to do. I have become a huge fountain fan recently.

Twitter is broken. They have a huge problem with bots, so they have automated systems that can suspend an account -- especially after other users have reported an account for abuse (e.g., "spam"). This provides an attack vector for Botmakers who don't like the automated systems. The botmakers then will essentially cause Twitter to nuke even valid accounts, in the hopes that the automated systems get defanged, and thus the bot accounts too are less like likely to be suspended in the future.
So, I suspect if Fountain appeals, multiple appeals, if necessary, that somehow the account will get un-suspended.
But Twitter is just absolute dog shit. We really need to find better solutions. And no, it's not going to be Mastodon either. Hoping that is something like nostr or if not, then some other decentralized approach.

I'm sure it's a mistake. Almost every time someone's account gets shut down it's usually a result of some shit AI getting tripped or report brigading. People love to use it as an excuse to play ideology martyr for likes though (not saying OP is doing this).

Yea exactly. Of all the "toxic maxis" Twitter could block, Fountain is waaaaay at the bottom of the list. They're friendly maxis!

No longer suspended.

Twitter, however, remains a broken piece of shit.

Wow! I decided to stop using that website a few days ago when they put my account behind an phone number required wall, citing identity verification to improve platform experience for users. Proceeded to delete the app, can’t even delete account without provide phone number now...
This Fountain fiasco on Twitters part only reinforced my decision was correct. Stacker news and Fountain only now.

Might take a bit, Twitter is a bit shortstaffed from what I hear.

Twitter's been wiping bot accounts today. I'll bet Fountain was caught accidentally in the dragnet. There's no logic behind suspending them intentionally.
Could be wrong of course, but that's my first thought seeing this
