Yeah that definitely seems like a mistake. I tried it and it worked. I'm going to appeal it and see what happens. This must just be one of the algorithms going haywire or something.

That or maybe some random test code from development that got pushed into production by a series of accidents like a senior clicking Approve on the pull request of an intern without actually reviewing the code. Just a guess.

Works as intended? I wonder if this is due to Memphis' association with racism, and it is an artifact of them trying to shut down the conversation about it becoming too overt by accident, instead of sneaky shadowbans, de-trending, and throttling.

You're saying that twitter employees have a nefarious plan to ... throttle conversations about the american south?
