While Twitter continues to ignore my support request to lift my suspension (no email received and I did absolutely nothing in violation of their rules), I can see when someone tweets at me. I have a carefully curated account where I block spammers to keep my followers number honest. I do not do mass unfollowings and I try to remember to tweet a hello! at new followers.
Mostly though, it feels very weird to be shut out the main channel of library/museums/archives related conversations online. I’m beginning to think of opening another account because it’s been nine days now. The main problems are picking out a new handle and finding the 600 people/institutions I was following.
This is really starting to leave a sour taste in my mouth especially after all the praise I have heaped on Twitter in the last two years. So I’ll leave a hashtag here: My Twitter experience is now completely tainted with #badservice.

I was thinking that I had not seen your tweets in awhile, thought you had unfollowed me – then I read your blog! I’m so sorry this happened. :(
There’s no way that I wouldn’t follow you! <3 I talked with some coworkers today and they like my new Twitter handle, but I’m still so reluctant to admit to it yet since it’ll feel like giving up on Twitter’s support ever fixing their problem.
