Ok, so your first step has to be to file an appeal, and make it clear that the suspension was based on a typo; the word you meant to put there was obviously "chunk".  Make that appeal using reasoned speech, making it clear you had no intent to incite any kind of racial hatred, and that you would gladly delete the tweet with the typo.

Then wait for a response, which in my experience can take anywhere from 60 seconds (so you know that's automated) to a day and a half.
Let us know if your appeal is rejected. If so, we can start contacting twitter support about it.

Already did, yes I was very polite and explained that it was a typo and what I intended to write instead.

I actually had to look for the meaning of "chink" on a dictionary to understand what happened.

Funny thing. "Chink" means:

a narrow opening, typically one that admits light.

...Which can make sense in that context. An ethnic slur doesn't. It would be like writing "The theatres take a big Guido of box office income." Uh? They get a big Italian-sized percentage of the box office? It just makes no sense.

It is so painfully clear that it was a typo - not to mention that no ethnic slur is ever used that way - that, yes, my opinion is that a AI fired the ban automatically. Which means that we all are in big trouble. "No AI, today, will ever understand that "I'm not in the mood for a gay Christmas" is not homophobic at all.

It would be relatively easy to have a 3 tier system:

First bot detectas naughty words, sends tweet to second bot
Second bot searches for aditional words right next to the naughty one (like those fucking naggers, that fucking X, etc) if it fails to find one of the preprogramed chains then it send the tweet to a human.
Human reads and decides using context.
Message is sent to the infractor to delete or else.

Now you have eliminated 99% of bullshit bans thus eliminating 99% of appeals

FWIW, I tried to draw a little attention.

I've run into this a lot on Facebook. An AI program looking for naughty words doesn't have enough intelligence to know that context matters. This is also a big reason why I say that AI isn't ready for prime time yet.

The thing is if they weren't so worried their precious AI would become an edglord shitposter it would work much better.

But they aren't even using anything like chatgpt (which isn't asking for much) they are using a basic bitch bot that detects certain trigger words, not taking into consideration any of the words surrounding the naughty one.

Good news, got an answer and says I have to reply (alreadsy did) and allow for 3-5 days for them to review, so maybe it'll be reviewed by a human?

I posted naked titties (the ahem "model" in the October '77 issue of Playboy who was the inspiration for the Succubus in the Monster Manual) but covered her nips up, and suddenly I couldn't get in to my account like 30 minutes later.  One person said my account to outward appearance was Suspended, but I answered a few questions on Twit, and it reactivated.  Like not even "do you promise not to do this again" but "did you log in from this device?  Has anyone else used your account?" kind of security questions and it was back in full swing in another 5 minutes.

Honestly, some of my fringe follows (mostly women, which is strange) have posted porn to their pages every once in a while and nothing seems to happen to them.

I don't post tiddies, I don't even like or RT posts with tiddies on them.

But a fecking obvious typo got me suspended and I couldn't do shit in the account.

I just tweeted about this too.

Thanks my dude!

I've been trapped in Twitter appeal Hell the last 10 or 11 days because I criticized climate activists and advised them to get out of the fucking road so they aren't run over.  I'm not hopeful, but if anyone can help get my appeal through with a positive outcome, I'll be grateful. 

Thanks,

If and/or when I get out of it you can count with me.

Edited to add:

Dang it! I'm now out of the unjust suspension! Haven't heard from the twatter staf yet, should I delete the post?

And Venger? Got any image of the post?

Ironically, Chinese theaters take an even larger chink (about 70%) of box office revenue.

Is it still your position that you won't delete your tweet? I mean, couldn't you rewrite it after that, in a way that wouldn't be potentially interpreted as a "call to violence"? I mean, I'll go to town for you, but at the very least it would be good to see what the Tweet looks like first, so I can get an idea of how to phrase it, and I mean unless we can make an appeal based on the text being vague and no intent to suggest harm, I'm a bit pessimistic about chances of success.

When you say "twitter appeal hell", do you mean you filed an appeal and they haven't responded? Or that you filed an appeal and it was rejected? Did you make more than 1 appeal?

Because Twitter was so hot and bothered for me to delete the tweet, I assumed it stuck out like a sore thumb, and everyone had been liking and retweeting it for the last 11 days or so.

I just took a screenshot of what it looks like when I try logging in.  I'll send it to Pundit because I don't know how to attach an image here.

But to answer your question, it appears as though my appeal to not be penalized, suspended, or whatever is still in limbo.  As in, they're considering what to do.  So, I was waiting for an answer, but if nothing comes... I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. 

While I did say I'd never delete it.  I suppose I could delete it just to repost it again in a way that doesn't trigger my suspension.  But it's all social engineering, big tech psy-op bullshit!

You can't - you have to upload it elsewhere then embed it here with the Insert Image tab.
