Don't use tor browser. Make a tutanota or protonmail account and wait for 2 days. This will make sure that your account doesn't get locked when you receive the Twitter OTP like 5 minutes after account creation.
Use Windows or Ubuntu with VPN. Passing the captcha for creating an X account is a lengthy process (10-15 minutes) but it's faster on ubuntu. Then keep liking, retweeting, commenting and eventually your reach wlll increase and more people will see your activity.
Don't forget your email password, and try to keep logging in from the same VPN country. If the location changes they might ask you to enter the OTP sent to your email, so it should not be a disposable email.
*Ahem*
Yahoo doesn't care if you use it to sign up immediately.
Both yahoo and twitter can be signed up for using SMS. Temporary SMS can be purchased for dimes worth of money (crypto) if you look.
Now keeping from getting shadow banned on twitter is another trick. Normal behavior has resulted in an on and off ban for me. Sometimes, my posts are treated normally. Other times, no one sees them according to metrics, and of course no one replies. And it's streaky; doesn't seem to be based on the content of the posts themselves but rather whatever is my social credit score at the time.
I use an edge private tab with VPN. The reason is because sometimes I want to delete all data on the account in order to deny it to websites. I wish private did that on its own, but it doesn't. Tracking cookies come, and the only way I know to get rid of them all is to delete everything.
Edge is spyware. There's a link about it on c/privacy
Probably. I'm using it as a "probable" blank slate. Because websites (Twitter) get mad if you send them total bullshit about what is your browser. This was kind of my point about "private mode". My goal is to send as little (valid) info to the websites I'm visiting in order to use them. It's not a general privacy request. I'm not putting actual "me" data into bullshit web browser.
The way I use windows, think of it as using a blank virtual machine to access the internet, that's regularly reset. I don't use it for here, if c/whatever is looking tho. I've been through a few for this purpose with Edge mainly having the value of always being installed.
What VPN are you using? Mine didn't work.
Have been using Proton VPN (paid version) and Twitter regularly on several accounts since 2023. The accounts I created and used in 2024 are mostly on Ubuntu. Still no problem with the ones created on Windows in 2023, can login fine. Sometimes it's a bit slow, but it works.
One time this year I tried to use ceate an X account on Windows but it took too fucking long, so I gave up and booted up my Ubuntu laptop. Was able to create it in like 5-10 minutes.
Both using paid version of Proton VPN.
I'm not signing up to Proton VPN without actual confirmation that this will work in 2024 december. ;)
