Tell HN: I got banned from Twitter for literally no reason

I built https://sci.app as my quarantine project. I manually curate videos and livestreams that I think could be of interest for the scientific community. I wanted to have presence on Twitter, so I opened a new account with an email from @sci.app. I uploaded a nice profile picture and filled all the details (website, location, etc...). I added my phone and it was verified (as well as my email, of course). Here it is, for reference: https://twitter.com/scidotapp The very next day, I logged in so I could tweet for the first time and my account was "suspended". That was probably a month ago, since then I tried filing multiple "appeals" through their website and had zero response. I don't even know what could I have done wrong as I literally just set up the account. It is truly sad how draconian the internet has become and how regular people like me have no recourse to fair treatment. This is the exact kind of thing that hinders innovation , who knows many others have gone through a similar thing and just quit it.
