Now, before you hit the panic button, take a deep breath. Twitter shadowban, also known as the ghost ban, is not a permanent nightmare. I'll give you some tips to get unshadowbanned on Twitter and earn your voice back, assuming that you already know what shadowban is.

If you don't even know what that means, check the following article⤵️:

All you need to know about Twitter Shadowban!
Wonder why friends stopped liking, replying and retweeting your tweets? If yes, there is a chance that you are facing a Twitter shadowban.

Step 1: Diagnose before seeking to get unshadowbanned

Twitter obviously won't send you a notification to tell you that you're shadowbanned. That's why, at the very beginning, I told you to check your shadowban status.

But if you still want to double-check if you're shadowbanned, you may want to go through the following checklist:

📌
Check your engagement: Have your likes, retweets, and replies suddenly gone down? If so, you might be shadowbanned.
📌
Search for your tweets: Use relevant hashtags or keywords to search for your tweets. If they’re nowhere to be found on Twitter, it’s time to roll up those sleeves, as there's also something called as "Twitter search suggestion ban".
📌
Try with a new tweet: Now do the same thing, but with a brand new tweet of yours. Craft a new tweet and include a unique phrase you wouldn't normally use. Now, search for that phrase. If your tweet doesn't show up, you're likely shadowbanned.
📌
The follower test: Ask a friend to search for your username in the Twitter search bar (not the "Who to follow" section). If they can't find you, that might be a red flag.
📌
Missing from conversations: Get help from your friends on this also: When you reply to a tweet, does it only show up on your own timeline, and not the main thread?

So, what's your score out of 5?

Just kidding. Unfortunately, this doesn't work like an always-working formula. Some even say that such a thing as shadowban doesn't even exist.

But let me tell you this: The more symptoms you show, the higher the odds of you being shadowbanned on Twitter.

Moving on.


Step 2: Find your mistakes to get unshadowbanned

Shadowbans can happen to violate Twitter's policies, even unintentionally. So review your recent activity:

📌
Did you engage in any suspicious behavior? Excessive follows, aggressive automation, or spammy behavior can trigger the shadowban. 
📌
Also revisit your recent tweets. Were there any that might have been flagged for spam, hate speech, or copyright infringement?

Remember, Twitter’s algorithm is watching! So what can you do?


Step 3: How to get rid of Shadowban

If you're sure you're shadowbanned and have checked your activity to find what you've done incorrectly, now is the time to correct those mistakes and get rid of that Twitter shadowban.


Content cleanse

Review your recent tweets. Did you accidentally use any banned hashtags? Were you perhaps a little too enthusiastic with the caps lock key in a heated debate? Or any inappropriate photos/videos you've posted recently?

You may even have some political tweets that offended someone. Take down anything that might have triggered a filter.

💡
But how to find and clean all those tweets one by one? It's going to take ages, right? So why not delete your tweets in bulk? Here comes Circleboom to help you!

Get rid of problematic accounts

Cleaning your Twitter account doesn't end with deleting your past content. On top of that, it may also be a sound idea to detect and remove some of your followers, namely low-quality ones, as well as unfollow spammy accounts that you follow.

As the "poisonous" content of such accounts receives impressions from you, your account gets sucked into a constant loophole of being followed by bots and fakes. And as they become most of what you see, if not all, you eventually interact with them, which is also perceived as spammy behavior by Twitter.

Good thing that Circleboom got you covered here, too. With Circleboom Twitter, you can detect;

Circleboom, a Twitter account management tool, enables you to clean up your account from bottom to top.

Engage organically

Respond to tweets from people you follow, and from high-quality profiles in particular, if possible, participate in relevant conversations, and use thoughtful hashtags. Also, retweet content you find valuable, and give credit where credit is due.


Use variety in your tweets

Mix up your content with photos, videos, and polls. This shows you're an active and interesting user. And you can use design tools to make the visual of your content more appealing, attracting more engagement.


Take a break

Sometimes, Twitter's algorithms get a little overwhelmed with excessive tweeting. Give yourself (and Twitter) a breather for a few days.


Step 4: Reach out to Twitter support and ask to get unshadowbanned

Don’t be shy; they won’t bite (probably). Send a polite message to @Support, explaining your situation. Be concise and respectful. They’re busy folks, after all.

In the worst-case scenario, you'll go unanswered. What is there to lose anyway?


Bonus tip: Be a good Twitter citizen

Twitter thrives on positive and respectful interactions. By following the platform's guidelines and treating others with kindness, you'll not only avoid shadowbans but also build a strong and engaged community.

While you're navigating the unshadowbanning process, focus on the good stuff. Use this time to curate interesting content, schedule some tweets for later, and maybe even connect with fellow Twitter enthusiasts online.

Remember, it's all about connection on Twitter.


Now, some patience: Wait until you get unshadowbanned

There's no magic "get unshadowbanned" button, but these steps can help you get back on Twitter's good side.

Keep your content positive and engaging, and hopefully, you'll be chirping away with the best of them again soon.

How long does it last? Short answer: It usually takes a few days to a week for the shadowban to lift. If you need a longer explanation, check the following article out:
