back on twitter

And by SHE I mean ME in my many Twitter guises. You may recall that I woke up one morning in late April to find that seven of my Twitter accounts had been suspended overnight, citing a breach in Twitter rules, specifically for “manipulation and spam”, and one of the seven was further charged with attempting to evade a permanent suspension by starting a new account. I did a little detective work and I think I found the “guilty” account, long derelict, that had probably been hacked and was – I suppose! – being used for posting weird shit. No idea since I hadn’t even looked at it in years (and then was not allowed access to it). I then supposed that the other accounts were found guilty by association. But I mean… this really fucked me over. Especially for the accounts directly linked to my work. So I started using yet another account of mine, started a few years ago so they couldn’t accuse me of trying to evade suspension, and have been posting stuff there as “Sevilla Tapas”. But even with friends helping with RTs I only ended up with about 340 followers (compared with close to 8000 on the ST account) and I kept wondering how I was going to reconnect with everyone again. I couldn’t even find all the people I’d been following.

Then today I clicked on something that brought me to the We Love Tapas twitter account and – OMG it was working again! So I signed in and then checked the other accounts and, same deal, they were all up and running. I mean, without any notice from Twitter that they had been reinstated, and without any proper reason given for having shut them down in the first place. Do I care? Fuck no! I just hope they stay reinstated. I’ve already arranged 2 Factor Authorisation on the accounts (something I have for Instagram, but hadn’t done for Twitter) and changed the passwords AGAIN and am now just really enjoying having my babies back. Twitter remains my favourite social media platform, with Instagram a runner up. But I talk more with people on Twitter, and have met some amazing people there, many of whom are my friends now.

Meanwhile, it seems I lost over a hundred followers on the Sevilla Tapas Twitter account while I was away. Weird. I wonder if they were bots that got eliminated during whatever the fuck was going on these past six weeks. But yeah, don’t really care. I’m just so happy to be reconnected with everyone there again. Go and say hello!  🙂

recuperando

So… fuck. It’s been an uphill battle with trying to get back on Twitter after I was VERY WEIRDLY suspended from seven accounts overnight last week. Half of them I hadn’t looked at in years, and one of them I cannot gain access to at all, which I think must be the one that was hacked. So yeah, fuck.

Two of those accounts were “accused” of trying to evade permanent suspension by starting new accounts (never mind they are both almost 10 years old) but there is no Twitter rule that I know of that stops me from using other accounts I have had going before the suspension. Enter @azahartapas, which I started in 2017 when I thought I’d need a separate account for my Azahar Tapas website.

So I am not breaching any rules by using this account, but it means I have to start over from zero. That means zero followers & friends, and also me trying to find all my friends again. And well, in the past day or so I’m up to just over 100 followers. Think it will take a while for me to get back to the almost 8,000 I had before. Anyhow, please stop over at the new place and give my pinned tweet an RT and @azahartapas a follow. 💛

more fun with paul!

Yet another Twitter/Instagram Pal, Paul @pauljwhite is from Newcastle but he spends a lot of time travelling, especially to Spain. We first met in person earlier this year when he was in Sevilla and he’s been back a couple of times since. And guess what? He loves doing Tapas Research!

He was also very helpful this time because one of our dishes arrived way overcooked. As I had already *ahem* mentioned a couple of other things to the waiter I asked Paul if he could send back the offending tapa. Well, Paul speaks next to no Spanish, and the waiter spoke no English, so I called the waiter over and just pointed to Paul, who picked up a piece of the dried out solomillo with such a perfect scowly face and kind of shook the dead meat around… that plate was removed SO FAST and was quickly replaced with a perfectly cooked version. Ha.

Looking forward to Paul’s next visit in January, and to meeting his daughter Molly. 🙂

twitter 10th (and 12th) anniversaries

This month marks my 10th Twitter anniversary for @SevillaTapas, though I actually first joined in March 2007 as @azahar, to accompany this blog. I’ve had a couple other accounts over the years but those two remain my main ones, along with my sister food tour company @welovetapastour, started in November 2014.

Out of all the social media platforms Twitter has been the one that has brought the most people into my life, and it has also been a constant source of entertainment and information. I never understand people who complain about Twitter, since it’s entirely up to us who we follow. When did you first join?

And ANOTHER new Twitter friend! This time a brand new one. An old Twitter pal Rachel @R_McCormack put me in touch with Amber @ninjaworrier when she heard Amber was coming to town this week to be a judge in the Sevilla Film Festival. So we met up for an afternoon tapeo and had a great time.
