> You won’t be able to create new accounts

On what criteria? IP address? User-agent? Easily spoofed.

Getting a burner SIM is tricky depending on where you live (Mandatory KYC is required in some countries)



Yeah I can't tell you how many Twitter/X profiles say 'this is my [xth] account' or some variation thereof. I think the record I have personally seen is '18th' or '19th' (today I blocked someone who's profile stated they were on Try # 14)

Most people just launch another burner email (I don't think they're checking IP addresses or SIMS, at least not in the USA)


Even if I'm technically allowed to create a new account, I'm not doing this: I do not want to stress because of a risk of getting banned again.
