To be honest, your reply came off as very condescending.

I don't know how anyone could predict that Twitter's crazy algorithm would flag that tweet, any more than they could predict that Twitter's crazy algorithm would flag a video of a cat game. It's all too easy to sit in judgment in hindsight, given the fact that Twitter's crazy algorithm did flag the tweet. But nobody really knows how it works with foresight.

Not my intention. You are right no one would have known it would be flagged.

My point was merely that if the tweet isn't 100% for your work / online profile then I would use a different account to post it.


The thing is, I actually created a separate business Twitter account when I started my business. But... nobody followed my business account! I even tried to get people to follow it, but they didn't. My personal account was already well established, people were already following that, and they seemed to have no interest in the business account. So I basically had to abandon the business account. It still exists but is little used and totally obscure. There would be no point in posting from it anymore.
