As a result, these 1.5 billion Twitter handles that are currently taken Twitter handles will become available.
Tweets is likely to remove a good ton of inactive accounts, and free Twitter handles.
So, if you’ve desired to change your Twitter handle, well, you may soon be able to get the one you initially wanted.
Inactive Accounts & Shadowbanned
Perhaps if someone is not tweeting or performing an activity, it does not necessarily nor automatically imply they are not logged in or haven’t logged for a long while.
This refers to accounts “with no tweets & no log in for years,” Elon Musk clarified. You can’t really tell when someone last logged in just by checking their handles.
On the other hand, Twitter is working on a new user-focused feature, it will be able to tell you if you’re shadowbanned. This has been announced by Elon Musk, the owner himself.
Twitter is working on a software update that will show your true account status, so you know clearly if you’ve been shadowbanned, the reason why and how to appeal
