Can you tell me what changed in terms of anti-spam since I did twitter actively up to around early 2021?

I used to bot twitter a lot ran usually around 50 accounts, went up to perhaps 100 or so, but 20-40 was my sweet spot for being manageable and give a decent return on time investment.

I stopped before the Musk takeover.

Since then I have just done little browsing on there, had a single account for that and still got it locked and couldn't get back in just because I forgot the email or whatnot.

Just with that casual use I didn't notice anything drastic that changed in terms of the anti-spam stuff but I was not going hard like I used to such that I would notice changes more easily over a larger data sample.

So any changes of note or is it still the same stuff under the hood?

I would not plan to bot nowadays, just have a single manual posting account probably. At least until I got used to it again.
 
If you're only running one manual acc, it's much less of headache. Just avoid acting too aggressively at the start and you should be fine.
 
The platform feels less forgiving now even normal accounts seem to hit limits much faster than they used to.
 
The biggest change is that reach gets throttled faster than accounts get banned. Manual, consistent posting works fine, but sudden promotional behavior seems to get picked up much more easily now.
 
A lot of platforms have shifted toward stricter behavior checks over time activity patterns that once looked normal can now trigger more attention than before.

What worked years ago doesnt always work now even small changes in how you use the account can make a difference.
