Question

What are the loud 'popping' sounds I hear when I type text retweeting certain accounts?

That's the sound that your keyboard makes when you touch the keys. The reason why you only hear it sometimes is probably because the sound won't play if your phone is muted.

Question

How about if I can only see older tweets, not the most recent one?

It's possible that your more recent tweets could be shadow-banned, but not your older ones.

Question

Do you type in the first part of your user name or the @username? When I put in the first part of my username, nothing is found but when I put in the username after the @, I can see my posts.

You have to put in your whole username. If you only put in part of your username, your results will not come up.

Question

If no items come up in search for “username” you are shadow banned. What does that mean?

It means no one will see your tweets accept those who check your Twitter profile.

I don't see any recent tweets?

Log in to your Twitter account. Select the icon of your profile pic, located at the upper-right portion of the screen, then choose “Settings and Privacy“. Scroll down to the “Content” section. Check or uncheck the “Show the Best Tweets first” option as you desire.

Question

What can we do to be unshadowbanned?

Shadowbans on social networks such as Twitter are usually the result of automated processes. They should clear automatically after a few days, and, unless if manual action is taken against your account, you will still be able to like and comment on other tweets.
