Answer each question after running the test. Use a logged-out private window, or a friend who doesn't follow you, for the "outside view" tests. We never ask for your password, and your answers stay on your device.

1. 1

   Has X told you your account features are temporarily limited?

   Official notice

   Look for a banner or notification saying some features are limited, or an email from X about a policy violation.

   Yes No Not sure
2. 2

   Are your recent posts missing from search for people who are logged out?

   Visibility test

   Open a private window, go to x.com/search, search from:yourhandle and pick the Latest tab. If posts you made in the last few days don't show up, that points to a search ban.

   Yes No Not sure
3. 3

   Is your account missing from search suggestions?

   Visibility test

   In the same private window, start typing your handle in the search box. If you don't appear in the dropdown even when you've typed your full handle, that's a search suggestion ban.

   Yes No Not sure
4. 4

   Are your replies hidden from other people?

   Visibility test

   Reply to a public post, then ask someone who doesn't follow you to open that thread. If your reply only shows up under Show more replies or Show probable spam, or not at all, your replies are being deboosted.

   Yes No Not sure
5. 5

   Have views on your posts dropped more than 80% with no change in how often you post?

   Visibility test

   Compare the views on your last 10 posts with 10 similar posts from a month ago. A sudden, lasting drop that lines up with the tests above makes a restriction more likely.
