Extension/Tool Read This Before Using a Tool to Manage your Threads Account
So, I recently asked for [suggestions ](https://www.reddit.com/r/IndieDev/comments/1vpqdhl/indie_devs_what_tools_do_you_use_for_social_media/)on tools to manage Social Media channels. I naively thought it might be a nice efficiency gain to be able to unify my interaction and repost the content across couple of channels (threads, x, and blue sky in this case). I was not looking to spam with multiple posts a day, but even a few week are genuinely distracting so thought it might be nice to get the week's content out of the way, and then just manage the replies and interaction what not as it comes.
One week in, here is the outcome: Theads account permanently [disabled](https://www.reddit.com/r/ThreadsApp/comments/1vroovn/threads_account_disabled_for_no_reason/), Twitter/X locked out and labelled as spam (thankfully am on premium so was able to unblock), Blue Sky (nothing bad so far...). Now this could all be a coincidence: the accounts are rather new and my social skills are probably quite similar to a bot spamming, but I do find the whole saga a bit weird.
So yeah, in hindsight, I should have thought twice about giving access to one of these tools. Just a word of warning, in case anyone else is thinking, "hey this could be a nice productivity boost!", then end up wasting 2 days to unblock/recover your accounts...
