I checked your submissions and you have three from twitter. They said they filtered out users with too many Twitter submissions. I really don't see the problem with Twitter submissions. Sometimes people Tweet interesting things with links in the Tweet.



I think they mean they filtered out users that only had links to their Twitter account in their bio (as opposed to a personal site or something) - not that they filtered them because they submit Twitter threads.

As others said it’s probably because the link in his bio is missing http:// or something like that.


Oh I see, it's in the bio. I thought they were looking at submission history. I don't understand why having Twitter in your bio makes you uninteresting


The underlying intent was to look for new/different websites. Twitter is fine, but I wanted to track down people's personal sites, hobby projects, etc.


It’s if it was the only link you have in your bio.

I have Twitter in my bio, but also my personal site.

If your bio only had Twitter/gmail and no other sites they didn’t include it.


There was no judgement on the person being uninteresting - the links to Twitter were uninteresting to what the OP was doing
