I tried to open a new account on Twitter app for Android, using only my email. It was going ok until it asked me to provide my phone after confirming my email. The reason: suspicious activity / spam behavior. The account is in limbo now, and I can't access it any more.

Time to spin up a Mastodon instance.

The same thing happened to me two years ago, though I had signed up with a PC with Gmail and my account was locked pending phone verification within an hour.

fwiw, if you challenge this, twitter will restore your account.
