I'd logged into Twitter the other day for the first time in years, first thing I noticed was a bunch of this twats tweets and that I was following him. Did he force accounts to follow him when he took over?

Ah doesn't show in my app that way

I had to read the sentence multiple times to see why it was removed, seems very odd.

Using "they" seems correct as gender didn't matter in the context, and it seems odd that you'd have to read someone profile before referring to their post. If that's a rule it should be required to be in the part of the display name.
