Thanks for sharing this, this is what I get when I tweet about it over on X

Disclaimer: I do not know, for a fact, that this is what’s happening, over at X, but given the changes and all the extreme right-wing nonsense being spread over there, it is my opinion this is happening: It seems like the most likely explanation.

When I try to post this on X, this happens (10/10)

8) Again, going by what Musk says, the more an account is muted or blocked, particularly by big verified accounts, the more its reach is limited. Someone makes the case that you’re spreading misinformation? Simple. Have all your accounts block them, almost no one will see their content. (9/11)

(5) Meanwhile, when there are genuine individuals spreading content resembling your propaganda, make sure you follow, like and share that content, too. Making sure they know that when they post that sort of thing, they will be rewarded with followers, interaction and monetization. (6/11)

First, how Musk says algorithm works:

(1) It favours paid (verified) accounts.
(2) The more a post/account is liked/followed/interacted with, the more feeds it is pushed into.
(3) The more often an account is blocked or muted, particularly by big accounts, the more its reach is restricted (2/11)

Here's how I line up:

This is my second generation Seiko Cocktail Time, which is presumably inspired by late nights out in the various lounges in Tokyo. I'm wearing this on a red genuine crocodile leather strap, to match the shirt and Harris Tweed jacket...

When you turn up to a friend's rooftop barbecue, in perfect weather, and you get offered a proper English ale!
