i feel like i would only be a pale imitator of a tuftie beside you, but now i am considering the circular shape of chickadees… shapesonas… 🔼⏺️

“i haven’t seen that” and “i saw that but obeyed their instructions to ignore it” are two different things, fyi

it’s me, i’m the person terminally incapable of communicating in anything but the best-of-faith even when arguing 😔

okay, but this is just explaining the algorithm thing again. this isn’t answering my question about “why would they veil it in the pretense of passing a message”. i’ve seen algorithm-check posts on many accounts, if not gibberish-number posts; the combo of numbers & pretense is still suspicious imo

that makes sense (& thank you for explaining, i rarely think about algorithmic promotion/repression), but i don’t understand why this account would make such test posts under the guise of “not for the public”, as opposed to just being clear about “checking if we’re getting pushed off the feed”

is that… a thing people do? post gibberish numbers to test their reach? i’m genuinely asking, because i have never seen such a thing before, & i would consider it much more of a stretch than “people are using the attention from political issues to personally profit”. but i’m open to other evidence!

i think i’m finally far enough out from my ornithology lab final to have forgiven the scolopacidae, but also if someone tells me that my alt text id is wrong & it’s not a SPSA i might kms 😛

well, for starters, you can check out the screencaps in the post above where they are purportedly using a public social media account to send coded messages to other government members, which is basically a definitional component to the whole qanon thing
