"A great American job creator" Ted, the first thing Musk did was fire most of Twitter's staff.

I took a look at the information myself further on in the original thread. Twitter's new hellsite algorithm is designed for you to been seen only if you give Elon money. Actually, if you start a *brand new* account, your "score" is negative.
No one will see you.. unless you pay. Amazing.

"Vice signaling has seeped out of Twitter’s virtual borders and into the real world, where there are actual, literal, life-and-death consequences." The opposite of vice signaling is good, actually. @timmiller.bsky.social from the archives: lnk.thebulwark.com/3Mr9Rjc
Actually, Virtue Signaling Is Good
We could use less celebration of vice and more signaling of virtue.

they found out there’s a social credit/karma-like score system built into twitter’s code that is the main culprit for the algorithm making it difficult for your posts to reach most people

twitter’s algorithm is just bizarre now. I can go on there and scroll for like ten screens and 90% of the tweets are random people rehashing slightly different aspects of the same argument.

I’ll leave once my bsky follower count matches my twitter’s
I'm begging any artists still using Twitter claiming it's integral to their work to just leave. It's been revealed the site works off a made up "credit score" from hell and punishes you for posting like a normal human being.
Abandon Twitter for good. It's time. It's been time.

Once the dust settles on Twitter's mass purge of providers, are we even rejoining? It feels a bit hopeless.

I’m absolutely convinced Trollope would’ve crushed it during Twitter’s prime era, but than he would’ve been one of those guys who refused to leave it as his brain got cooked by the algo
Byron would’ve been on every social media and dating app, but William Blake would only have been on Bluesky

I’ve wondered the same thing, honestly. It can’t help twitter’s standing with investors or advertisers, it reveals a whole bunch of propaganda accounts that are just there to take advantage of ad sharing and meddle in our affairs, etc.
I don’t see ANY benefit for Musk here. I like the change though

I feel like even without verifiable proof, it's obvious Twitter's algorithm had been favoring negativity and hate for years.
STORY TIME!
When I started out as Paintbrush, I made the EXTREMELY foolish mistake of checking Twitter to see what fans thought of my performance.

Although they’re still here (but in small quantities), I do not miss Twitter’s horde of picrew lib hitlerites talking their asses off and over Puerto Ricans about Puerto Rico and how we feel about US colonialism
Oh I just remembered Adolf Hitler was on here

The second ban lift was quick, but getting banned a third time was just as fast. Damn. Twitter's system is way too harsh.

I'm begging any artists still using Twitter claiming it's integral to their work to just leave. It's been revealed the site works off a made up "credit score" from hell and punishes you for posting like a normal human being.

I know twitter's algorithm is the problem, cuz my waterboy art is going triple platinum on here but on the shite bird site is only being seen by 50 ppl. Tumblr is giving me better traction than this like wtf.

How come twitter's new algorithm "doesn't show your post to people that follow you"?!
What is even the point of that cesspool now?!

This is also putting aside that Twitter's audience is shrinking, albeit slowly, so even if you manage to get through the algorithm there you're not really winning new viewers, just competing over a shrinking group of existing ones

Tarantino represents an arrested development mindset that was very persuasive in cinephilia, especially during Twitter's peak. A childish fixation on being perceived as the King of Loving Movies, no matter how boring, stale and middlebrow his tastes may be. Lots of bloviating and empty posturing.
I know we have bigger fish to fry but I’d love it if a lot of people of note in the film business just took turns dunking on Tarantino. Like from now to Three Kings Day.

Like Twitter's fail whale, the reliability problems are in part a symptom of success
Make your product so compelling that it can have terrible reliability and users will still keep coming back.
(but then fix your reliability problems eventually, pleeaase)

Please, tell any artists you know who are still on Twitter about this! It really pains me seeing people continue to put up with Twitter's bullshit thinking they have a chance... The site's rigged against you in almost every way!
