I dumped Twitter about a month ago. The algorithm is so off, and I had over 100 followers and almost zero interaction with any of them. They were quieter than church mice. Weird.

They were either all bots or your account was shadowbanned. Either way twitter sucks.

It wasn't shadow banned, there was some interaction but it was few and far between.

I know for a fact that they have used a tactic of following people they don't like all the way back to like 2005 ish. I helped find a ring of the early TRAs who were using the yahoo answers features to abuse the automatic moderation software. The only reason i know I was successful was because some of them made new accounts to come complain that Yahoo was transphobic for mass banning transgender people. Honestly it was probably like 5-10 people each managing like 100 accounts.

Just imagine the sheer power of bot farms now. I think the DNC is all in on social media- Facebook, YouTube, Google, Twitter and Preddit. All of them are compromised. I can't even use Google anymore because the results are awful for searching.

It depends what you are searching for. It's obvious that anything related to gender is slanted.

It's all blue pilled nonsense. Wikipedia is the first thing that always comes up.

You're describing things which are politicized and google has clearly chosen a side. If I want to search for information like the boiling point of a solvent it works well.

Yeah, hardly any of my supposed 100+ followers ever saw my shit. Seriously, once I offered a free service and nobody responded. Who doesn't want free shit??

You're not the only one with this problem. https://hard-drive.net/guy-in-instagram-comments-cant-figure-out-why-no-one-cares-that-he-is-giving-away-5710-to-7-random-people/

Like ONE PERCENT of the original accounts I followed a decade ago were still active. It's all socio-political / idpol shit on Twitter. It's gone downhill.
