A quoted tweet from a user named Sam that reads: "How Twitter is rigged Type in all caps because you're excited? Lowers your reputation. Include links? Your score goes down. It's like the Credit Score system from Hell. And given Cisgender is treated as a slur & MAGA boosted, you can guess what's categorized as 'offensive'" The tweet they quoted is from user SADIQ and reads: "Tweepcred is X's reputation system Based on your behavior, you get a tweepcred score It determines your reach Break the algo rules, you score goes down and your reach disappears What are the rules of the X algo tho? Glad you asked." SADIQ includes a photo of Twitter's algorithm code that calculates a user's reputation. SADIQ continues: "Post 'offensive text'? 80% reach reduction Offensive username? 80% reach reduction All caps tweet? That's seen as 'shouting. Major penalization. Include links? Yup, penalized"

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.

my beloved

It’s infuriating to me that I need to evaluate media to determine whether it’s AI generated now. The great “time saver” technology wastes incalculable time and energy for people who want to retain their grasp on reality

I think I want to be told I'm pretty, but if someone tells me I'm pretty the first thought is "you are flattering me so you can eventually sell me a time-share"

met a celebrity today

whether this is a discussion about relapse, stunted development, vulnerability, armchair diagnoses, or the exhausting talks of culture informing violence—are we all finally in a place where we can at least say “i hope she is back someplace safe and is okay” or are we all still being weird about that

Puritanism

do i have to sign every post with <3 ?

yes, yes i do <3

bsky isn’t dead you just aren’t used to non botted internet activity anymore <3 wake up wake up you’ve been in a coma for 5 years

things are different now

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

i’m like personally embarrassed. this is sad.

a million kickstarter dollars for the misogynist movie

can the next unfiction movie be respectful to women and victims of SA?

that would be nice, to put it lightly <3

we gotta get like three VPNs deep with signal chats set to a disappearing turnaround of minutes to be able to use adult words instead of "unalive" or "grape" meanwhile our political elite are apparently just emailing each other plaintext "up for sex crimes tonight ?"

She's actually really shy.

dear x users,

would you like to start feeling better? stop going to the nazi bar

“I discovered a new emotion last night”

insomnia!!!

i do not want to be online. i do not want to be offline. i need some sort of third line

It’s been ten minutes since last time, you know what that means: Val is asking for money again.

I’m saving for a car.

Trying to scare people. But it won't work. No one looks scared to me anymore. And it's power in numbers. All the TV hits in the world won't change the fact that when Americans see the sheer number of people out there, absolutely no one will believe anything these guys say.

One curious thing on this site about speaking out against the encroachment of LLMs is that inevitably you get accused of being anti-tech. I don’t hate technology. I’ve used machine learning in my own code before. But I also recognize that oligarchs are so hellbent on pushing this tech for a reason.
