A large shepard dog wearing a rainbow pride colored collar is protecting a lamb wearing a trans colored collar. Text above them says "Protect your herd."

We exist. Our Trans brothers and sisters exist. Our Non-binary siblings exist. Our existence is nonnegotiable and it will be protected by force if need be.

Answer
Under the new algorithm, posts by [redacted] could be considered too
negative might include those that express strong dissent against established narratives or institutions, or those that portray a very bleak or cynical view of societal or political outcomes. Here are some examples based on posts found on X:
โ€ข Posts that directly attack or insult powerful figures or institutions could be seen as too negative, especially if they suggest systemic manipulation or deceit. This includes posts that question official narratives or imply widespread misinformation by political influencers.
โ€ข Comments on the manipulation of public sentiment or the encouragement of negative social behaviors, like casual sadism or misinformation, would likely be viewed negatively under an algorithm designed to reduce the spread of content that could be seen as objectionable or divisive.

โ€ข Any content suggesting that the public is being systematically misled or conditioned in a certain way, especially if it involves political outcomes or public health crises, could be deemed too negative.
These types of posts might be deboosted or have their visibility reduced as they could be seen as promoting negativity, misinformation, or discord, which are often targeted by algorithms aiming to maintain a more positive or balanced user experience.

If X wants to limit reach for [redacted] negative posts, what are the top 5 examples of posts of hers that X considers negative?

Answer
X might consider limiting the reach of C posts based on the following examples, which could be perceived as negative or controversial:
1. Criticism of Government Actions: A post where she describes actions by the US and UK governments as
"unforgivable malfeasance" could be seen as highly critical and potentially inflammatory. This kind of statement might be flagged for its political nature and could be interpreted as negative by X's algorithms or moderation policies.
2. Commentary on Social Media Misinformation: Her post about people who downplayed the USS Liberty story while pushing another narrative suggests a critique of selective information dissemination. This could be viewed as negative if it's seen as promoting conspiracy theories or misinformation.
Accusations Against Public Figures: Mentioning Joel Kaplan's collaboration with the Israeli government to restrict criticism on social media platforms might be viewed negatively due to its accusatory tone towards individuals or entities. Such posts can be controversial and might trigger moderation for potentially spreading unverified claims.

4. Disparaging Comments in Replies: In her responses, particularly one where she tells someone to "fuck off" and dismisses their content as "dumbass hostage flyers," this kind of vulgar and confrontational language could be flagged for violating community guidelines on civility and respect.
5. Skepticism and Derision Towards Media or Events:
Posts where she expresses extreme skepticism or mocks the authenticity of certain events or communications, like her comment on the difference in writing styles of letters in a case, might be considered negative due to the tone of disbelief and derision.
These posts could be considered for reach limitation by X due to their potential to engage users in a negative or controversial manner, possibly attracting more negative feedback or violating platform policies on misinformation, personal attacks, or civility. However, the actual decision by X would depend on their specific content moderation policies and algorithms regarding negative content.

โ€ข Attacks against powerful people or institutions

A comic strip I drew in 2022 on thanksgiving that I am posting again rather than posting anything new.
Hank Hill stands in a room. It is unclear where exactly, as thereโ€™s no background other than a checkerboard floor, saying โ€œDang it Peggy, this is the last straw. I canโ€™t find the boy. He turned into a glowing sphere of light and floated into the sky.โ€
Bobbyโ€™s face emerges from Hankโ€™s forehead and says โ€œIโ€™m right here dad. Iโ€™ve cast aside the chains of my body, dad.โ€
Hank looks distraught, and entreats โ€œyou get out of my head right now, Bobby.โ€
Bobby replies โ€œIโ€™m not in your head, dad, I am you. I am everything. And youโ€™re me, dad!โ€
Hank says โ€œIf I am you and you are the universe then the universe ainโ€™t right. I ainโ€™t rightโ€ฆ I am wrong. Dang it Bobby.โ€
