Twitter Is Going To Limit The Visibility Of Tweets From People Behaving Badly

On Tuesday, Twitter announced a massive change to the way its conversations will work, evaluating not just the content of individual tweets, but the way users behave more broadly on the service. Twitter will now use thousands of behavioral signals when filtering search, replies, and algorithmic recommendations. If it believes you are trying to game its system, or simply acting like a jerk, it will push your tweets lower down. It’s the biggest update so far in the company’s push to create healthier conversations, an initiative announced by its CEO Jack Dorsey in March.

Among the signals Twitter will use: whether you tweet at large numbers of accounts you don’t follow, how often you’re blocked by people you interact with, whether you created many accounts from a single IP address, and whether your account is closely related to others that have violated its terms of service...

Please don't think this only affects conservatives. My data shows that Twitter heavily censors all types of users including about an equal number of liberals and conservatives. On some threads to newsmakers, around 30% to 50% or more of the tweets are censored.

See this thread for how to force Twitter to change what they're doing:

If enough people help with that - such as by urging the media to cover just how bad Twitter censorship is - we could have a real impact on their censorship.

It's a free market. Raise some capital and go for it.

“Behaving badly” being the operative term.
I think we all know what that Dog Whistle really means.
There may be some token appearance of applied discipline of libs when they get too rowdy, but that will be the exception to the rule.

And the definition of ‘behaving badly’ that triggers the twitter AI is what ?

Internet Ghettoization...

Death warrant signed by Twitter itself. If you have stock, sell it quick.
For months it has blocked Drudge and many others that I follow. I hardly ever visit Twitter now.

Trump is there.

Quote the constitution and be banned for life

obama forbid we allow people to decide for themselves what to see.

[jarwulf]

gab.ai but people including conservatives would rather talk about how much they hate twitter and other ultraliberal corporations than actually stop using their services.

I refuse to buy dead-man-sausage!

I don’t use Twitter except for what I read here.
