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...

I do, but I feel real bad about it.
Step by step Twitter will end up killing itself.
The funny thing, IMHO Trump and his tweets are almost single-handedly keeping this service alive.
Once Trump moves on to another service like Gab, Twitter will go the way of MySpace
Have no doubt the left will be pulling out all the stops, in 2016 they never expected Hillary to lose and their their shock, she did. Trump’s mastery of the media using Twitter most of all was one of his biggest weapons.
Twitter is trying to stifle Trump supporters. I am on my 3rd Twitter account, screw them. I work for my ISP, I can force my dynamic IP to change at will, and I have a VPN as well.
Two days ago I was having a field day on the US Embassy opening in Jerusalem, I was mining salty tears like crazy. If fact so much so I am surprised my latest account wasn’t banned.
The funniest thing about Social Media, the companies that own them are as far left as you can get. But try as they might they can not control the “social” aspect of Social Media, the more they to stifle us, the more they force people to defy(like me!) or just leave and use another service like Gab.
So have at it Twitter.....it’s your own grave your digging!
President Trump could destroy Twitter overnight and bring a HUGE windfall to another platform if he would announce that he is moving his official account to Gab.ai.
Millions would follow the President. Twitter would drop like a rock.
He has been dead for years. Made more money after than he did at his Lubbock BBQ/Pool hall.
there whole schtick is being profreedom of speech unlike twitter so I would guess you will be able to find vulgarity. I don’t know of any major twitter clone that censors but only in ways some conservatives and house moms would approve of. Sorry.
We should get President Trump to switch from Twitter!
Or, to use both.
I’ve never heard of those brands, but, now I want ribs.
There is a good story behind his product lines.
I was in Twitter jail for three months beginning in December. They let me out for one day on a Saturday in March, then put me back in. I’m done.
Tom: “Yes, I voted for Trump.”
Linda: “I couldn’t vote for Obama.”
Zelda, I’m sending you a link to two other persons to place on the lowest visibility setting.
Lib tweets lib platitude that is patently false.
Conservatives take lib to task.
Conservatives' visibility lowered for being combative.
Interesting to say “if you’re closely associated with others violating terms of service”.
You aren’t spewing hate but others like you are, so we can ban you based on collective guilt.
Gab.ai is trying to be that. And Google is actively suppressing it, such as prohibiting it from the Android store. Apple banned it, too.
They’re saying that it is hate speech, so it violates their ethical standards.
Issue 1: If Christians have to make the cake, liberals should have to deliver the service, too.
Issue 2: Liberals by defining themselves as love and educated by their own definitions have set it up to exclude ALL other viewpoints as hate speech or violations of trust and respect policies.
I can’t find the article, but there was a conservative either temporarily or permanently banned by Twitter for having a civil debate with a liberal. The liberal said it was a civil debate, and the conservative got banned for it.
If we could get President Trump to use it a little . . . who knows what could happen.
I signed up for Gab earlier today. Not following anybody yet.
Facebutt closes 583 MILLION fake accounts.

Coincidence??
I think not.
You had to know from the git-go that social media was never going to be anything but a leftist cesspool because conservatives believe in honesty (to a point), fair play and free will. Whereas the neo-comms only believe in one thing: attaining power by any means necessary.
I’ve been in Twitter jail too many times to count. I’m just surprised that I haven’t been banned. Yet.
I have a Gab account but I’ll admit that I love to trigger the left. They can dish it out but they absolutely cannot take it.
