I use to have 3.6k following 1.8k followers a month ago and would get hundreds of likes on posts like nothing, then in late april it just all stopped, been getting nothing but near daily ghost bans for any interaction, and when I browse on posts, I am starting to see this same strange effect not only affect me, but it seems to be a universal thing on the whole platform

I would see posts with over 20-30 comments and only like 8-11 replies would show up, half of the mutuals I used to know and would dm me lost their accounts, and my followers dropped down to 1.6k within days and it seems to continue to drop at a slow pace, it's unbearably insufferable and depressing, and even big accounts I follow that post memes post half as many posts liked they used to as well which is baffling, like has there been a major algorithm update recently that's making the platform even more unbearable than it already is or something?

like I had 3.6k folliwng 1.8k followers a month ago and would get hundreds of likes on posts like nothing, then in late april it just all stopped, been getting nothing but near daily ghost bans for any interaction, and when I browse on posts, I am starting to see this same strange effect not only affect me, but it seems to be a universal thing on the whole platform

I would see posts with over 25-30 comments and only like 8-11 replies would show up, half of the people I used to know and would dm me lost their accounts, and my followers dropped down to 1.6k within days and it seems to continue to drop at a slow pace, it's unbearably insufferable and depressing, and even big accounts I follow that post memes post half as many posts liked they used to as well which is baffling, like has there been a major algorithm update recently that's making the platform even more unbearable than it already is or something?

>no mega algorithm that monitors every single post or tweet you make

>doesn't shadow/ghost ban you for talking against billionaires

[yes this is a guaranteed lower tweepcred drop by 17-20 points if you talk against eIon or palantr or even any russlan/israeIi related government accounts if you don't have a blue checkmark]

>doesn't have a social credit system, unlike twitter that has tweepcred which is satirically dystopian

>doesn't have an openly anti-user friendly experience that forces you into thinking of buying a blue checkmark to save your account if it's on low tweepcred

>and has an actual moderation team, it ain't perfect but it's got people than a volatile automated system.

it makes me wished more people were on the platform because man I don't feel like I have a gun pointed at my head at every moment I live and breathe compared to browsing on on twitter.

from personal experience, yesterday I had to pass an arkose challenge to unlock my twitter account out of nowhere and got a temporary label as well, but when I enabled two factor authentication, where I used the google authenticator app to provide an additional layer of security for my acc, it strangely lifted after twelvish hours?

that kinda surprised me knowing how weird and random these labels can come out of nowhere, I have no idea why twitter continues to get worse every month, i guess mr-e is trying to make the platform as miserable as him, but this is my personal experience on how I found out on how to reduce the chances of getting this random labels or shadow/ghost bans.

side note: I know I really hate using grok but this time I did ask it a question and strangely the advice it gave really helped on navigating this insufferable platform.

just to think if this platform wasn't trying to be so insufferable I wouldn't be doing all these thingamajig tests and questions just to try to avoid being zapped outta nowhere for trying to be a normal person on twitter.
