Is there any possibility "deboosting" is linked to number of followers? Just checked several "TERFy" or "gender critical" accounts with large (over 5K) followings, and there was no reply deboosting?
Who knows what the logic is. I don't engage in trolling and only tend to post stuff backed by data or carefully worded objections to the trans narrative. But something must have triggered it.
Reading that article, there seem to be some odd reasons used by the algorithm, e.g. "whether you've confirmed your email address" or tweeted at accounts that don't follow you. But that article is over a year old, so who knows now?
I HAVE twitted at accounts that don't follow me. Is that against Twitter rules?
No--In reading that article, it sounds like the algorithm looks for *patterns* of behavior on Twitter which lead to someone's replies being sequestered at the bottom under "see more replies."
