    What's the point of following someone if their tweets don't show up on your timeline? Maybe that's not necessarily "shadow-banning," but it's an inscrutably weird manipulation of the Twitter user experience https://blog.twitter.com/official/en_us/topics/company/2018/Setting-the-record-straight-on-shadow-banning.html …pic.twitter.com/meNmQPrCBN

        Or what’s the point of tweeting when there’s no audience? It’s the same as talking to yourself. Lame.

        I'm not aware that I am shadowbanned; the "Am I shadowbanned" sites say I am not, but I sure do feel like I am typing to myself most of the time. Were I not apparently addicted to it I'd surely leave.

        That's literally the definition of shadowbanning. Arguing it isn't is like arguing "No, No No, you've got it all wrong. The sky isn't blue at all, it's azure, actually." Orwell much?

        Not only that but I've also seen tweets by people I don't follow in my timeline where they were retweeted by someone I also don't follow. It's happened to me several times (that I noticed), probably more times where I didn't notice.

        I get tweets from people I don't follow show up just because they are followed by Obama. Whom I don't follow. 🙄🙄🙄

        So, technically, not shadow-banning, but in effect, shadow-banning.

        To think they admit to rating speech from best to worst.. They rate speech/content/tone/engagement/exchanging of ideas/emotions.. They. Rate. That. They are telling you, we manage your “timeline”, we think he is better than she... It’s one big cluster fk of racism,sexism etc.

        Facebook has been doing it for ages… that's why I deleted it. A page with thousands of followers has an organic reach of less than 200? Give me a break.

        Once again, the argument is dishonest by making it about word/label manipulation. Jack can call it wtf ever he wants, but the fact remains: your tweets don't show in my feed. Am I following you just to make it easier to find you when using the search option? ‹we are here›

        So........ they're saying their code base is riddled with bugs and not working properly then?? Maybe investors should think twice and move their money to a better made, less buggy product?

        Twitter is a lousy communications systems. Our follower lists are anchor that keeps here. Vbulletin, Xenforo, and similar forums are much better, with much more ability to style posts, make long or short posts as one wants, indented threads, topic based sub-forums, etc.
