      So I've been shadowbanned. It happened just a day after I livetweeted the Senate hearing on the censorship of conservatives on social media. It's hard not to notice when your engagement in analytics drops by over half.pic.twitter.com/fD3r24xGg6

      What this means in practical terms is that newish accounts and anyone with the Quality Filter turned on (it's on by default and most people don't even know it exists) won't see most of my tweets, or the tweets of anyone else who's QFD shadowbanned.

          Example for Quality Filter on/off: As you can see @RorschachsRules and @mutts4me_sherri are on the #ShadowBan side. Confirmed by testing with https://shadowban.eu/  #CENSORSHIP #FreeSpeechpic.twitter.com/Uvl8HWshDg

          Probably not the solution. According to @Netzdenunziant some users were able to get out of the #QFD by adding "clean" followers. In this case they used a bot net and they got out of it as soon as the number of followers concerned themselves by the QFD went below approx. 20%.

          Yet Twitter Has What Looks Like The Majority Of Conservatives QFD Banned.. So Finding 20% Would Almost Be impossible. I Haven't Posted In My Account For Years, I Have Been Back 1 Week and Already #QFDshadowbanned (Proving To Me, Their algorithm Purposely Targets Conservatives)

          Shadowban typically lasts anywhere from 3 hours up to a week.

          Yeah, @mombot was QFD shadowbanned for awhile and it expired. I don't know if mine will. It hasn't expired for @getongab and they've been on it for ages.

          Is it illegal to make a browser extension which allows to merge the two feeds so people can slowly cross over to Gab?

          Gab used to have twitter integration so posts made on gab would be mirrored on twitter, but twitter eventually pulled their ability to access the api, as I recall.

          Should be the other way around, Twitter posts should be visible while browsing Gab, with the possibility of replying using your twt account, and when doing so having the choice of posting the reply on Gab as well with a link to the tweet you're replying to.

          I looked through twitter "settings" on my homepage 🏠but you have to turn off #QFD on the "settings" link on your notifications page 🔔 https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2016/08/23/remove-twitters-new-quality-filter-censorship-setting/ … I was wondering why I wasn't seeing tweets from most of the people I followpic.twitter.com/mHwNoYAk7v
