Why Twitter is not for The People

I used to love Twitter… when it served its Users.

Previously…

You would create an account and almost overnight, you would have a new realm of friendships and social circles to explore digitally. It was engaging and it was fascinating.

What I would usually expect… because you know, I am a digital media specialist with 25 years of experience.

Now…

You are at best, frenemies with an algorithm. And when it is nice to you, you get extremely high engagement rate because you are of course good at what you do…or it is extremely odd… where interesting comments with constructive material on Trending Topics earn you a very stark reality of the technocracy that we live in…. Zero Impressions.

This is what usually happens… on a trending topic… does not matter when or what… A Pay Wall.

What to do about it

If Twitter suspends your profile for no reason… take it to Better Business Bureau and it will usually be sorted out within a day or two.

This nonsense happened to me for no reason whatsoever for the first time… and I attempted recovering my account over the course of the month through their user tools to no avail. It was extremely unsettling. It is abusive.

If more individuals took responsibility for their account suspensions, then maybe it would happen less.

Report them to the relevant state and federal agencies. You pay taxes for a reason, those taxes are to protect your Individual Human Rights against a Fearful, oppressive Majority.

Write your Local, State, and Federal representatives. Again, you pay taxes for a reason.

Then I got on Mastodon. There are other platforms.

So I would recommend not spending so much time on Twitter as it is usually fruitless these days for any sense of reality.

Twitter is a digital social game… let me rephrase that — Twitter is a digital socialist game.

You login, play, and logout. You do not get anything for it unless they say so.

Thank you.
