Yeah, I remember my regrets not flying over the Atlantic to your shop for your #Colombo event.

Your accounts are missed at the #PlatformKnownPreviouslyAsTwitter, but I understand your reasons for not perpetuating ElMu’s #AlgorithmicApartheid.

I hope you’re doing well.

I’m still trying to train my BlueSky algorithm, although I agree there is #AlgorithmicApartheid at #ThePlatformKnownPreviouslyAsTwitter.

Some good people did not #ExitX and stayed over there, so I’m an #XRemainer with the #remnant of the #Resistance to #Trump & his #GOP #Maga #FifthColumn.

Yes.

I saw the panopticon concept on an episode of MIDSOMER MURDERS, and it was discussed as a theory on a LOST forum.

Who knew we’d trade light-and-mirrors for algorithms and shadowbans?

ElMu’s #AlgorithmicApartheid.

Thanks. I’ve actually seen a rejuvenated #Resistance there in recent months, with added followers & follows. Our mutual #amplification may be “preaching to the choir” as a result of ElMu’s #AlgorithmicApartheid, but I’ve “trained” my algorithms to ignore much of the negativity.

Although supposedly not, I think I’m #shadowbanned at #ThePlatformKnownPreviouslyAsTwitter, or what I call #AlgorithmicApartheid. That includes #deboosting of #tweets, and #tweaking the #algorithm to create #apartheid, a #segregation of persons or #genres that has a #chillingeffect on #freespeech.

@mluckovich.bsky.social posted an example of #AlgorithmicApartheid in his account at #ThePlatformKnownPreviouslyAsTwitter. In this case, the #apartheid or #segregation of #genres is #censorship of a post that earns Mike a #rightlivelihood, clearly #restraintoftrade by a billionaire #broligarch.

Mark, you made it almost 16 years. You’d probably still be there if not for #PresidentByProxy #Musk.

I despise his policy of #AlgorithmicApartheid, and planned to leave there by January 20th, but I may stay with the remnant of #Resisters.

As for #Trump, #DisobeyInAdvance as a #DissidentInWaiting.

So, at #ThePlatformKnownPreviouslyAsTwitter, you are a #ResisterInResidence and a #DissidentInWaiting.

I’ve been inclined to #ExitX on January 20th, but it would certainly be good to be defy #Musk’s #AlgorithmicApartheid and remain a #dissident there to #DisobeyInAdvance.

It’s #AlgorithmicApartheid, a tweaking of the #algorithm to enact #apartheid, a #segregation of persons or #genres that has a #chillingeffect on #freespeech.

Users depending on #distribution of posts to earn a #rightlivelihood by #links elsewhere that were suppressed experienced #restraintoftrade.

Well, I take some exception to that, because I’m still there, although planning to #ExitX by January 20th. There are still many great cartoonists and artists providing original content. I agree, Musk pushes #AlgorithmicApartheid, but there’s still bona fide humans there to challenge and resist it.

I’ve hashtagged here. I used them quite often at #ThePlatformKnownPreviouslyAsTwitter. In fact, in 12 years there, my account was “limited” 3 times because some #algorithm thought I was a bot using them to control discussions, even with trending hashtags!!! I soon called it #AlgorithmicApartheid.

No one listened to me when I hashtaghed it as “#AlgorithmicApartheid” at #ThePlatformKnownPreviouslyAsTwitter.
