Heard of it? New gas lighting tech that I believe Twitter is working on for politics.

Basically Twitter will shadow ban your account.

How evil is that? What are your thoughts?

How about the big issue that Twitter is dealing with, politics. Is it right to ban a certain view point because it doesn't mess with yours, not the companies?

Sounds like the same kind of thinking behind girl-bots who respond to posters on dating sites. :laughing

BTW, it's 'bots', not 'bits'. ;)

Yea damn auto correct and typing on a phone is the suck.

Exact same thing as the girl bots but these are way more sophisticated.
 
I was shadow banned on reddit, sometimes I think I’m shadow banned here too but then I remember I’m just an asshole a lot of the time :laughing and probably on everyone’s ignore list at this point

Facebook would feed me certain posts from Mrs. and her kith and kin but not all.

Algorithms are gonna rule our world.

Basically Twitter will shadow ban your account. You post but no one sees it and Twitter bots will respond so it appears people are listening.

How evil is that? What are your thoughts? What if the bots convience you to do something?

Oh yeah. The totally evillest thing, well since Facebook's automatic back-burnering of some people's posts on their curated news feed of course.
 
Sill kind of pissed i can't just delete my FB. I had it inactive for 7 years then some douche hacked my account turning it back on. Why i don't know. Anyways, just another reason not to use social media.
 
Crazy...

Its getting pretty Orwellian around here...

Old news. Been a tool in the forum moderation toolbag for around a decade.

Unfair? maybe consider following the TOS.

I'm not sure you understand what is going on. Might be a good idea to look into what Twitter is doing before commenting.

Following the TOS has absolutely nothing to do this this conversation.
 
FWIW, it's a super useful moderation tool for repeat trolls who just create a new account as soon as one is banned / suspended. I imagine twitter will find it super useful for wrangling bots.

Please educate yourself. This isn't for bots or for trolls.
