Unfortunately yes - there's still some outrage content allowed, but for the most part we can't have discussions about anything controversial as we used to on Twitter. Now, you may do so with your inner circle, but no one will see it. And depending on what it is, it may also get you banned - for example, you have noted that anything controversial that the algos might construe as "misogynistic" will likely earn you a permanent vacation. Anti-Jewish content doesn't even trigger a permaban in the same way.
AI is making Twitter useless
when i look at view counts on my tweets the ones that are most negative and insulting get no views
so for example if i tweet something like "you're a stupid bitch fuck you" the view count will be 0.
only explanation for that is that AI detects negativity and hides them. i know it for a fact too because whenever i post such a tweet a second later the page reloads, but it doesn't reload if i post a positive tweet.
in the past it would do this too, but you would get a warning saying "visibility limited" - now it doesn't give you a warning anymore, but it still reloads the same exact way as it used to when giving a "visibility limited" warning and it is clearly seen in view count that it is visibility limited.
what this actually means is that you have been completely negated. in the aggregate what people see on X is not what anybody posts - but what AI filters decide people should see
yes most of your posts will be seen by somebody so it makes you feel like you matter - but that's an illusion
because in the end it is AI that determines how many posts of what type will be seen and by whom

when we lived in USSR we thought America was a free country. because in USSR the tyranny was in your face, but in America you have the Deep State with the veneer of Freedom and Democracy.
most people's minds cannot penetrate beyond the surface. they take everything at face value. they think if they get to vote it means they are free. and nostr:npub1acg6thl5psv62405rljzkj8spesceyfz2c32udakc2ak0dmvfeyse9p35c thinks if a meta-analysis study is "peer reviewed" then it is objective / scientific
well i have bad news for everybody. if you found it hard to understand how manipulation worked before AI you will find it impossible to understand how it works in the age of AI
