Think Twitter is WAY worse. Feel like my account is throttled, can’t get support to acknowledge that this might even be a problem or even definitively tell me I’m imagining it, and it’s not.

Here someone might ignore my response to them, but anyone who follows sees my posts and if they repost it, it goes out to theirs as well. That’s enough for me.

I can live with the human heuristic-based shadow banning — I understand it and if I really cared could overcome It by making good, interesting replies frequently until grudgingly everyone felt the value I contributed merited a follow.

But the algo on Twitter just caps my reach (as far as I can tell) and there is no merit-based way to overcome that, and no recourse except to quit.

Which I still might one day, but the schadenfreude I experience over there is just too good right now.
