We also mentioned briefly before that Twitter has gone on a rampage every now and then, trying to eradicate fake bot accounts. This means that if you get the timing wrong and buy Twitter followers just before Twitter has decided to do a purge, then you might wake up the next day to see...
Two, Musk has a tendency to overpromise and later deliver on a much more modest scale. A more realistic read of his grand scheme for Twitter is that he’ll probably purge a few tens of thousands of bot accounts, and tweak some rules around who gets banned. There’s no getting around ...
Twitter’s post announcing the impending shutdown of Vine’s apps–but not thevine.cosite archiving our clips–said nothing about that. Twitter’sstruggles to monetize Vinehad to have been an issue, but I’d like to think that the Vine below may also help explain what went wrong. ...
Sacks turned and walked out, leaving the engineers — who had gotten little engagement from Musk on anything technical — slack-jawed. His imperiousness in the middle of a session he appeared to be botching was something to behold. (Musk did not respond to multiple...
(Hint: Elon did not, in any way, “solve” the bot problem and likely encouraged it.) The odd bit is that it isn’t just people landing in BlueSky from X. There are a number of high profile people who have been coming over from Threads, and I am not sure why. I mean yes, ...

N NoBot MB{ 28 Nov 2022 Sheeesh, that's daunting. Very unlikely to be sustainable on the long. Therefore apparently a bruteforce fix for s.th. he/they realised is mission critical. I like the commitment it demonstrates. Hope they will find s.h. more efficient in the future. Ever...
@deriz_no_bot wants to know: when did psychiatry start? well, formal psychiatry can be traced back to the 19th century. we used to have a group of doctors called alienists and their job was to understand and treat and be with people who had an alienation from the rest of society ...
particularly because it's so different than all the other roles earlier on in the game. i think support or the bot carry role are both fairly forgiving, bot carry can be demanding on your positioning, but at the very least you're playing with her an ally there, somebody who will help ...
