Twitter's recent actions have raised concerns about censorship once again. Despite giving Elon Musk the benefit of the doubt for a while now, my engagement and views on Twitter have consistently declined over the past three months. Moreover, it's becoming increasingly evident that accounts discussing "controversial" topics, ranging from medical issues to the World Economic Forum and climate change, are also facing similar repercussions.
Nothing changed after Elon took over for me. Still shadow banned and I think it's way worse if you are not paying. Why would I pay at this point? Disappointing but not surprising.
I paid one month and they suspended my account. Then they took a second payment. I figured out how to cancel my Twitter Blue subscription. I think Elon is all right as an industrialist and a human being, but X is going downhill.
And your fear is justified. The links I provided in the post are pretty convincing (at least to me) that this immune escape variant will emerge. Anyone who has had Covid (before a vaccination) will have some innate immunity. Pure Bloods will brush this off or may have mild symptoms. Vaccinated folks without antivirals before their infections will be overwhelmed and probably die. This is Black Plaque stuff here. Bring out your dead… the truck comes twice a day.
How to sink a boat; get everyone on it to do the same thing, run to the same side. Plus, aint it funny how the guy and his minions/(the gov'ment) who wanted a chip in your hand /brain, the company thats 'in charge' of a thousands of satellites that can see your freckles from space would dare to censor...oh, wait, that's just a competent dictatorship. Leading us to dissolution of real society.
Ah, I am sworn off YouTube...(due to their recent change in TOS, what you cant say about the jabs now...screw em)....but many see through Musks facade, also Amazing Polly and James Corbett...Musk is a huckster fa sure...thanks Diana Barahona...
So after reading this I went on Twitter "X" and discovered that I, too, was no longer following Chief Nerd. I have been a long time follower. Now I'm wondering how many other accounts am I no longer following without knowing it.
My account had few followers but due, I think, to my comments about psychiatry, which were duly substantiated, my tweets stopped getting any engagement, it was as if I didn't exist. I closed my account yesterday.
One thing I have quite enjoyed about Elon Mask is I get to constantly re-use the image of him mask wearing in the CureVac facility. I try to stuff into every article I've covered since the start of his take-over.
Called him a ConOp from Day One, even predicting the exact pathroute he'd go down (an 'X everything app ... that datamines everything you do').
Articles so far. Haven't deviated from calling him a ConOp:

Do not discount SubStack not playing a similar game. It is becoming a more regular annoyance to be told I can't like or comment or both on most of my reading list (including this stack) unless I am a paid sub. - Let's see if this comment gets through...
So glad you are still here with us on Substack! We all knew this would happen if paying attention. Elon, is not going to pay those fines . Question is, when will they come after Substack? And, what is plan B, then?
I don't use Twitter myself to post much original content, I do that elsewhere. I most lurk and RT or QT to save content. However, I have observed everything you mentioned. I specifically see it heavily on Jessica Rose and Jikkyleaks.
I also was excited about Elon, which is why I joined Twitter when it looked like he might take over. I was giving him the benefit of the doubt too, but his actions and especially the hires are very contrary to the message he's been pushing. It's super sketchy.
Yes I do believe Twitter is silently censoring, I am at the point of not bothering, but if a good post is seen I will share it on GAB, GAB is very good at not censoring as far as I can tell. I don't for one minute think Elon Musk is our friend!!
“I've seen people with custom domains say that the Twitter/Substack fight isn't affecting them, but most (not all) of our Substack posts, which use a custom domain, are being blocked by Twitter.
Has anyone had luck with finding a way around this? I suspect that Twitter is checking the DNS record for the URL being posted, and blocking if it's a CNAME with the value target.substack-custom-domains.com.”
Del Bigtree spoke of this on the recent Highwire episode. His X posts are now throttled with extremely low numbers compared to the past couple years. Engagement is down significantly, as in the thousands compared to the recent past likes and retweets.

None of this matters anymore. And mass extinction event is headed our way “The Coming Pandemic of the Vaccinated” https://open.substack.com/pub/lawrencebutts/p/the-coming-pandemic-of-the-vaccinated?r=gjogf&utm_medium=ios&utm_campaign=post
my fear is that a new variant will wipe them out... esp those who took 3+ shots. But even the unvaxxed should be cognizant of this bioweapon

Grim...
Yup - as bad as it gets - well all out nuclear war would be worse.

Look up Megan Rose: she has a different perspective on Musk you may find interesting.

Megan Rose transcribed and uncensored. (I even got a transcript of her video on Queen Elizabeth before the last one was taken down by YouTube)

Check out Mercola's article today on hard evidence of censorship and the intention to make it even more drastic.

Aha! I humbly retract my conjecture

there’s a setting whenever we publish a post whether to make comments available to everyone or paid subs only.
🤷♀️

Twitter bumped me off Jessica Rose’s account, I had to re-follow.
they are doing it systematically to break connections.
Could it be this issue?
