[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So now "#TwitterFiles2" is trending, with Bari Weiss breathlessly posting a thread about "OMG, WE DISCOVERED A SECRET BLACKLIST!!!!1!"

While the rest of us are "yawn, that's the shadowbans, the world has known about that for a long time already."

Yet more proof Twitter was taken over by clueless noobs.[/quote]

Bari Weiss isn’t exactly an intellectual heavyweight. [/quote]

There's a certain irony to having an "anti-cancel-culture warrior" like Bari Weiss combing through private messages at Twitter looking for dirt to cancel people with.[/quote]

DP.  She’d probably counter that she’s a reporter doing a public service.[/quote]

Lmao. Everything she is “revealing” has been reported on for at least 2 years by Vice and other outlets.

MAGA people are so credulous. [/quote]

I thought the issue was twitter higher ups denying shadow bans.[/quote]

What exactly is a "shadow ban"? I thought a shadow ban is when you are essentially muted. You can post, but nobody can see your tweet. What Weiss is describing is "deboosting" which means that you can tweet, and anyone following you can see your tweet, but it might not show up in searches and won't be eligible to trend. If deboosting is bad, explain this:

None of this is new, it's all been known for 2+ years.

Twitter has several mechanisms, for example not having your replies show up unless the user clicks for more replies, not having you show up in search results, et cetera.

Seriously, these big "bombshell revelations" are old news.[/quote]
