Tweets with hashtags and links do worse.

It would seem anti-woke tweets do very well. I see such tweets a lot when logged out.

Replying to an account with an unverified account is automatically collapsed. Only twitter blue accounts get to post replies in comments and not have those comments be collapsed. They can also post replies to their own tweets without the replies being collapsed.



> Tweets with hashtags and links do worse

I don't understand the rationale... My feeds are mostly comments with a link to the article, and following a hashtag is the way to form a community. What does Twitter want to be ? Some glorified public chatroom ?

I have no idea if this is true. However... I have a coworker that was just banned from Reddit, her daughter is a high school swimmer, and there is a trans issue going on. I saw the comment she was banned for, while I don't necessarily agree with all of her points, it was absolutely not ban-worthy. She is waiting on an appeal that won't come. I've now seen with my own eyes that moderators and at least some admins at Reddit are shutting down anything that takes "the wrong position" on trans topics as "hate", when it's definitely not. Let's say over-woke to promote a consensus.

So, my question to you is this... How could we tell if anti-woke tweets do well on Twitter, or if they are overly censored and penalized on other sites?

How can you be sure it's not your reference and the systems you are comparing to are fair or not?


There’s a lot of anti-trans stuff on Reddit. Here’s one with 800+ comments.

I’d have to see your coworker’s post to really know if it was hate speech.

You sound like the guy from the shoe factory: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idb_qsAAe1c


All I can do is tell what she wrote wasn’t hateful by any stretch.

But, did you post the right link? I read a post that said a trans person shot up a school which happened and says “Reddit pushes trans propoganda”, is that hate? The top comment says they didn’t use pronouns. Was the hate in the rest of the comments?
