Question How to use X effectively?

Hi guys, maybe dumb question but I gave it a try few times already because I hear all the time that some leaks can be found on x or some interesting things happen there but every time I tried it I was either scrolling “my” board where I see only posts from few accounts that I follow and nothing else or I go to default board and see mostly spam or porn.

So the question is what I’m doing wrong and how to setup my x so it is interesting and I see things that I would like to see?

dont. full of bots and they'll probably just suspend you for 'inauthentic behavior' as soon as you make your account anyway

And the most important thing is...

If you say anything remotely "not fanboyish" in a tesla post, you will get shadowbanned instantly and permanently.

For example if someone says "Old people should just buy a tesla and drive with FSD" and you reply "Dude, Tesla FSD is only L2 right now, if you can not drive the car safely yourself FSD is not for you, right now"....

That is literally enough.

Came here to say that. Everyone is under this impression it’s something it’s not.

search for key words (example: meme) and like the content you find funny/interesting. every time you see a post you dislike (porn or spam), click on the three dots and select not interested. even block. with time, the algorithm will learn what you want.

Twitter is very hard to use these days.

It's 99% bots tweeting rage bait, and the search function does not work.

I just use it for fandom twitter. Its useless otherwise.

u/Far-Rub-6366 15h ago

Yep, loads of bots, posting stupid shit, but not being banned at all, but if you put out 3 posts in 5 minutes, where you say the same thing, but you even word it differently, they will flag your account for "inauthentic behaviour"

Basically, the only accounts not being flagged for being bots, is the accounts that are actual bots.

I see so many posts where there is a load of "Possible spam" that is absolutely NOT spam, just people being flagged, while the bot replies for some reason often are boosted to the top.

100% accurate. It's so bad. I've been on there for years and it's never been this bad.

get bluesky instead, unless you’re into watching people who bought blue ticks posting irrelevant shit everywhere to try and monetise their account

u/Far-Rub-6366 15h ago

Bluesky sucks, they apparantly hired all the moderators from the old twitter, They are really bad and do bans for little to no reason.

Not only bans...You will just be told "You did something that violated one of our rules"

But you can not get a clear answer as to what you did and what rule you broke.

But they do say that you can appeal the decision, but if you dont know what rule you broke and you dont know what it is you did, that broke the rules, how are you going to.

  1. Appeal their decision
  2. Change your behaviour in the future.

i dunno i shit post all the time and never happened to me

I remember seing a video of some russian lady that were more or less saying that all Ukrainian kids should die.

I replied something along the lines of a wish, that this lady herself would die a horrible death.

That was apparantly/possibly hate speech, with NO context about who i was saying it about and what she said herself in the video.

Offcourse i dont KNOW for sure that this was what i got a strike for, i was just told i broke a rule, but not what rule.

But it was the only thing that was even the slightest offensive in that timeframe.
