Twitter Concepts

The blue checkmark gives your tweets more weighting

The ‘quote’ feature is helpful because then you ‘own’ the thread. There is a hide reply feature you can use if you own the thread.

Don’t just repost.

You get rewarded for being part of conversation more than trying to be a broadcaster.

One needs to be careful who you follow. If you are following too many people (like me) then you need to unfollow them.

Follow less than a few hundred.

If you need to unfollow - do a few accounts one by one. I am told the algorithm will notice.

They have more reach. Use the notification process.

Interesting - I observe that over 50% of my ‘followers’ are bots. Often pretending to be ‘women’ offering ‘pictures’.
