There are a lot of hidden rules, tips and tricks to working in Twitter.
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’.
