If anyone needs an example of how the Twitter algorithm penalises small accounts like mine:
Tweet ♺ 0 ⭐ 4
Toot ♺ 245 ⭐ 585
I have 300 followers on Twitter, while the Mastodon account had 110 followers and is hosted on an instance of 115 active accounts.
Analysis of Twitter algorithm code reveals social medium down-ranks tweets about Ukraine
“With the recommendation code and API access, someone could build a tool to predict how many impressions a tweet would get.”
Another user, “seems like a terrible idea if you’re worried about large botnets which could, quite easily, be self-trained using such a model.”

Amplifying status inequality: If your following to follower ratio does not make the cut, #Twitter will algotihmicly downgrade your visibility. #TwitterAlgorithm #RecommenderAlgorithm

- if you follow over 500, and your following to follower ratio is above .6 , you'll get punished and seen less. So if you follow 800 people and have 1000 followers, unfollow 200 people
Ich finde das Twitter-Algorithmus Ding ja grade echt spannend.
Aber mag mich mal jemand kurz aufklären, ich hab da nicht mitbekommen, wie es überhaupt dazu kam?
Also, war das ein Leak? Oder beabsichtigt?
Und was heisst das für die Zukunft?
Ich hab hier Postings gesehen, die Github zeigen mit der bisher aktuellen Fork-Anzahl die wohl jetzt schon bei 6k ist?
Auf jeden Fall macht es klar, dass es keinen Sinn macht, über die eigene Bubble hinaus auf Twitter Reichweite zu bekommen. Geschweige denn darüber sinnvolle Interaktionen zu haben. 🤔

Thank you—so I wasn’t going crazy! It happened to me about every other day in recent weeks.
I posted about it to try & see if it’s a “feature not a bug” but with only a few hundred “followers”, my post never saw the light of day! #twitter #twitteralgorithm #twitterfail
Now we know it’s true. Twitter has downplayed discussions surrounding the war in #Ukraine.
I suspected that there had been some sort of silencing of Ukrainian voices and I was right.

9. Making up words or misspelling hurts
Words that are identified as “unknown language” are given 0.01, which is a huge penalty.
Anything under 1 is bad.
This is really bad. https://t.co/Bnb9ucpP2r

Very helpful analysis of the #TwitterAlgorithm ⬇️

WHAT!? I always cited my sources using URL's on the #birdsite! Great to know there's a penalty for people that are careful about spreading #misinfo. #twitteralgorithm

Yeah, but no, but yeah.
This was pushed to main branch with no oversight? Who's managing the processing at #twitter?
Doh, sorry, forget I asked that.
Some of these #TwitterAlgorithm PRs are actually fantastic!
Except that it's written in C.
alright i gotta stop what i'm doing and read the danged #TwitterAlgorithm
The various models in the algo lack the data... so I guess you'd need to go grab some data from mastodon to train the models #twitteralgorithm
(the .txt files with the offensive words is misssing :(
Naming the repo, “The Algorithm” is weird on its own. Releasing it as AGPL is highly suspicious. Randomly deleting features like IsDemocrat and IsRepublican on a whim really completes the picture that this is a sham to make it seem like melon is doing good things #TwitterAlgorithm
