Well @elonmusk here’s two bugs:

1. There is an alarming increase in the number of tweets showing as only links in DM. In the past, this was a definite sign the tweet is censored.

2. In replies to other folks tweets, my tweets are only getting a tiny fraction of the views they… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Once, I noticed that a tweet turned to a link in a DM after posting it a third time.

I discuss breaking news with on average, maybe 7 people (2+2+3) if that. I do it to be nice because they are my friends.

I share what I consider the days biggest news with other news junkies.… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

If a tweet is getting ten percent engagement, I’m getting too few impressions.

And look, the link is not showing in Dm’s.

These Dm link issues always seem to happen with tweets that expose the government. Like it has brakes thrown on it.

This tweet doesn’t have as much engagement tho. But it was from a Sunday, when everyone is out.

Looks like another gubermint tweet affected here.

In the past, once something is demoted to a link only in DM it’s visibility is reduced.

And it’s a tweet exposing how gubermint has control over tweet recommendations. 😹@elonmusk

Brake it real good. 💃 🪩

😹😹😹😹😹😹😹

What do you know, the last tweet in this thread exposing what’s happening here is censored! 😹

Finally, I’m letting you know, that the above DM link issue went away with Elon. It came back like 2 weeks ago and is at least 5 times worse than ever. And like I said, it’s coincidentally gov related tweets. 🤷‍♀️

Could it have been enabled again by accident with DM encryption… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
