*TWITTER RANKING & BOOST/DEBOOST ALGORITHM*
- How it works and hidden traps

#Thread

#Twitter #opensource #code #Github #blueTick #ElonMusk twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
1. In March 2023 Elon Musk announced that Twitter is going to open source the algorithm and its code base to address the concerns of the spread of misinformation and the manipulation of public opinion through in-house censorship.

#Twitter #opensource #code #Github #blueTicktwitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
2. Twitter mentioned in its blog post that they uploaded the source code in two repositories on GitHub, the code sharing platform.

3. How Twitter Algorithm works for a user?
User actions that are positive:
1. Likes = 30x
2. Retweets = 20x
3. Images or videos = 2x
4. English UI = 0.5x tweet = 0.2x
5. Follows from seeing tweet = 4x
6. Trending topics or news = 1.1x
7. Verified = 1x
8. Good… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
4. How Twitter Algorithm works for a user?User actions that are negative:
1. Reported tweet is reduced by 700x
2. Multiple hashtags
3. Bad follower to the following ratio, e.g. if you follow 10k people and have 10k followers
4. Only posting URLs
5. Only images
6.… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
5.
1. Adding images to your Tweets gives it a 2X Boost.
2. Both images and videos lead to a nice 2x boost.
3. external links get you marked as spam. Unless you have enough engagement.
4. Being Muted, Blocked, unfollows, spam reports, and abuse reports downgrade your user… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
6. Twitter has three primary data points: engagement data such as likes, retweets, and replies, user data such as mutes, unfollows, and spam reports, and the follower graph indicating who follows you.

7. Repercussions of engagement
Words with misspellings are considered as an unknown language with a rating of 0.01. Double-checking your spelling is crucial for reaching a wider audience on Twitter, especially if you're not subscribed to Twitter Blue and can't edit your tweets.… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
8. Twitter's algorithm categorizes users into clusters based on the type of content they regularly post.
The algorithm puts you into a grouping of similar profiles. It uses that to extend tweet reach beyond your followers to similar people. If you do “out of network” content,… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
9. Twitter has been actively updating and modifying its Algorithm Coding since making it open source 2 months ago. But the most important add-on to the code is one line code snippet for the BLUE TICK OWNERS.

#Twitter #opensource #code #Github #blueTick #ElonMusk twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
10. So this is the one-line code snippet for which all of you pay $8 for...!!!!

#Twitter #opensource #code #Github #blueTick #ElonMusk twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
11. This Algorithm is ranking users based on a large number of parameters, including your reputation, your Twitter circle and your verified Twitter Blue Account.
#Twitter #opensource #code #Github #blueTick twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
12. Now despite all the claims of the previous censorship regime of Twitter done and dusted. Twitter code reveals that There is an "OutOfNetworkReplyPenalty" THAT WEIGHS 10X MORE THAN THE BOOST TWITTER BLUE ASSIGNS.
#Twitter #opensource #code #Github #blueTick twitter.com/i/web/status/1… ImageImage
13. Basically the "OutOfNetworkReplyPenalty" makes you VIRTUALLY INVISIBLE even with your Blue Checkmark. It also keeps Retweets from getting any traction, even if Retweeted by large accounts of 100k+ Followers.
#Twitter #opensource #code #Github #blueTick twitter.com/i/web/status/1… ImageImage
14. In addition to this, there is also Coding for "EarlyBird" and "Blender" Parameters. Blender search can improve or reduce ability of a tweet to be found in search or not found in a search by 3X to 10X.
#Twitter #opensource #code #Github #blueTick twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
15. It should be clear by now that Censorship on Twitter is far from being eliminated Elon Musk needs to do a lot to make it actually work in censor free manner.

The Warfare of Narrative 🧵
Did you know:
🎭How foreign-funded proxies peddle propaganda against India?
🎭How does the Media become the biggest source of propaganda?
🎭How in the name of Media Freedom and Fact checking, narratives are built to twist the social opinions for electoral gains to engineer regime change?
🪔 Let's find out the answer to all these questions in the next part of the series:
Regime Change in India
Part 21Image
1. The Smokescreen

In the previous parts of the series, we have seen in ample detail how Deep State proxies and fronts fund their proxies in India to engineer a narrative and make complete propaganda at scale with such narratives.
(x.com/IamTheStory__/…)
(x.com/IamTheStory__/…)
But the biggest question is, why would they spend millions of dollars just to spread disinformation?
Or is it misinformation??
Misinformation is false information that is spread, regardless of whether there is an intent to mislead.
Disinformation is misinformation that is knowingly (intentionally) spread.
So now we know that the context of information and intention both can be twisted to change information into misinformation and use that to create disinformation.
But what is the objective?
The objective is simple:
To control the polity by fracturing the landscape of politics of a geography or country.
2. The Riddle which was never solved

The biggest challenge for the Deep State in Asia is India and its present Nationalist Government. Led by Shri Narendra Modi. Two consecutive terms were somehow swallowed by political opponents and their deep state backers. But now the 3rd term for Modi was not at all tenable.
India's growing economic might and self-reliance, fueled by "MAKE IN INDIA" manufacturing, was hurting the global military industrial complex and its deep state backers. The desperation to unseat Modi did hit a crescendo during the COVID pandemic when India went on to save half of the world with its own COVID-19 vaccine.
Now it was about time to act and solve the Modi Riddle and checkmate India's economic might to open the floodgates of economic loot and scoot for foreign MNCs.
But what was the best way to solve the "India Riddle"?
It called for some massive funding and the creation of a disinformation network at an unprecedented scale.
Enter Google and the George Soros-funded Poynter Institute. Two of the biggest funders and backers of Left liberal propaganda proxies.
In the year 2020, when Google News initiative Startup lab was launched by Internews and The News minute in India it was beginning of something sinister and debased.
In the next parts, we will see how these two entities funded and engineered a massive media proxy network to spread disinformation and at a scale populace of India has never seen.

Meet Tommy Genesis aka Genesis Yasmine Mohanraj
A Vancouver, Canada based rapper
She has done her makeup in the video of one of her songs titled "True Blue" just to show her wokeness towards Hindu culture.
Is it a coincidence?
Not at all
By the way Genesis is bisexual. That sums up her cultural mindset.
VC: @YearOfTheKraken
1. And she tried showing her type of India in this song as some "Freak of India"!! Image
2. So as per wokes this is how India looks like!! Image

Audrey Truschke is back with a new book to teach India and Indians about its ancient history🧵
The propaganda to plagiarize and appropriate our truthful history is back with a timeliness dating to 5000 years. Image
Image
1. The platform

As usual Zia UsIslam from the Hindu arranged for a propaganda interview and The Hindu aptly published Audrey Truschke History propaganda interview!!
So smooth for an anti Hindu anti India newspaper. Image
2. The Aryan question
As usual Audrey Truschke deftly labelled the very origin of India's human population As "MIGRANTS" by saying that I side stepped word "Aryan" to avoid controversy!!
But her point- Nothing was indigenous to India including it's Vedic culture. Image
