“Freedom of Speech, not Freedom of Reach - our enforcement philosophy which means, where appropriate, restricting the reach of Tweets that violate our policies by making the content less discoverable.”

Surprise! Our great 'X' CEO has brought back one more bad thing that we hated about twitter 1.0: Shadowbanning. And they’ve given it a new name: "Freedom of Speech, Not Reach".

Perhaps the new approach by X is an improvement? At least they would “politely” tell you when you’re being shadow banned.

I think freedom of speech implies that people have the autonomy to decide what they want to see, rather than being manipulated by algorithm codes. Now it feels like they’re saying, “you can still have your microphone... We're just gonna cut the power to it if you say something we don't like”.

Since when a rule change to (any site whatsoever) related to technology in any way? Yeah, we get it, you HATE "Xtwitter" and want it to burn but please... you are beating a dead horse at this rate. Just let it go.

That, or the mods around here need a reality check and start dropping some chill pills (i.e temp. bans) on users like OP..
