Remember when Elon got rid of all the bots?
verify your X account
seeing a few huge positive trends online and in the world
for example, elon musk reposting levelsio, a self-taught indie hacker / solo builder - big win and culture shift towards bootstrapped founders
and I love it because it's a much more humane way to do it vs chasing to raise funds

TIL when you’re signed out of X profile pages show only original tweets in descending order of likes
It also won’t let you view profiles of users with small followings without signing in

X: the everything [in the tab bar] app
I concede that it's very difficult to bootstrap recommendations for users who refuse to follow anyone. (Warpcast faces this challenge too).
...but I logged into a brand new account recently to find these 7 suggested tweets:

The Raygun post escaped containment on Twitter. It's been a while since I had one go beyond CT. Observations:
Following is truly dead: close to 1m impressions converted to 6 new followers.
It went through four distinct phases:
1. Breakout: need 10+ likes in the first 5 minutes or it's dead.
2. My following, mostly Ethereum and Farcaster.
3. Poasters: bluesky bios, dirtbag ironists on left and right, tech and postrats. Don't think it was too politically coded so there was something for everyone. Everyone still in on the joke at this point.
4. Normies: journos, assistant professors, accounts that send GIF replies. This is when they started taking the "well, actually" bait.
Probably won't make it to the circle of "true normies" beyond that.

Took them 3 days, but 𝕏 finally lifted the automated red flag from my account after a manual review.
I realize there‘a no easy way around this as they’re constantly warding off hordes of spammers and illicit account takeovers, but still, not a great experience as a paying customer.

Thank you Twitter, very cool.
1.) What
I think today might have been the dumbest day in the history of Twitter.
Why would I use Warpcast when X has such high and valuable engagement? (The bots aren’t even trying to hide anymore)

What the hell? What's happening here.
Also look at the dates.

how often do you use X compared to Farcaster, and why?
new automated badges on accounts in x
my X feed rn
if I liked your pump/dunk in the past week, yes, this is about you
Removing public likes has:
1) Made me realize I'm a snoop. I found lots of interesting stuff in the likes tab of people I know. Great way to quickly find "more like this" when you discover someone new. Now I bounce and don't engage.
2) Immediately made me more tribalistic. I am much more likely to smash like on pumps and dunks from "my team" since only the author sees my embarrassing behavior.
Neither seems good!

"Farcaster has a problem with spam and low effort replies"
X has a problem with hundreds of blatant impersonators (some gold verified) in the replies of important announcements, boosted by thousands of obvious bots, and any one of these links will drain your wallet within 3 clicks
I think FC is doing pretty okay
