Has anyone noticed their account on X being blocked by people they wouldn't expect? I was following a well-known journalist, making nothing but respectful comments, and found out when I tried to reply to someone quoting her -- that I couldn't because she blocked me. I am reminded of a thread where Elon was saying that blue-checks blocking you would affect your visibility and might remove your check. The idea is that if enough verified users think you're spam then you probably are.
If this person's account blocked me without her action then this would indicate an abuse of this method to affect users that are not wanted by those who are able to put that block in there for you.
I think we should expect such effects going forward, of the official consensus becoming a route to social 'greasing of skids' or a barrier to haply going one's way. These are the ways of psychosocial nudging onto the approved political paths that Versetzung applies, and while the Stasi was infamous for doing so to wreck people it disapproved of, it is also applicable in reverse, to shine their apples and promote them to genteel society. A sort of nepotism of like minds.
All of this will make these proprietary platforms more and more intolerable to me, at least, going forward, and why I sound an alarm now to alert folks. You're more observant than most, and probably are sounding an alarm that will ring bells in the recollections of others that noticed such a thing happen, but didn't put two and two together. I got suspended right away on X, after Yaccarino signed on, and the longer I'm off it, the happier I am about that. I'm sorry it's happening to you, though, because it's discomfiting you as it would me. Were I still there, anyway.
Thanks!
