I had this impression of being throttled too, the stats I can see just don't add up and PJ Watson said it's a myth that Right-wing accounts are boosted on Iwitter anyway, I wrote this on one of my websites, I link it below, thanks for your article, it is very interesting, somehow I'm happy not to be alone "not to be the only one" experiencing thsi disgrace:

Another thing I do, particularly with bands (whose content has been suppressed since like 2012) is, type their name into my search box; so anytime I go into search I can scroll back and find them. Sounds dumb but it works.

Iโ€™m using Facebook less and less these days, probably because it rarely shows me anything worth following. Glad to see you here on Substack Tom. Best of luck with it.

Friendly also available for iOS devices: https://friendly.io/ coz trying to link directly to FruitCo's App Store, er, doesnโ€™t.

I've not tried it yet but it canโ€™t be any worse than the Zuckerbots' own app with its constant deluge of shitverts from businesses at the opposite end of the country, purveyors of woo and people who were dropped on their heads as children.
