Frankly, I'd attribute this to a combination of "server farm" issues where lower-importance things like retweet counts may be pulling from slightly stale data and to actively nuking the apparently pretty massive "egg" bot networks that seem to be a problem on Twitter these days.
- giarc 10y agoI think you could be right. I remember reading somewhere about the difference between twitter and Facebook. The Facebook newsfeed doesn't need to be in chronological order since they are trying to figure out what is important to you. Twitter has recently changed to do something similar. Therefore it's plausible that something funky is going on that has nothing to do with Twitter censoring particular users. Also, why allow Dowd to only have a few but then let Alex Jones have nearly 600K. I'm not saying the two are the same, but seems like rules would be unevenly applied if the truth was twitter was censoring.
