I’m curious about what the social score is all about. I’ve not heard of it before.

Thanks for asking! I’ll add it to my list. It’s one of the most important things society doesn’t understand - in simple terms, imagine trading out your financial credit score for a credit score based on your political opinions and comments online.

Thank you for explaining to Mason Storyteller what social credit score was. I has no clue either!

I got the boot from X after Elon appointed a WEF alumni as CEO. I say good riddance as Substack is much better anyway. I also use Word Press, Gab, Truth Social, Rumble, and Bit Chute. Too many other free speech options for me to worry about Twitter. Elon did not clean up that vipers nest like he promised.

I just saw this, my bad! I'm now thankful for learning about X/Twitter censorship first hand, it forced me to Substack and now I have communication continuity with the people that want to hear my truth. Twitter has turned into the new establishment - the same independent journalists I've followed for years and inspired me to bet on myself, are now the same one's ignoring my truth in their replies while they focus on the 2024 election and pushing their favorite candidate. I'm what they used to be.

X let me back on and apologized, to give them some credit. I use them sparingly as there is still some good content there from time to time. Not a habit anymore.

I guess I completely misunderstand Elon when he says "open source". I thought that meant data nerds could see all the changes. Oh well. Being censored these days is flattering. I'd rather be speaking truth and censored than a clueless sheep.

I would wear it as a badge of honor.

Everything happens for a reason. Hopefully we get the message and learn from it.
