What if this isn’t the content that you want to see? There are a lot of “Blue” subscribers that simply bought that blue check mark (a lot of the MAGA crowd). So, if I’m reading this correctly, you will see these check mark people first and people you actually follow second (if they don’t have a check mark). This feels like a “getting force fed” situation.

Twitter says paying Blue subscribers now get ‘prioritized rankings in conversations’

Twitter says replies from paying Twitter Blue subscribers will now be more visible on the site. Elon Musk has long promised to give Twitter Blue users priority in search, mentions, and replies.

My twitter followers and engagement continues to drop. I can’t open the app w/o some other ad polluting my feed🤢
By contrast this Mastodon community continues to ignite robust dialogue and offers little comfort to racists and bigots. (Also my better half Ayesha is now writing some great Mastodon threads on women’s rights so I hope y’all follow her too).❤️✊🏽 
Twitter keeps dropping the ball—but I’m feeling more & more hopeful Mastodon will more than fill the gap Twitter has left. Thank you all.❤️✊🏽
What’s the weather like in your part of the country? The rain is in Western Ohio and will change quickly. It gets real for me around 2am. Cold, cold, cold. Trust me, I’m going nowhere until Saturday!!
Looking forward to this… the PBS program “Finding your Roots” did a deep dive on my ancestry and found some very interesting family history. Coming soon…

Stop hating on lazy people. We didn't even do anything.
@ADDiane 😂😂 Thanks for the chuckle!!
Just Shameful….
Check this out. My local NBC, ABC and CBS affiliates are showing today’s January 6th Committee hearing. FOX is showing something called Karamo…it’s some kind of show Dr. Phil like talk show. Shame on them. I rarely travel to FOX to see any of their shows. I’m totally turned off by FOX period, local or national I just pass that station right on by.

Hello!! I'm looking for fellow #Resisters !
