A thread:
I have not written this out ahead of time, I am writing as I go, so bear with me, this is just a musing.
The Lord of the Flies theory of millennials.
This is a different generation than ever before in history. This is a generation that grew up in a 1/
WOOOHOOOOO!!!! This may not look like much but it is Bruiser licking the medicine off of paw! I ground up his pill and put it in some L-Lysine gel. I had no idea how Iβd pill him. The vet couldnβt even do it. This I can do. Thank you so much to everyone chipping in! Youβre all amazing. Bruiser has hundreds of moms and dads out here!! Xoxooxoxoxoxoox.
Iβm in tears. Iβm grateful to everyone helping me. And my heart is breaking for this little boy. He isnβt doing all that hot. Itβs his kidneys and he is anemic. The doctor told me tons of stuff I can hardly remember. Thank you to everyone sharing this! I β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ you all.
Bruiser could use a cup of coffee if anyone would consider helping him out. He is pretty anemic. The doctor isnβt sure whatβs going on but words like cancer were thrown around. I have some meds to give him. He will get rechecked in 2 weeks. buymeacoffee.com/bruiserthecβ¦

Bruiser is with the vet. They are running a bunch of tests. Heβs lost two pounds since July 31st. Thatβs a lot. He was only 12 pounds to begin with. Iβm worried. Paws in for Bruiser!
Ok guys! Thatβs it. Bruiser has earned himself a trip to the vet. Heβs not eating. Heβs getting skinny. And Iβm worried about the lump on his face. He wouldnβt even touch tuna this morning. Wish me luck! The pink gloves of petting may come into play.
And now the Holocaust deniers have rushed to this thread. Funny how the sex deniers and holocaust deniers have so much in common. Such charming folks.
This was last December. The first time Bruiser got close enough to me to let me touch him. It was so exciting. But Iβm a bit worried. He has lost a lot of weight since then. I had to coax him into eating today. He ignored the food and would only eat treats. Photo below.
If you canβt deal with people who would attack someone then bring in the army. This is horrific.
Mosquitos have been buzzing around me all day. Iβve been smacking them left and right. One just landed on my face. Well played mosquito. Well played.
Ok Bruiser lovers! Here is your daily dose of Bruiser! Finally relaxing. For a street cat a moment like this must be nirvana.
BAD CHANGE!
One little change and the ability of the trolls to silence us all has just increased.

X ALGORITHM UPDATE π¨
X just stopped cutting new posts first, and that should help small accounts (I check it daily with Claude and share updates worth sharing with you)
tl;dr:
- X can only check 2,800 posts each time you open your feed
- new posts used to be last in line, so they got cut first
- now everything gets cut equally, new posts included
- posts labeled low quality or misinfo now show a warning, and people can't like, reply or share them
- no score changes this time
lesson learned: your new posts now get a fair chance to be seen. Your first 2 hours still matter most.
full details:
- How it worked until this week
Every time someone opens For You, X collects around 3,700 posts it could show them: posts from people they follow, popular posts, posts liked by similar people, and brand new posts.
But X only has time to check 2,800 of them.
So it just took the first 2,800 in line. Brand new posts were at the back of the line. When there were too many, they were the ones left out... and a post that never gets checked can't be shown.
- What changed
Now everything gets cut by the same amount. 25% too many? Every type of post loses 25%, new posts included. Nobody goes first.
- Why small accounts should care
Those brand new posts are under 2 hours old, with under 8 likes and under 500 views. That's where most posts from smaller accounts are.
My read: they now get a fair chance instead of being cut first. How often X actually hits the 2,800 limit isn't in the code, so I can't tell you how big the difference is.
- Low quality and misinfo posts now show a warning
If X labels your post as low quality or misinformation, people who don't follow you see a warning on it, and they can't like, reply, repost, bookmark or share it. The code doesn't say what gets a post that label.
Here's a recap of what you should be doing:
- a new post gets its extra push only in its first 2 hours and first 200 views, so post when your people are online
- likes carry more weight than ever at 0.66 each
- people sticking around pays, the time-spent score is 50% higher than two weeks ago
- a read of 10+ seconds after someone opens your post adds 0.4
- the boost favors the post with the best like rate from its first viewers
- accounts up to 50K can get one fresh original lifted to roughly 16th
- nothing beats a copy link share, it scores 20
- replies, quotes and DM shares each score 5
- talk with your mutuals, replies between you score 20 instead of 5
- originals are the only posts that travel outside your follower base
- the 1st and the 32nd like each open a new route to strangers
- your 2nd post in the same feed is worth 62% of the first, so pick your best one
- videos still need 10+ seconds to qualify for the video lists
- earning a follow adds 4
- a pinned post with a bad link can flag the account for 7 days, worth a quick check
What you should NOT be doing:
- posts that get labeled low quality or misinfo now carry a warning, and nobody outside your followers can like or share them
- video alone won't carry you, an open counts 0.02 and the watch 0
- hide-worthy posts cost more, "not interested" sits at -52.27
- a post at 3am burns its 2 hour window before anyone sees it
- a tap that turns into a bounce is worth only 0.3
- replies and reposts don't get past your followers
- insults get your post hidden from anyone who doesn't follow you
- adult media in 3 of your last 5 posts puts a label on your account
- disguised content in videos gets checked from 64 likes, harder at 512
- self-reply chains under big accounts risk being zeroed
- one account label and non-followers stop seeing you entirely
- low-rated links don't belong in your pinned post
- recycled wording can get tagged as copypasta spam
- strangers tagged plus a low quality link is a pattern X flags
- engagement bait has no size exemption
- several posts in a row end up competing with each other
- hashtag stacks add nothing
- bookmarks are still worth 0
- 48 hours in, For You is finished with a post
Iβm going outside to try to crawl in the couch with him. Been a lot day. I was productive and proud! Hung a hug on the wall. With anchors and everything. Plus a level. Oh yeah, Iβm that girl! Pencil behind the ear and drill in hand! πͺ. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
MAJOR CHANGES to how X works!!!
Talk to your mutuals!!!! Thatβs huge! Repost things you like. Rts are HUGE. Help a fella out! Chat. Stay on the post. Gaze lovingly as the prose that would have had Shakespeare dreaming. Get the bots off of your follows. If they click not interested you get TANKED. -50 or more points. Major ding!!!! Everyone, help each other out. Show love.
And donβt forget to smile at Bruiser. Bc he is all that matter and we all raised him together on this site. (Is the puffy under his left eye going down?). Talk to mutuals! Chat chat chat! love you tons so thatβs easy!

Little baby boy Bruiser. Heβs come full circle. From dangerous feral tom cat to a little snuggle bunny. All it took was patience. 2 years to get to this point but look who was hiding inside that tough exterior? Be kind to the stray cats. They are just scared.
Some left wing Democrats in the US are finally backing away from the madness and saying radical things like βwomen deserve their own sportsβ or βtaxpayers shouldnβt pay for plastic surgery in prisonsβ. Letβs check in on the Bluey place and see how they are taking this:
