I woke up this morning and discovered that Twitter had blocked my account. Why? I have no idea. Apparently they have decided that auto-posting links to my blog or from Buffer looks like spam or something. I had to go through and verify myself using an SMS message to get it enabled again.

I do believe Twitter’s attempts to “clean up” the social network are just making it more difficult to use. They clearly have nothing more than vague over reactions as a strategy. That’s not good.

Or maybe I’m just a Russian troll, who knows? 😉

I’ve recently noticed a couple of folks signing up for the email newsletter, which is really just an email with new posts attached, and then unsubscribe shortly thereafter. I have two guesses why that might happen, one is that they really only wanted to read posts about Litigation Support and eDiscovery, or maybe just posts…

Linked: A Few Social Media Suggestions for 2021
ByMike McBride December 26, 2020December 26, 2020 Reading Time: 1 minute

We can hate social media algorithms all we want, but the truth is they are simply responding to our own behavior. If Twitter seems ugly and mean to you, quit following ugly and mean people.
