There's only a couple of weekends until then for small improvements to the app, so if you have any particular wishes let me know! 🪄

Morning #Fediverse.

Little late this morning sorry. What plans do everyone have for today?

I decided to take the day off. Since my oldest was sick, she wasn’t able to come this weekend, we’re gonna go down there today for a day trip.

Revealing My "X" #SocialCreditScore:
38 / 100

As a creator working uphill against #biased #algorithms (not liking accounts such as mine, challenging power), I use platforms - w/I agree w/them or not.

xAI considers analysis "conspiracy theories", & "skepticism on gov or corporate actions"

Screenshot of w/I refer to as my social credit score on X / Twitter, according to Grok:

#X #Twitter #socialMedia #censorship #freespeech #libre #liberty #humanrights #freeExpression #shadowbanned #AI #grok

Kept an account on X to share my content, as it appears #corporate run algorithms never appreciated it (6yr).

Even negative score for "sharing investigative techniques" aka sharing how to protect ppl's #privacy for ethical reasons / #OSINT

And without self promotion / resharing, hardly anyone sees it - many times spending 10+hours working on a short video.

The recent unmasking of El0n's censorship empire is coming right in time for Trump admin's big day.
