Looks like someone has told these threadbros that shitty opinions and hot takes are even better for engagement. And people are falling for it, merrily QTing with suitable outrage, amplifying it even more. #RinseRepeat #UseScreenshots

Fair question. But I don’t think anybody will have been left with a more positive view of him or his “ideas” after reading my tweet. Key thing on Twitter is to avoid snarky QTs which just amplify the arseholes by boosting their algorithms. #UseScreenshots

Stop RT Trump! #UseScreenshots

(MoS was QT-ed in the original post, so couldn’t retweet it directly without breaking one of my Twitter rules of engagement: never boost the social media algorithms of purveyors of disinformation, polarisation or evidence-hating, anti-empirical zealotry. #UseScreenshots)

Maybe in some cases but I think many don’t understand the basics of social media engagement: they think they are “owning” their political opponents but are actually amplifying noxious content and bad-faith purveyors of polarisation and disinformation #UseScreenshots #UseHashtags

😁I know that you know what’s going on here. You’ve got enough experience on this hellhole website to recognise obvious trolling by bellends. (Also glad to see somebody else opting for screenshots in these cases rather than taking the bait and snarkily QT-ing) #UseScreenshots

1. Don’t ignore racists on Twitter 2. However, don’t @ them or quote-tweet them: #UseScreenshots 3. React with cold, withering derision- not with outrage (even if justified). Outrage merely serves their agenda: fuelling polarisation More here

Remember one thing about Manoj Bajpayee, Dia Mirza and other celebs protesting about #AareyForest : They are just expensive versions of #RiaRevealed All that their financial backers want is engagement on tweets, and outrage-quoting tweets, serves their purpose #UseScreenshots

This is how trollbait tweets (by mehr) are amplified by well meaning genuinely outraged tweeple. #usescreenshots instead of giving these troll tweeters more popularity on Twitter. cc: @ashishtikooo @DimpleAtra

How about, “Don’t quote-tweet polarisers, hate-mongers and purveyors of misinformation even if you think you are exposing their moral bankruptcy, as it merely amplifies their reach: use screenshots instead”? #UseScreenshots

Sorry @harrisimo, couldn’t retweet your original because Johnson tagged in, so would have broken one of my Twitter rules of engagement: never boost social media algorithms of purveyors of disinformation, polarisation or evidence-hating, anti-empirical zealotry. #UseScreenshots

Agreed but better not to repost (or quote-tweet) stuff from The Sun or from other purveyors of hate, polarisation and disinformation. Reposts= clicks= boosted algorithms= advertising revenue. #UseScreenshots

Sorry: Fox was copied on the original reply so couldn’t retweet it directly without breaking one of my Twitter rules of engagement: never boost the social media algorithms of purveyors of disinformation, polarisation or evidence-hating, anti-empirical zealotry. #UseScreenshots

Common sense, politeness, etc. Convention is if original tweet doesn’t, don’t. Also this: ‘Remember, don't share their tweets, though. Always #UseScreenshots’

@MikeH_PR always has a good eye for 'people' gaming Twitter. And #useScreenshots rather than retweeting egregious tweets is sensible advice...

As an aside, I told Giles Fraser that when he retweeted abuse from a Remainer. He blocked me for my trouble . #UseScreenshots

Thanks to those tagging in Dan Kawczinski when replying or quote-tweeting this. But if I’d wanted to amplify the bad-faith purveyor of polarisation when calling out his lies, I’d have tagged him myself. Never. Quote-Tweet. Ppl. Spreading. Disinfo. On. Twitter. #UseScreenshots

Im just trying to condense all your tips into one handy summary for some acquaintances whilst also linking to your #UseScreenshots thread for them to read a bit more.

Am I be right in saying the best way for regular people to combat this is to 1. #UseScreenshots to highlight particular things. 2. Never @ them. 3. Never reply, RT or quote them. 4. Don't block them. Instead quietly report anything abusive or offensive to the relevant platform.

Even when you *prove* that she is wrong and an idiot, she wins. Her Twitter algorithms get boosted, she gets recommended more often as an influential account to follow. #UseScreenshots #UseHashtags #AltShite #twats

And to take the piss with screenshots and hashtags (no benefit to their algorithms) #UseScreenshots #UseHashtags

Note how Leave(dot)EU casually slip in the smear that Andrew Adonis is behaving like a Nazi when they suggest he will be “burning books next”. They know this will trigger outrage (& social media traffic). Don’t rise to their bait. #UseScreenshots #AltShite @Andrew_Adonis

Dismisses Ireland (and most of EU) as economically irrelevant, but brags of economic powerhouses like Falkland Islands and Montserrat. #Brexit debate Twitter is an absurd place Also, #usescreenshots
