Folks, please read if you are allowed to see this note from Twitter jail: I had noticed over the last year that X was bent on keeping me from tweets of followers & vice versa, and that tilt has accelerated since a recent set of additional changes. My chat has also been restricted, and I can't share this note with people I want to thank. Debate on X is confused about these changes, as you would expect, but I have found @grok useful with my questions. The new model assumes that every tweeter should be like @elonmusk--doesn't tweet more than four times a day, says something provocative that stimulates a huge response, and posts less than 50% by retweeting. It's a model that works for some politics, crypto & sex, but not for serious curating & discussion of poetry. In the new X order, I can't welcome newcomers, post each day from a range of blogs and Substacks, promote readings and journals, and the like. If I do, almost no one sees it. The feisty part of me would like to walk, but I am too old to start over elsewhere, and I don't want to lose the ability to post here about my own work. Accordingly, I'm going to stay, but stay at just a bit above life support, at least for a while, in the hope that the X bros will panic when they see posting dropping rather than climbing. Over the last twelve years I have grown very fond of many people here. Be well. Write well.
