X open sourced its algorithm yesterday and most of the coverage stopped at the repo is public and said the same thing about how the multipliers work, so i spent the last day or so reading the actual ranking code (with my lovely Hermes agent) because I'm trying to grow a small account the honest way.
Here's what the code says, not what the posts say.

1. No likes = invisible
A post only starts reaching people who don't follow you after it gets its first like. no likes, strangers never see it. X also gives small accounts a small boost in the first 24 hours, (<1000 followers). engagement is called favourites in the algo.

2. Every post lives 48 hours
Your post basically stops reaching new people after 48 hours, so nothing blows up a week later, if you want to be seen, post something fresh every day. (its more like a day job, get you shit done every day)

3. The algorithm rewards conversation, a lot honestly.
Replies count 5x more than retweets.
A reply from someone you follow back is worth about 40 likes.
Saving your post (copy link) counts the most equivalent to 40 likes (oof), so creating engaging and shareable content gives the most benefits.

4. Threads hold nothing to the algo
When you post a thread, only the first tweet actually reaches new people. Everything after tweet 1 is treated as a reply by the algo, and replies only show up for people who already follow you. So better to create a single long post, than mincing in small threads.

5. One report costs you equivalent of 468 likes
The algorithm gives every action on your post a score. One report on your post wipes out the score of roughly 468 likes.
One mute kills 118 likes worth.
One not interested kills 86 likes.
So ragebait and clickbait aren't a growth hack anymore, reporting can hurt way more than gaining few extra likes.

6. Its anti AI slop algo
X has a spam detector built specifically for accounts that mass-post AI-generated content. Get flagged and your posts stop reaching non-followers for 30 days. I would definitely start reporting more knowing this is the case.

So the crux remains - 1-2 originals a day, one niche, get that first like fast, reply to people with something real.
that's it. no pods, no bait, no volume.

@shownotover It depends what you are trying to build cause what you five is what you get. The claude style is mostly minimalism focused so anything that is in and around that area it nails it one shot for me, but anything expansive then you need to be creative with it.

[Uben @Ubendev]

@resetnak @X Yes we are connected now

[Uben @Ubendev]

@shownotover Insightful Post

I see this in my timeline and it just ruins my day

[Uben @Ubendev]

@buildwithrajath The claude is no better brother, the day the 50% limit expansion ends we are cooked there as well.

Kudos to the Hermes team at @NousResearch they are pushing about 400-500 changes a day, with quality mind you. They are by far the best opensource coding harness in the market right now, and their dedication shows.

@aiwithadb That guy cant even browse the web correctly would rather use opus on low effort.

[Uben @Ubendev]

You can if you are not a designer or a developer trying to sell yourself as one.
For a marketing guy it makes 100% sense to learn little bit about coding and vibe code his website. That's the whole goal of AI, elevate and deliver a certain level that a normal person can't otherwise.

Do not vibe code your portfolio!

The tech inherently is not dangerous its the way we let it run without any meaning constrains. They are sandboxed for a reason, cause the company know how dangerous they are. So us not questioning it doesn't make them dangerous as they in a sandbox, but if the tech continues to get smarter every iteration it definitely wont be listening to any of our stupid questions. Lol

I have a Gemini pro subscription and I barely use the free image and video generation that we get from them everyday.

Might just build a random prompt generator that would generate random images, cause why should I let it go waste.

Cappytool No. 2 incoming I guess.

@thapaganes888 @X So this is like resend? I currently use resent to send my emails from my domain.
