The way to use it changes depending on what new changes they wanna implement. I managed to stay out of the shadowrealm for a LONG time though. My tricks:

• Don't ever use hashtags unless they are purely vanilla.
• Don't ever use links. Just period.
• Interact genuinely with vanilla and SW accounts
• Post about 4 times a day on average.. but the more you post the better chances you have to be seen... it really is a lose lose there sometimes.
• If you RT someone else, Quote RT it with a comment versus just straight RT.
• Link to a disambiguous page in your bio (linktree or buy a domain to re-route affiliate links). Then find creative ways to say "link in bio" (don't use those words anymore). For instance, you should now use 🔗 in bio or "you know where to find me".
• RTing lots of your own posts can also gain quick visibility on Twitter for a time that you are active, so do it first thing when you wake or are looking to 'be around' for sessions.
