How to evade bots and algorithmic censorship</h2><p>Use <a href=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_Alphanumeric_Symbols>Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols</a> and you&rsquo;ll be none the wiser.</p><p>Example: 𝖼𝗋𝗒𝗉𝗍𝗈 𝖭𝖥𝖳</p><p>It&rsquo;s indisguishable from basic ASCII, except if you&rsquo;re blind and you use a screen reader. In which case I hope you won&rsquo;t mind for the sake of avoiding bots.
Which is why <em>Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols</em> has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move. If possible, only use them for this exact use case.</p><h2 id=2-mention-usernames-without-spamming-them-with-notifications>2. Mention usernames without spamming them with notifications</h2><p>Some people do for instance <code>@.juju2143</code> or <code>@/juju2143</code> to avoid sending useless notifications to someone on a tweet they know is going to be very popular or they don&rsquo;t want you to see because they hate you but that&rsquo;s kinda weird (also I don&rsquo;t ever mind if you don&rsquo;t do that send them notifications away ;))</p><p>Instead, wedge a zero-width space between the @ and the username! Impress your crowd! How do you do that! Here&rsquo;s a few characters that should work:</p><ul><li><code>U+200B</code> <em>Zero-width space</em></li><li><code>U+200C</code> <em>Zero-width non-joiner</em></li><li><code>U+200D</code> <em>Zero-width joiner</em></li><li><code>U+2060</code> <em>Word joiner</em></li><li><code>U+FEFF</code> <em>Zero-width no-break space</em></li></ul><p>Example: <a href=https://twitter.com/juju2143/status/1579984904103677953>@juju2143</a></p><p>Again, indistinguishable from a normal mention, except no link, but it&rsquo;s also hard to copy and paste and will most likely break a lot of stuff, so use cautiously.</p><p>Have fun!</p></article><ul class=pagination><li class=page-item><a class=previous href=http://toasters.rocks/a39/>« Introducing a39.ca</a></li></ul><article><div id=disqus_thread></div><script type=application/javascript>window.disqus_config=function(){},function(){if(["localhost","127.0.0.1"].indexOf(window.location.hostname)!=-1){document.getElementById("disqus_thread").innerHTML="Disqus comments not available by default when the website is previewed locally.";return}var t=document,e=t.createElement("script");e.async=!0,e.src="//juju2143.disqus.com/embed.js",e.setAttribute("data-timestamp",+new Date),(t.head||t.body).appendChild(e)}()</script><noscript>Please enable JavaScript to view the <a href=https://disqus.com/?ref_noscript>comments powered by Disqus.</a></noscript><a href=https://disqus.com class=dsq-brlink>comments powered by <span class=logo-disqus>Disqus</span></a></article></main><footer>Copyright © 2020 J.P.
