    It went down hill fast. The amount of right-wing propaganda skyrocketed … weird

      When I logged in about six weeks after the ownership change my feed included Elon Musk, Andrew Tate and 2-3 other right wing influencers. I follow none of these people, I have zero interest in what they have to say and I find them reprehensible. I deleted my account and haven’t used the platform since.

        I stopped in today after months because my friend is launching a game and I wanted to give them a like and a comment. When I left Twitter my feed was just nerd shit and makers.

        When I logged in today it was several right wing advertisements at the top. When I went to search it was more Trump shit. I just wanted to support my indie friend. That’s it for me.

          I’ve just had to look out a morbid curiosity and yeah it’s all Trump. I am being encouraged to vote for Donald Trump. This is a man who is to anathema pretty much all of my beliefs, of course I’m not going to vote for him he seriously wants to be a dictator.

          Also, I’m not American so I can’t vote for him anyway.

            I already voted so I can’t vote for him either.

        The only person I had blocked on Twitter before I deleted my account was Elon.

        I swear I couldn’t be that annoying if I tried.

          Yeah same. When he started topping my feed despite me blocking him I ejected from his platform and washed my hands of the whole thing.

        I’ve never had a Twitter account, but this makes me want to create one just so I can quit

      Weird how right wing content and popularity has an inverse square power law. Sooooo weird.

      I wonder if the right-wing content actually has increased, or if it’s just the ratio of it compared to left-wing content as much of the left has seemingly abandoned the platform.

      My feed was almost entirely non-political to begin with, and personally, I’ve hardly noticed any difference, though the little politics that do get thru tend to indeed lean right.

        Maybe. I only use it to troll them now, so maybe I stepped on my own foot.

          I post gay porn. The number or right-wing rednecks that follow me with their public profiles is… confusing.

        I see equally amount both sides of I go looking. But I don’t go looking so I just see my industry related stuff and nothing political. I swear the level of fear momgering and exaggeration is wild.
