Anyone still on Twitter now is actively part of the problem
Uh, woah there. Why the extremeist view? I’m on there pretty actively for industry chatter. What’s the problem I’m a part of?
Yeah some niche communities that have nothing to do with extremists or politics at all are only on Twitter/X unfortunately. For example, I am into domain name investing and all my domainer friends gather on X to discuss our latest acquisitions and sales. I’ve tried to get people to move to Mastodon, but it’s difficult.
The right-wing extremism and misinformation if you were actually wondering
Right, but I don’t see how simply being on the platform makes one part of the problem.
Threads is better 😁
X sucks, but Threads is even worse. 99% of everything I have ever seen on Threads is pure distilled engagement bait, and half the time expanding replies gets stuck loading. I wish I were exaggerating, but I’m not.

That sounds exactly like XTwitter…
Exactly as intended.
It went down hill fast. The amount of right-wing propaganda skyrocketed … 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.
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.
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.
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.
Concerning.
