      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.

          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 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.

        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.

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