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 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.
