Didn't even realize this was a thread and not a single tweet until you posted this link. Guess that's the downsides of not having a Twitter acct anymore.

  • The platform is still usable, just block anyone who posts politics in your timeline, eventually it all becomes technical stuff.

    • It still normalizes use of what has effectively become a far-right propaganda machine and thus the purposeful destruction of democratic institutions.

  • The Twitter algorithm is open source, unlike the algorithm for Facebook, Instagram, TikTok etc. I'm not aware of any evidence for bias in the algorithm.

    • It's not though. The GitHub repo was never updated once. Here's an experiment for you: open X in a new private tab and count political posts, see how many of them are far right. Bias is evident.

Neat website, thanks for posting. Basically necessary to avoid the twitter “paywall”
