I don’t use Twitter anymore, but folks on Reddit are saying that they’re getting recommendations and even push notifications for right wing pundits, despite not being subscribed to anything remotely right wing: https://old.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/1cj5jw7/elon_musk_reinstates_x_account_of_neonazi_nick/l2e2yue/ https://old.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/1cj5jw7/elon_mu...

Well, these days people will call anything that is not far left, the far right, so I'm a bit skeptical on that front. Also the problem in that case is twitter's suggestion algorithm, if there is any, because you can always block and mute anything you don't like. If twitter gets taken over by extreme far right accounts then one of two possibilities is true - the app sucks and most people leave, or if most people stay then most people agree with it. I don't think there is a scenario in which most people do not agree with it, and then they change their minds because the app has a bad suggestion algorithm.
