It is his platform after all, he can post whatever he wants. On the other hand, this is one of the reasons why the platform is really becoming unusable for me.

It is his platform after all, he can post whatever he wants. On the other hand, this is one of the reasons why the platform is really becoming unusable for me. Not to mention everyday i'm "followed" by 5-10 bots. And I get recommended a lot of posts about right wing posters that I have no interest in seeing. I mean, ofc, I don't have to use the fyp but I do wonder if there's manipulation of the algorithm going on. I don't follow any accounts that are right-wing aligned.

It's against the Twitter terms of service. secondly, "The Federal Election Campaign Act prohibits fraudulent misrepresentation of federal candidates or political parties, but the law, written in 1971, is ambiguous when it comes to modern technologies such as artificial intelligence." the algorithm has changed to push more right wing accounts. https://www.reddit.com/r/Twitter/search/?q=right+wing&type=link&cId=8c0a7418-5d68-4b29-b258-21480e7b6ac7&iId=f60a1032-3e80-46c2-9771-11aa87a8250e https://www.reddit.com/r/Twitter/search/?q=right+wing&type=l...

I’m in Australia and literally only follow or interact with furries in my city. And yet most of my Twitter feed is American political bait, and I get followed by 3 bots a day. It’s funny to see all the posts on here saying “Elon was right, you can fire everyone and nothing happens”. Like have any of these people tried using Twitter in the last year? It’s completely deteriorated.

  We have furries? I thought they were a made up subculture. Cool

    Right before the pandemic there was a big furrycon happening right in front of where I was living in Melbourne. Was chill.

      There’s actually quite a lot of furry events happening in Melbourne. They just aren’t very visible. You have to be in the space to be told when and where stuff is happening.

    There's like 5 yearly conventions in Australia. Aus is one of the countries with the most active furry communities from what I can see along with the US, UK, and Germany.

  Many of my furry friends have moved to Bluesky, but I’m begging the rest of them to stop sending me Twitter links all the time.

My fyp is overflowing with alt right low quality posts. It started abruptly 2 months ago. Until then it was very clean and relevant. I have given up marking the tweets as “not relevant”. My fyp is now 80% alt right trolls and short facebook style video clips

> It is his platform after all, he can post whatever he wants. Really? Can he post snuff videos and child porn?
