Although I can click on some goofy goon thread, like if someone made a huge effort post about food preservation I can click on it, marvel and comment a few times, without the ~Algorithm~ turning everything I see into tupperware posts for a year.

Or I read an article about how Bobby Fischer is a Nazi and now Reddit thinks I want 1,700 posts a day about the best chess move to make from a certain board state. Or I accidently thumbs up my grandma's racist shitpost on FB and now I got 50 Ben Shapiro videos in my feed. I don't know who the gently caress asmongold is but YouTube sure thinks I want to watch him, even more than the actual things I'm subbed to.

I take it back SA is a lot better.

Isn't that the guy who makes those accidentally awesome thumbnails about how incredibly gay Venom is? That name sounds weirdly familiar and someone's become e-famous lately as a "look at this dumb rear end in a top hat making things he hates seem rad as poo poo" kind of guy.

I have a Twitter account, it got unbanned along with all the nazis (I'm not a nazi though, just very mean to them). I don't post or browse there though, don't even have the app. One completely inactive account makes zero difference. deleting it would be pointless, the most pathetic and ineffective form of protest

If you don’t use it, why would you not delete it? It sound equally pointless keeping it, and by deleting it, you are not tacitly supporting a fascist.

I decided to use my dormant X account (shouldn't it have been deleted?) to see how the feed looks like

I decided to compile some statistics, on the first 50 posts of my feed.

It was about 20% antman+end wokeness+that ilk, and 10% ads/scams.

Today I gave it another try and 5 out of the first 5 posts were "look at this programme making German girls meet 30 year old migrants", plus stuff about some transgender Caitlyn, plus pepe the frog avatars posting about hunter biden.

Great platform, extremely balanced!

Yeah but how can you maintain smug moral superiority over others if you don't delete it then post about you deleted twitter?

in the same boat, I have account I haven't used in eight month, login details are saved on laptop that no longer works, and not sure I can even remember my handle. Think it had moon in it? At this point I figure it's just dead. If I ever get the laptop working again might login in to see if I can get myself banned by calling out a nazi on their obvious poo poo, just for shits and giggles, but honestly why bother, engagement still just engagement.

I have a twitter account I'm logged into on PC but can't access because they banned me. The account's still there, I just can't do anything with it.

It's useful in that I can see linked tweets and videos, safe in the knowledge I couldn't interact with them even if I wanted to.

I can take some comfort in that, even though it seems like the internet is filled with racists and right wing trolls, an AI that is trained on the aggregate of the full internet and thus reflects it, becomes «woke» even when the creators don’t intend it to be.

(This is assuming Musk is telling the truth about training the AI from the ground up, and it’s not just ChatGPT with instructions to be edgy)

They are just as paranoid about population decline as they are about poor people immigrating

The majority of them would be poor anyway. I dont think they like poor people, even if they are white

edit: anyway, I guess I just don't understand why are these people so worried about population decline.I mean, how out of touch with reality you have to be to believe thats a real problem? I know some of them are just paranoid about "the great replacement", but I feel it's not only that. I have a hunch that is also related to controlling women bodies and justifying being anti abortion and also hating trans people (Elon himself talks a lot about sterile trans people), and that they don't really believe this crap themselves

Also if the internet is so woke why is everywhere I look thats linked into the mainstream full of right wing circlejerk comments agreeing with each other as far as I can scroll and basically nothing else nowadays.
