Twitter obviously has always had huge downsides, but if you heavily curated your feed, it was sometimes ok. There were socialist/communist circles that had decent discourse.
Recently (last few months), I’ve noticed almost EVERY thread is infested with combative libs.
I also see literal pro-Nazi/fascist threads. I’m talking about praising Hitler and calling for ethnic cleansing. They never seem to get taken down and are very active (often with little resistance).
These threads are not something I’ve dug for either. They are easy to stumble upon.
This is almost exactly what happened to Reddit, which is pretty much worthless now. I haven’t logged on in weeks.
I need to research more, but I know most social media companies have been infiltrated by ‘former’ US security stooges from the CIA etc.
I know anything remotely left wing gets suppressed by the algorithms, but I’m pretty convinced they are pushing hard right content.
Outside of twitter/reddit, even seeing the influx of libs on Lemmy has been an eye opener lol
Some of the most annoying people on earth. They can’t comprehend that we don’t want to debate them or debunk the same 5 talking points they always spout off.
it’s like liberals and fascists are made for each other and they don’t know it
