I haven't been on twitter (or as the kids are calling it "X" in a while), the thing that drove me off was the algorithm jamming me with engagement trash, when I was trying to do "gardening" and have my feed made up of scientists, or software engineers I respect. What I got was: Kardashians? Pete Davidson? and a bunch of flamebait BS. I don't really know how you can mess recommendations up that much, but I can say the whole thing didn't have a thick veil. Its probably killing it with everyone else but it drove me off
I don’t use Twitter/X. Would you say their algorithm is good?

Those who contributed to making you forget how to control your feeds are now asking you to contribute to their insane feeds control factory.
Is there explicit liberal bias in there, did anyone find out?
