I'm confused because who are folks following on X/Twitter that they constantly come across right wing, racist propaganda?


I come accross it alot,I just assume its because I post on thecoli. Thats the other thing,Democrats are the biggest pushers of right wing propaganda. They share it in an attempt to show how crazy it is. Not realizing in many parts of America they can somewhat relate to those Republican talking points. And alot of times Republicans dont sound as crazy as liberals think they do. Democrats will reply with stats that refute whats being said. As if people care about that more than how they feel. Did you know the senses work like algorithms collecting data and subconciously compiles stats of its own:respect:

This is an absolute lie. Right wing and racist propaganda has been proven to be intentionally pushed by bots and controlled algorithms on both Twitter and Facebook. Conversely, black media has been proven to be suppressed intentionally no matter how big the following.

Blaming it on democrats is an insane Mr. Fantastic reach.

I think I had twitter for 2 months before deleting at the start of 2024

Twit is a derogatory term here in UK so it never made sense to me

Short-form posting platform Bluesky crossed the 15 million user mark today amid a recent surge of user signups in the wake of the US presidential election. That’s according to a stat-tracking site put together by Bluesky developer Jaz, using the Bluesky API.
The platform, which rests on the decentralized AT Protocol, added about a million new users in the last week. Bluesky COO Rose Wang recently told The Verge that the “majority” of new users flocking to the platform have been from the US. The Bluesky app is currently at number one in the iOS app store, followed by Threads, ChatGPT, and the Google app.

Meta’s Threads is still outpacing Bluesky, having recently hit 275 million monthly users and growing at a rate of over a million signups per day. But Bluesky offers a very different experience. Both are ad-free (for now), but whereas Threads uses a single Meta-made algorithmic feed, Bluesky offers user-created algorithmic feeds in addition to its “Discover” and “Popular With Friends” ones.

New features that Bluesky has recently rolled out include video posting, pinned posts and custom fonts, and a slew of “anti-toxicity” features that let you do things like detach your posts when someone else quotes them.

Never too late to take a stand.
I'm not on social media, so when musk freed the use of slurs, it was an easy step for me to stop posting tweets here.

The exodus of Black people from twitter that I expected at that time, didn't really happen at that time. But better late than never.



I mean, you can take a stand but Elon accomplished all his goals already. Trump is re-elected and he's got a government spot.

Meanwhile i see thousands of podcast talking about relationships and going 50/50 and single mothers. Shaderoom continues to post their gossip with thousands of likes and reshares. I dont want to hear about black media being "supressed".


"One analysis,published by The Wall Street Journal on Tuesday, found that the platform appears to serve new users large amounts of right-leaning political content, even if they indicate no interest in politics. A second report, this one by The Washington Post, found that Republican politicians are now vastly more likely to go viral on X, and that over the past 15 months, many Republicans have seen huge follower gains compared with Democrats.

Both findings are likely to fuel ongoing speculation that X throttles left-leaning content, though there’s no direct evidence to suggest that’s true. Even before Musk acquired the platform, internal research found that Twitter tended to amplify right-leaning views. Still, these new analyses are striking and have alarmed some members of the Biden White House, according to the Post."



"Right leaning views" are subjective first of all. Plus while there is some evidence of what your saying. I just dont generally think its a good excuse. Theres nothing stopping the left from having its own version of Candace Owens. Wheres the schill version of Tariq? Does the left have its own Joe Rogan podcast? And is it true Joe Rogan was a liberal at one time and flipped?

Im hearing alot of excuses,but twitter aint stopping that runaway locomotive of black influence. Seems like black people actually had alot of influence this election. People just didnt like that black peoples true feelings were reposted by the rightwing accounts.

Not even about that, u can see it in the “for you” section

He turned likes off so some of these accounts are clearly being boosted by being given “viral” (bot liked) tweets from right wing accounts

I only follow sports, athletes, and fashion accounts. Only time I see any of the right wing propaganda is when folks retweet it to show how asinine it is.
