because you keep responding to those posts. Same thing happened to me on tiktok. I am now getting nothing but misogynist redpill bullshit in my feed, because I foolishly responded to their posts calling them out for the idiots they are.

Pretty sure you don’t have to interact with that trash to get it on X. Elon is a fascist wannabe and he loves that crap, it’s intentionally being pushed across the platform.
Hickak@lemmy.world 4 months ago
In fact, I don’t respond or interact. When they appear in my feed I simply block them, but no matter how much I block racist and right-wing accounts they continue to appear in my feed.
hightrix@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Unfortunately many of these platforms treat a block as an interaction.
There is no way to ignore these posts without triggering an interaction.
As others said, it is truly the goal of these sites to make you angry.
paraphrand@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Wow, that’s a great way for platforms to reinforce bubbles.
Cosmicomical@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Because twitter is now full on right wing
DrSleepless@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Because it ain’t twitter anymore

Now it is Elon Musk’s Hate Machine Turbo Edition.
Phegan@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Snarky answer: that’s all thats left on Twitter.
Real answer. Elon is trying to push a right wing agenda, and it has taken two forms, first, amplify anyone paying for Twitter blue, which is simply a pay for play system. The second is, Elon is a right wing dipshit who has pushed mostly non right wingers off the platform.

I’m exasperated by this comment. It is 2024, and this question can be answered by countless people that have never used Twitter.
Stop using the platform if you don’t like the far-right.
S_H_K@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 months ago
They pay good buck to get boosted same in all platforms
Draedron@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 months ago
Because only far righters or those who dont mind them are still on twitter in 2024.

All right wingers aren’t nazis or racists, but all nazis and racists are right wingers so that might explain it.

Liberals are racist.

HatchetHaro@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 months ago
I’m not having the same problem. My Twitter feed is filled to the brim with gay furry porn with a sprinkling of indie game development posts, just how I like it.
littlecolt@lemm.ee 4 months ago
No lie, you’d love bluesky.
HatchetHaro@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 months ago
I’m on it already! Just couldn’t find the motivation to go through my giant list of artists I’ve followed on Twitter to follow on Bsky as well…

Thankyou for hacking the Heritage Foundation website

Mine is dull of…
Oh wait, I deleted my Twitter when Musk turned it into a cesspool.
Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Never made one in the first place.
BowtiesAreCool@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Mine is just F1 media
pewgar_seemsimandroid@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 months ago
just a question, how mad would you be if F1 went virtual?

Same reason my darling’s tik tok feed suddenly featured humanizing Trump videos the moment he reversed direction on the Tik Tok ban, even though she hates both Trump and politics and would never willingly look at a video of either.
HEXN3T@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 months ago
Not to be like condescending or rude or anything, but, like, Bluesky and Mastodon are right there

alt title: "Why is this non-federated dumpster fire a dumpster fire?"
db2@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Because it’s a cesspool of far right pedos who were given the green light to go whatever by their pedo tin god Captain Hairplugs Musk. If you want batshit conspiracy theories and the hardest projecting you’ve ever witnessed then you’re in luck though.
foggy@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Same reason I’m seeing suggestions for tucker Carlson on YouTube.
Money.
clot27@lemm.ee 4 months ago
I stopped using X for the same reason, the fact that I am not American (not even European) and I see pro-trump tweets randomly in my feed is mind-boggling. The feed is often filled with misogynistic, religious, racist stuff. All thanks to pelon pusk.
uebquauntbez@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Twitter is now X. You know, that cribbled Swastika.
JustZ@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Twitter is a cash welfare program for the far right. Funded by corps that advertise there and Musk’s own money, cash gets handed out by the algorithm to the most engaging posters (read: far right and outrageous pedlars of disinformation) and righty douch-bag influencers (read: failed models who became weird alt-right bimbos with Cristian gun fetishists who all use the same weird voice).
How I see it, anyway.
Seraph@fedia.io 4 months ago
Elon is paying a lot of money to try to swing the political spectrum way far to the right. At this point everyone else has left.
Why haven't you?
glimse@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Why haven’t you?
Because it’s completely untrue that “everyone else has left.”

Why do you Xitter?
njm1314@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Cause you’re on Twitter you weirdo. Frankly anyone still using it is sus at this point.
TwinTusks@bitforged.space 4 months ago
The issue is that many of the people I follow are still on twitter, many even critical of Musk (ie. Stephen King)
njm1314@lemmy.world 4 months ago
They’re all liars. If they were really critical they’d be doing it elsewhere. You might as well call them volkswagen, IBM, and Hugo Boss. Cuz that’s all they are.
i_have_some_enemies@welppp.com 4 months ago

Propaganda. Block, report, unsubscribe, or leave the platform.
Jourei@lemm.ee 4 months ago
After all it is a social media that specifically leans to the right nowadays.
I left it when my feed went quiet, lucky I didn’t get the treatment you seem to have.
Asafum@feddit.nl 4 months ago
And yet the fucking giant crybabies will whine all day long about being censored and persecuted…
God I hate these people
EnderWiggin@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Mastadon is your friend. Switch to it and never look back. It is so much better than Twitter ever was.
atro_city@fedia.io 4 months ago
Why are you on twittertho?
Atin@lemmy.world 4 months ago
I’m having the same problem with YouTube. Lately there is so much far right filth and Christianity. It doesn’t seem to matter how much I tell the app I’m not interested and not to recommend channels.
metaStatic@kbin.earth 4 months ago
/feed/subscriptions should be your homepage. The front page has been dogshit for over a decade now so it's really your own fault if you're clicking on anything you didn't specifically ask for. Stop eating the algorithm.
orcrist@lemm.ee 4 months ago
Using a third party YT front end is a medium run fix. Your home screen is your subscriptions, and you won’t see mixed or shorts unless you want to.
Plus, you won’t be logged in, so you can’t easily comment, and YT comments suck anyway so your life will be happier.
YurkshireLad@lemmy.ca 4 months ago
Why? Because the platform is owned by Elon Twitler, and he’s opened the floodgates to anyone who wants to help destroy the world.
PhlubbaDubba@lemm.ee 4 months ago
Twitter’s algorithm, like most social media companies, promotes rage bait on purpose because angry users are users that get into flame wars with other users and as a result, raise engagement metrics to show advertisers.
It might stop if you just don’t engage for long enough, but honestly, just consider a different site altogether if you need microblog stuff in your system, Twitter is going the way of Blockbuster.
rozodru@lemmy.ca 4 months ago
use Mastodon. Most of the people I followed on Twitter migrated over to there anyways.
lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 4 months ago
In depht answer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rE3j_RHkqJc
Short answer: Anger causes people to keep interacting with it, Twitter as most social media promote interaction/engagement.
It’s been like this for years, even before Musk bought tbf platform. I already left, then.
Raiderkev@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Elon bought it for a reason
