I spent the whole day at my workshop, making sawdust, logged off and enjoying a local holiday. I arrive home and see that at long last the cheeto is fired and then I decide to go over my daily allowance of Twitter just to check out what’s going on.

My feed is full of the most radioactive shitty excuses for human beings, one after the other. I just opened it right now to check it again, and here’s what I got, in this order:

Ann Coulter, Mike Pompeo, Kyle Rittenhouse, Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Mike Lee, Jim Jordan, Nikki Haley, Donald Trump Jr., Josh Hawley, Lauren Boebert, Donald J Trump Posts from Truth Social, Greg Abbot.

To what do I owe the pleasure of being presented with this absolute eldritch nightmare of a blunt rotation? Is this happening to anybody else? This is on my phone’s Firefox browser, because I’ve reached the daily app time allowance, same as on my PC’s browser.

    You are in For You instead of Following. For You is the algorithm and it will give you stuff to get mad at in addition to people you follow.

      sure, but in my For You it’s usually at worst liberals being recommended directly, this was just straight up a fire hose of shit lol

      I was thinking that some funny little tweaks had been made to the algorithm
