A surprising amount of the algorithmic feed seems to be accounts that repost TikTok and reddit stuff.
I’ll probably delete it for good soon. It was a lot easier to separate myself from the platform than I thought.
That said, while I am logged in, I can only read 5 or so tweets before kicked out with the dreaded "Rate limit exceeded"
And even so, all what is left is a poisonous shithole wherein the remnants of the political left and the political right are doing everything they can to make eachothers lives miserable.
Twitter is dead to me.
The latest change to DMs is getting me to seriously consider campaigning for people to leave.
What I've noticed lately is more fringe personalities coming up on my feed, and several times I went into the replies just to see if anyone I followed was interacting with the post. Many times, the tweet was recommended just because Elon Musk replied to it. I used to follow him so it makes sense, but I am confused for two reasons: one, this happened far less in the past, and two, Twitter used to IDENTIFY why a tweet showed up in my timeline with a label (ex: "Elon musk replied to this") but those labels do not show up anymore.
Twitter used to be a place for real people and real news. It's becoming more and more of an echo chamber every day.
How?
