Is anyone here going through the same situation? I usually consume content about films, series, anime, etc. But out of nowhere my feed started recommending racist, Nazi and right-wing content. I’m not saying that right-wingers are Nazis or racists, I’m saying that right-wing content is appearing to me alongside racist and Nazi content. Anyone here having the same problem?

    It’s what X wants you to see. It’s not a glitch or bad algorithm, it’s working as intended.

    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.

    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.

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

    Why do I keep getting emails from Biden/Harris/DNC even though I reported their ads as phishing and ultimately blocked them? Yet two weeks since, I continue to receive their ads.

    Not to mention… I never signed up for DNC or GOP crap. I don’t like either.

    Elon pushes right wing and nazi adjacent stuff in the algorithm. Anyone he replies to also gets boosts and he constantly replies “!” To right wing conspiracy theorists etc

      remember when all the Redditors were celebrating him being forced to buy Twitter because he would lose a small fraction of hos income?

        I’m still happy about that. We have blue sky and mastodon. Anyone still putting content on Twitter is just doing this to themselves at this point.

    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.
