Twitter obviously has always had huge downsides, but if you heavily curated your feed, it was sometimes ok. There were socialist/communist circles that had decent discourse.

Recently (last few months), I’ve noticed almost EVERY thread is infested with combative libs.

I also see literal pro-Nazi/fascist threads. I’m talking about praising Hitler and calling for ethnic cleansing. They never seem to get taken down and are very active (often with little resistance).

These threads are not something I’ve dug for either. They are easy to stumble upon.

This is almost exactly what happened to Reddit, which is pretty much worthless now. I haven’t logged on in weeks.

I need to research more, but I know most social media companies have been infiltrated by ‘former’ US security stooges from the CIA etc.

I know anything remotely left wing gets suppressed by the algorithms, but I’m pretty convinced they are pushing hard right content.

    I really can’t comment objectively because I don’t use it anymore, just snapchat sometimes for someone I speak to only on there. And from what I see on Snapchat, yes:It’s like 90% more sexual because it’s supposed to make you horny and want to spend more time watching BullShit Snapchat Channel Stories, they have an option to pay for a “premium version” (which means Snapchat snitches to tell who is watching your story and how many times, and they added a fake TikTok feature to keep you on the app longer. TL;DR Snapchat got worse with more Clickbaity nonsense and overly-sexualized ads disguised as snapchat stories
