“Michelle Obama is a man” is still around?? That shit is old enough to go to high school now
It would have dropped out at the 8th grade to pursue a SoundCloud rapper career
america will always work to keep the most heinous racism alive
Pim Tool is literally the poster child for the concept of Malding, how does he even have an audience?
Fascists love him because he pretends to be more "left leaning" than he is, but only exclusively has right wing talking points and guests. His videos are also all ragebait of him being angry at some Daily Mail or Breitbart article. He's basically what all white libs want to be: a mediocre white guy that got rich by promoting the worst chuds and chud ideas on the internet under the guise of "journalism"
he pretends to be more "left leaning" than he is,
like that picture of him trying to hide from the camera as he's hanging out with other fascist dimwits
I sometimes listen to the majority report as background noise if im out of other stuff and them dunking on Tim Pool can be pretty entertaining. You just know it gets under his skin.
Him inviting Emma Vigeland to "sushi, a tour and poker with the boys" will never not be funny
I remember just after muskrat took over, he was jamming himself into my notifications, I promptly deleted my account the day he let Jordan Peterson back on.
checking my alt recently it's just full of bots trying to get me to buy crypto, and win prizes! luckily musk purged all the 'bots', right. at least all the bots who were following Justin Beiber and Barack Obama, well done on having the mostest followers elon, and having absolutely no bots following you, very impressive!
Nightmare blunt rotation
It's the same with Threads. Instagram started advertising Threads and shows the most dramatic political posts, usually written in that annoying "the Zionists are tiiiired" voice
Zionists are tiiiired
Ted Lasso soy fascism
Peter Sweden still posting, huh? Not a name I've heard in a long time.
There are a lot of people inside him and they’re panicking
How are they even getting these notifications????
Maybe Elon's takeover was some long-con MKULTRA plan to manipulate social media algorithms.
"Ruzzia going to invade Europe", antivax, virulent (and stupid) transphobia, virulent (and stupid) xenophobia
Just need to get some fearmongering about the crime rate, anti abortion lies, and 'economic anxiety' in there to really get it all
Peter Sweden? That guy who got really mad about meatballs? He’s still kicking?
I maintain my stance that the idea of combining ground meat with a binder and seasonings is too generic for anyone to lay claim to
While I do believe that Twitter is slowly becoming a right-wing paradise due to its owner's say....... "tendencies".....AND has an interest to push its users towards that direction, I doubt the veracity of these pictures since it would mean that Twitter's algorithm would have gone completely bananas.
While "trust me bro" sources often confirm what we all think, they often don't tell the whole story and have the sole purpose of going viral, especially on Twitter.
Anyways, what's Twitter? Is that a knock-off Mastodon?
it would mean that Twitter's algorithm would have gone completely bananas.
Elon forced a ton of backend changes that have noticeably fucked with the site, one of the first thing he did when taking over was straight up removing ~80% of backend processes he deemed "useless" despite having zero knowledge of how the site actually works. Combine that with his regular boosting of chud conspiracy accounts and the proliferation of scam and porn advertisers on the site, and it doesn't seem out of the question at all for new Twitter users to get the shit in the OP pushed on them unprompted.
If it wouldn't surprise you why was your first instinct to call this false and defend Twitter with an argument like "that wouldnt make sense"?
You see how your obsession with giving fascists the benefit of the doubt just helps them?
Didn't know about that obsession of mine, thanks doc :P
Seriously though, let me rephrase: What I meant with my comment is that I have as much trust in a Twitter user as I have in Twitter and Elon Musk, which is zero.
So, when talking about Twitter, I trust what I can look up everywhere: I can look up that Twitter fired more than half of its workforce, and in addition I now know that Elon Musk likes to obsess about Twitter's code when he knows nothing about it and that he made changes to its code over and over again.
As you can see, I am not giving Elon or Twitter the benefit of the doubt, I'm doing the exact opposite: If it's posted on Twitter, it's most likely false until proven otherwise. Wouldn't make sense to distrust the same person when they tell me something that I know is false, and trust them when they tell me something that I like, would it?😂
If you're talking about "arguments", there's enough shit that happens around Twitter, using the dubious screenshots of a Twitter user as arguments just weakens everything else. This is just a "sad if true" and a great conversation starter for us. I wanted to take a jab at the possible truthfulness of those screenshots, learned about the fact that Elon did in fact, in its infinite wisdom, change considerable part of Twitter's backend and could have fucked up the algorithm, and thus am quite convinced that not even new Twitter users are safe now. At this point I even pity the Twitter bots.
Anyways, carry on :)
It wouldn't surprise me if the recommendation algorithm is based on Musk's personal account or something. He wants to be the most important person on Twitter.
It could be operating off of cookies or something. Let me tell you, I've looked at incognito Youtube many times (to bypass a sitewide block I myself put on because I'm stupid) and it has a lot of ViRAl stuff, but also a really clear right slant. This probably wasn't the only stuff the friend saw, but I'd be very willing to believe that it was like a fifth along with more innocuous viral-marketing bullshit. Sooner a thousand Shapiros than a single account left of Nancy Pelosi.
Michelle should just wear a trans flag colored outfit one day in public just to stir the 
. Of all the stupid shit conservate snowflakes melt about.....
lol at the person being all "why hasn't threads or bsky killed twitter yet?" like that would meaningfully improve the situation. those platforms also have a bunch of reactionaries on them, and well boosted by their algos to boot
