I like Twitter when it comes to up to the second news in the world, NFL etc. I'm fully aware that it sometimes requires the ability to sift out bullshit, dumbasses, and things that aren't true.
However, over the past few months it has gone into the toilet. Who I follow is fine because that's straight forward. I've always liked the "for you" tab under search that puts together who I follow, things I search, and curates a list of new topics and tweets that fit my interests. It would always give you trending topics and breaking news about things you liked. It used to be fairly accurate with an occasional topic that was stupid. Now 75% is conspiracy theories, far right wing nut jobs, and flat out dumb excrement. I don't search or follow any of this excrement on Twitter, but it rains down on my suggestions. I'm not saying that I'm trying to avoid reading anything right of center, but it seems to have gotten skewed to psychos since Musk took over.
I'm not trying to make some political statement here. I know there are weirdos on all sides, but it has become useless and it really is skewed to tin foil hat topics on the right side. I've gone into the settings and unchecked all the stupid topics it thinks I'm interested in, just left the Jets box checked, but it does no good. It's still mostly Hunter Biden laptop/Epstein/Marjorie/Biden worships Satan/Charlie Kirk/Tuckerwuzright, etc. with an occasional freaking Kpop reference clouding out the one mention of Sauce.
It could just as easily be far left wing/BLM excrement and I'd have the same complaint. Maybe the world suddenly became retarded over the past few months and Twitter is just a mirror.
Anyone have a decent alternative? I tried Mastodon, but it kinda sucks so far. I'm sure I'm probably just going to be left with scraping away all the psycho Twitter people and dealing with it, but still.
