An observation about Tweeterville.

Today, I signed on with a new account just so I could grab my soon to be fully deleted (after waiting 30 days) old CoffeeGeek account name so someone else doesn't take it over for bad purposes.

In the new account I set up, I followed only 5 accounts, because when you sign up, you're forced to follow accounts. They are all coffee related.

When I scrolled through the 'for you" feed, the vast majority of it is

a) right wing propaganda,
b) pro Trump things
c) pro Elon things
d) hateful commentary on Biden and Harris
e) an extreme amount of hate for Paris and the Olympics because transgender folks were part of the opening ceremony.
f) anti Trudeau commentary (I guess because it knows I'm in Canada).

This is what all new signups on ElonVille apparently see when they create a new account. Very disturbing and disgusting. This is the algorithm Elon forces on all new signups, apparently.

Everyone needs to leave that platform.

Like the "Darwin Awards", we need to create the "Leopard Eat My Face Awards", and I nominate the IVF fiasco in Alabama as the best candidate for this year.

Trump went off the teleprompter in an eruption of particularly demented fear and loathing. And he did it at the major "conservative" -- that is, right-wing extremist -- conference that welcomed Nazis and featured a social-media nutcase who said his ilk would finish the job they were doing on Jan. 6.

You would not know about all of this if your source of political news is the Washington Post, or the New York Times.
