CoffeeGeekAn 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.

Democracy Matters 
The problem in America isn’t that Joe Biden is old. It is that a former president who plotted to kill the next two people in the constitutional line of succession is not being challenged as he attempts to return to the White House. But sure, let’s keep pretending that Joe Biden’s age is what really matters, and ignore the lying insurrectionist running the Republican Party. — Jason Easley, Managing Editor, PoliticusUSA

Chris Smart"If you are not a scientist, and you disagree with scientists about science, it's actually not a disagreement. You're just wrong. Science is not truth. Science is finding the truth. When science changes its opinion, it didn't lie to you. It learned more."
Dan GillmorDear journalists who remain on Twitter:
You actively participate on a site operated by an extremist right-winger who promotes other extremists who want, among other things, to end democracy. The end of democracy means, in case you haven't grasped this yet, the end of freedom of expression.
This means you are actively supporting his business -- and you're doing it for free.
Please grow a spine, and stop helping the people who hate you and want to destroy what you do.
