@scott this needs to be archived somewhere. I've only just learned of it and see so much value!

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
