unprecedented insights in this research.
Wait til they release their paper on water. You'll be shocked.
I was shocked by their paper on static.
There paper on water was surprisingly dry.
The fact that ppl still use that fascist platform is beyond me. Where is the boycott?
Honestly I wonder if this skews the data at all. 10 people use Twitter, 1 of which is fascist; 5 decent people leave, and now the site is 10% more fascist. Is that driving users more rightward, or driving off more left audiences?
Conservatives like using X.
most people just do what's convenient, then they repent
Uh yeah, that’s why Elon bought it.
"Fascist propaganda machine found to indoctrinate users with the mental illness of fascism"
Which was the purpose of Elon Musk buying it all along.
The algorithms are fucking designed specifically for that purpose!
Is it a coincidence that X is also the epicenter of corporate-funded CSAM generation?
(BTW the byline on this post, "Facebook, Instagram and YouTube being no better", is not backed by the Gizmodo article)
Pretty sure you had to tie a phone number to an account for years now...
Everyone that interacts with that stuff, Elmo knows.
Imagine getting a phone call from a bot one day going over all the worst shit you've done on the internet and saying if you don't do x/y/z then it'll release your history to everyone you know.
It's a large scale Epstein style blackmail ring on average people.
Which doesn't sound that scary till you realize they know everything about these, where they live, who they work for, who their neighbors are, what picks up kids from the same school.
There's no indication it's happening yet, but does anyone think Elmo is above it? Hell, he could be DMing people saying they have to vote Republican or he releases their Twitter history.
No shit, Sherlock!
people left on X are already conservative
There’s a surprising number of very stubborn and slightly delusional (they’ve convinced themselves they’re doing good by staying on Xitter and “fighting”) leftists on there unfortunately.
I thought the Nazi salute would be the nail in the coffin but apparently those people can’t comprehend social media isn’t just a space like the person who owns it literally can control everything and easily manipulate you.
It's the intersection of social media addiction and virtue signaling. I don't have a problem. You have a problem with my praxis.
And how did X get there?
Indoctrinates users into radical patrio-fascism
Omg remember when they were selling teslas on the whitehouse lawn? I fucking hate it here
The Website with a CHILD PORN BOT on it Makes people CONSERVATIVE? I would NEVER Had Guessed!
And more Nazi. This doesn't really seem like news.
I get recommendations pushing towards conservative media in you tube all the time and i have my recommendations off. It's hilarious to be looking for writing advice and getting some woman giving thinly veiled fascism in her writing channel.
where are those sky-are-blue news comming lately?
What we knew for years, huge swaths of the gen pop still have to learn.
