X is already a far right echo chamber, if you create a new account and navigate to the "for you" page, all you see is Elon Musk, Alex Jones, Andrew Tate and other far right "role models".

It's unfortunate that X still retains a greater reach than its alternatives, but that can change in the medium term.

I follow a bunch of Japanese game developers, who at present don't have a strong motivator to leave X. Most of them are also on LINE, but I'm a little reluctant to try it since I don't actually read Japanese. (ETA: I looked at LINE just now and it seems more like a chat app than a board where users post information for anyone, so I think it's off the table.)

Then just don't navigate to For You. I wish I could just see my friends on Facebook (those are the people I care about), but I can't turn off crappy suggestions.

With X I can control my own feed by using the followers tab.

On that note, Facebook suggestions are 3:1 or 4:1 in relation to my friends.

The reason I only visit FB once a month to check for messages from some people who still use Messenger.

My “For You” used to show me cool gamedev stuff from people I didn’t know.

There was a part of the suggestions that I liked! The algorithm was working for me!

Now it’s 100% pure toxic outrage bait.

Many would not open an account on truth social, since Twitter/X is turning into it seems logical to encourage/help people leaving.

This. Never ever go to For You on twitter.

The For You page is just an example, Musk appears everywhere on the platform, watch a video, swipe it and a video of Musk (totally unrelated) pops up. X is basically a right-wing propaganda machine now, which is one of the reasons I don't use it.

[Uhhrrr]

"for you" means you want the algorithm to decide for you. Use "Following" instead.
