Twitter is just a misinformation machine now. They got rid of anyone that made it a decent place. No more pesky moderation, sales and ad teams, etc. as long as it’s up and the sock puppets can foment dived, it’s serving its purpose.

It is a misinformation machine. Funny thing is, it always was. People just want their misinformation reign supreme.
I left Twitter a few months ago because the overall experience was getting worse and I had no desire to be fed culture war propaganda and AI slop non-stop.

I decided to dip my toes into Reddit after a few years of irregular use. The politics there are far worse, and far more one sided. The political takes on the main page are insane. We have a lot of mentally ill people in this country.

What are the insane takes on the main page? It's typically average american-left takes. What makes you think people with these takes are mentally ill?
Are you expecting an honest reply from a fresh troll account?
I was curious to see what someone elses perspective was on something I routinely engage with. I wasn't sure if it was someone trolling or genuinely upset.
