Social media algorithms recommending political content to people has always been extremely bad, and a significant factor in the ugly downward spiral of 21st-century politics. Of course, as always, the devil is in the details. For example, the question of what will qualify as "political" by their metrics. As I recall, Facebook had a tendency to classify LGBT-related events like pride nights as "political".

They've started pumping Threads content into Instagram feeds, which is on one hand a legit good way to bolster their usage, but on the other hand makes it harder to tell what a "Threads user" is.

My Facebook is nothing but cat and dog rescues sharing their residents, my kid's school's parents group complaining, people I barely knew when I friended them 15 years ago posting photos with their family, and ads for things related to my Google searches. The big purge I did in 2016 really helped, as I have zero right wing content unless you count things like the paranoid moms on the aforementioned parents group claiming they/their kids were being targeted by sex traffickers at Target because they saw a non-white person in the store and again in the parking lot.

I've also seen a recent uptick of AI-generated (or at least heavily photoshopped) egirls on Facebook these days, I think it's just getting desperate to find something I'll engage with. It's also come to believe I'm into opera and gardening, for no obvious reason In actual news, Nitter has been forced to shut down after Twitter killed the API loophole it used. haveblue fucked around with this message at 19:59 on Feb 15, 2024 |

Yeah eventually the instances get rate limited and you have to try another, which is a pain in the rear end so I barely bother clicking anymore, especially since a huge portion of whatever gets reposted is just right-wing garbage these days.

Same, but because I've set pihole and ublock origin to blackhole all twaxter traffic. Despite goons' loud proclamations of how much twaxter sucks, they sure can post threads so full of its content that I end up with a page of "dead tweet" images.

The artist formerly known as Twitter suspended Yulia Navalny's account briefly, which a generous interpretation is from accidentally tripping an anti-spam filter. She's best known as the recent widow of Russian democratic activist Alexei Navalny. https://www.vice.com/en/article/7kx...TvXPT1QZGtnZ3z0

Elon was taking monthly blue checkmark fees from sanctioned terrorists. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-68297121 X accused of taking payments from terrorists "The TTP said an account run by Ansar Allah, known as the Houthis, had also seemingly paid for its blue check mark. The check mark has now been removed. The account has over 23,000 followers. The Houthis are sanctioned in both the US and UK. The UK government says on its website that it has sanctioned the Houthis "to disrupt their ability to attack international shipping in the Red Sea, and to promote Yemen's peace, stability and security"." https://twitter.com/nandoodles/status/1758573998563016851 OgNar fucked around with this message at 20:26 on Feb 22, 2024 |

OgNar posted:Elon was taking monthly blue checkmark fees from sanctioned terrorists. A consequence of not having a good legal team and making important design decisions while doped up: 1) Require payment for verification 2) Make payments to verified users based on engagement* Neither decision on its own leads to funding a terrorist group, but a consequence of the two together is that Twitter is on the hook because they've been sending some of that content creator money to the Houthis.

This sort of thing (allowing financial transactions, openly, from the literal Ansar Allah in this case) not only causes a company like twitter massive financial headaches and creditor issues, but can be an immense problem for charities and nonprofits who end up with any kind of integral or incidental attachment to these transactions. Significant issues are really unlikely from this individual event, but if twitter's internal review competency degrades further and illegitimate transactions get worse or more high profile in the sort of weird unpredictable ways you can only guess at because the owner is an impulsive, emotionally unstable drug addict, you might start reading stories about 501c3 orgs deciding to part ways with X as a cya thing.
