If you can browse Twitter without seeing a myriad of racial slurs and dogwhistles, you’re either browsing with your eyes closed or just don’t mind racism.
Onto the actual point
There’s a lot of people that agree that Trump wasn’t a complete liar. That doesn’t make it any less true that he was.
Still don’t think the internet should be censored, just think Twitter is a shithole.
Or you stay in your bubble, not seeing any algorithmic suggestion but only discussing with people you trust. Not saying it’s better but definitely one possible way to use it.
twitter has been the best place to get real time updates about both the ukraine war and now this israel v hamas conflict
i don’t doubt there’s a lot of questionable content on there, but the value in spreading information outside of “official sources” is huge. the first casualty in a war is the truth and governments would love to get rid of people spreading the reality of the facts on the ground
Yeah but when there’s a million and one people with zero knowledge on the situation parroting “facts” that’s called misinformation. Not to say that having a variety of viewpoints and sources isn’t important, just that a social media site where anybody can say or post anything isn’t the best way of getting it.
Twitter is, like any other public space, filled with those you choose to follow and their friends, etc etc. If you follow people who post things you don’t like, we’ll that’s what you get.
I swear I’m not just making this up. I’ll gladly take screenshots of the first 10 pages of my feed anytime and you won’t see anything distasteful. You will see crypto scams and some crypto bros saying nonsense, but that’s no different from walking into a 7-11 in the city. Haha
