Twitter was the #1 source of left-wing extremist noise in my life. I'm sure there were/are right-wing extremists on that platform too, but one seemed to appear in my algorithmic feed more than the other. Or perhaps it was confirmation bias. Who knows!
Good riddance.
There are few ways to strip out some of their 10-year "improvement" and oh how deserted it looks under there...
I think this is true of most social networks, and is more obvious in certain cases, e.g., Tumblr.
The truth: most of those messages are angry and argumentative, and most of those "active users" are just the same people being angry and tribal towards each other.
It makes for good stats, but like all stats, they're just numbers if presented without the context and analysis behind them.
