'Censorship regime'? In the time since Musk took over twitter I've gotten right-wing tweets forced into my feed despite not following a single right winger and a ton of high profile people have been banned for speaking out about him.

Not to mention that old Twitter never hamfistedly censored people by straight up shadowbanning users for using the words 'mastodon' or 'substack' in their tweets.

You literally said Twitter is less of an echo chamber and that makes me upset. I enjoy seeing a wide spectrum of ideas.

I said nothing of the sort. Before Musk took over I pretty much exclusively avoided political content, now smoothbrained right-wing content is artificially forced into my feed. I pretty much stopped using twitter all together due to that and the api being locked down, it just isn't worth using anymore and I only ever end up there to read something someone links me before I immediately close the tab.

Your “Following” feed only contains who you are following so the smooth brained right wingers shouldn’t show up there. If you see a smooth brained right wing tweet in the “For You” feed you can mark it as “Not Interested” and the algo will stop suggesting smooth brained right wing tweets.

Your snark isn't needed. I'm obviously not a user of the 'for you' timeline and still got those artificially promoted tweets from people I don't follow and were not retweeted by those that I do. It's why I stopped using twitter and I see no reason to change that.
