And many people find actual left-wing content offensive "on it's merits". Not sure what point you are making?
You're likely going to refuse to understand the point I'm making, but to anyone reading this thread in good faith it should be obvious. It is simply incorrect to claim that extremist right-wing content on Twitter is a counterbalance to some equal and opposite amount of extremist left-wing content, because said extremist left-wing content has never existed in the same quantities, nor to the same degree, as extremist r…

Always has been. People on here just act like it's new because opinions they don't like don't get shadow banned anymore.
It is new. Elon has intentionally redesigned Twitter to surface right-wing and extremist opinions, which no longer get banned, in order to purge the "woke mind-virus", and the platform is flooded with bots. Claiming that the platform is exactly the same as it's always been and then pointing out one substantial change from the way it's always been, is an insane degree of cognitive dissonance.
"Surface"? At least we agree on the censoring because before it was only left-wing extremism.

#46I know you're probably looking for English language websites, but if you just want the satisfaction of knowing that forums are still "a thing": This is a Dutch forum for Dairy Farmers. It's at the root of a lot of innovations: https://www.prikkebord.nl This is a Dutch forum for tractor enthusiasts. The people there are very helpful and you can basically restore a tractor as a newbie with their help: https://www.tract…

#48Just curious, is there any Russian forum that discusses software reverse engineering seriously? Now armed with AI it shouldn't be too hard to read the posts or even participate the discussions, and I know Russians are very good reverse engineers. Or any Eastern European language programming forums. In general I believe they are excellent software engineers.
There's a similar one about russian "startups" https://vc.ru/popular/month

#50Mastodon works for me, but you do have to work to build your network. Discoverability is a problem, but you follow people on your home server, follow the people they boost, see who they follow and follow them ... Then cull ruthlessly. Repeat a few times and quite quickly you find your personal feed full of things from interesting people. If you don't have "algorithms" to suggest things to you, you need to do the work…
Basically you have to curate your own feed. The platform should provide me with tools and features to do that effectively. Instead they keep trying to improve the algorithm.
