So I follow this guy who talks about firearms and gun issues. He posted an article about a black ATF agent who is acting Director. He had 30 years experience. And Biden is demoting him and nominated a white guy who is pro gun control. I know, I know, I voted for this crap. TDS

But if you click the link you get a Twitter warning that the website may be "unsafe." A bunch of people in the thread suggest a technical issue but non of the solutions solve it. I doubt it is a coincidence.

Twitter leadership are politically partisan liars and their workers tilt dramatically left in general, so biases creep into their work product and because of group think, they don't notice it or have a way to detect and police it.

Or the most likely answer is that they think they're right to censor ideas they don't agree with. A significant portion of the left is ok with censorship of non-conforming ideas.

Twitter is insanely biased and manipulated and has taken it to further and further extremes in the last year especially. I really can't even imagine just how corrupted and bad it really is in terms of bots and foreign influence, nothing would surprise me. The good news is they have gone too far and made it too obvious. Once Musk gets control it's going to be really interesting to find out how deep the rabbit hole it all went, right now I just look on Twitter as so many leftists are desperately trying to maintain control and have gone completely off the rails. Every looney Leftist conspiracy or theory Trends no matter how ridiculous and it doesn't matter how many people are actually tweeting it.

If you can't look at Twitter and see just how bad social media is manipulated and how they are trying to manipulate you I don't know how to help you.

I can't see Twitter because I never use it. "Social" media is a horrible invention and a taint on the legacy of humanity.

I took a break for over a year from Twitter but have come back to since Musk is making a move. It's just amazing to see how much worse it has gotten, they don't even try to be subtle or hide it anymore. In the end though it's an amazing aggregator of news and information, you just have to ignore a lot of garbage. If Musk can take it over and just make it a true free speech platform it will be fantastic.

Elections are when people find out what politicians stand for, and politicians find out what people will fall for.

I just don't get the penchant for reading what some ****tard schmo thinks about anything, nor Celebrities' idiocy. FB, Twitter, IG, TikTok....all moronic.

Even Musk won't make it a "true free speech" platform. There will still be censorship

I've been off since January 2021. I'd go back potentially, but frankly life is better without it.

And with doing away with dissenters, by force if necessary.

Highly visible Data on views and rating are what has made social media damaging socially. It seriously affects the mental well being of a large portion of the population, particularly females per the data, but it is also necessary to monetize the technology by giving indication of relative economic value and providing data to mine.

I don't use it for opinions other than from people I am actually interested in, it is valuable though as an instant way to get news. The comments are like reading the worst parts of Reddit though. The site has great potential if Musk can clean it up. I certainly DGAF about celebrities and have never understood the obsession going back before the internet, that crap is like reading a Gossip magazine when you are checking out of the grocery store.

The others I couldn't care less about.

I disagree, strenuously. You have to wade through more bull**** than a Mike Rowe show about bull*****

Agree to disagree, though.

Props on proper use of "couldn't care less", though. That's a commonly mis-written phrase here.

pretty sure his issue is that he posted a link with http and not https that is the reason for the warning

Imagine, if you will, that twitter did this same **** during the 2020 election cycle. Amplifying anything negative towards trump and hiding anything positive.

It could almost lead a frequent purveyor (perhaps one whose every OP is a twitter link) of twitter to become infected with TDS.

It's a biased filter, not an aggregator

Not sure if it's Twitter's algorithms, their mods, or just the fact that liberals report everything not aligning to their deranged worldview. But the few times I have made an account, I would be shadow banned or have my comments pushed into the "other" bin never to be seen by others. Usually within a matter of weeks.

My current favorite thing on Twitter is that since I follow LibsofTikTok they are shadowbanning them but they are putting Occupy Democrats in my feed because "LoTT also follows"...

I mean do they really think this works? It just shows how desperate and stupid they are.

The great reset is well underway. The shenanigans going on in china and probably russia/Ukraine are part of it. Anyone who attempts to push back against "correct thought" is being censored and attacked.

Watching obama carrying water for twitter was infuriating. Anyone tries to push back against centralization is marginalized and attacked. I hope obama gets asked if Parler's shutdown was part his first amendment overreach.
FBO!

Are we at the stage where even the richest man in the world can't fight back?

They marginalised President Trump and the bas***ds will try to do the same to Musk and Desantis.

The time to strongly resist is NOW!

If you are on twitter, you should be blocking every company advertising on the platform (trust me you won't be missing anything). You should also be making twitter the most toxic pathetic social media platform to exist. Its run by trashcan humans for trashcan humans. They are your enemy. Treat them the same as they treat you.
