Twitter claims its algorithm actually favors the right

The lies aren't to trick conservatives into believing what they actually live isn't real, they're to match the confirmation bias of their fanatic followers, who see bogeymen everywhere.
A tool to be cited in the "information war." The hilarious part is that people will cite this as if it means something.
"Oh, so you had the criminal investigate his own crime and he found that he was innocent and it was actually the opposite of what everyone thought? How shocking!"
Absolutely. That's why as a little hobby I'm keeping a list of all the media lies, which may be of use at some point later.
Although, I'll probably have to crowdsource help with refining it and making sure it flows better.
They lie with such frenetic frequency that it's almost difficult to keep up and remember them all, which is why I began keeping a list. Admittedly, the list also contains misinformation, obfuscation, and cover-ups as well, but I feel it's important to keep track of these things. It may come in handy later.
I believe them.
All they are really admitting here is how much manual moderation and alteration of trending topics they do to deliberately silence the right.
Yeah they're pretty explicit that it's the result of the algorithm that favors right leaning content, they don't want to be lynched like Facebook.
If the result favors the right but the algorithm doesn't that's AKA "nobody clicks on lefty content but they do click on righty content" and Twitter is just admitting that.
This is just.. it’s fucking madness. It’s not even clown world anymore, it’s the entire asylum. They’re looking into the sky and screaming that it’s green. This level of gas lighting should be a criminal offense.
Twitter bans right wing thought. That's not an algorithm, I don't think. And it can't be amplified if they banned it.
They moved the center though. Anything right of extreme is "the right"
That's pretty funny. They want to pretend that the opposite of reality is happening in order to rile up people to advocate for internet censorship while simultaneously trying to cripple the absolute fact that conservatives are censored on their platform.
Show me the last time they ran actual articles on their trending page that were promoting anything conservative.
Spoiler: they wouldn't be able to.
But once again, this is a perfect example of how they manipulate public perception in order to promote their agenda.
"Go ahead, ignore objective reality and what you live every single day," they say to people — and the frenetic potato-brain retards on the left drool and clap along like the mentally deficient seals that they are.
They want to know the why involved?
It's very simple, allow me to fill them in on this "shocking" secret, since these people are too damn stupid to figure it out: It's because there's far more people who hate what the left has become than these ideologically obsessed fanatic idiots realize!
It helps show succinctly that Mr. Most-Popular-President-Of-All-Time is a complete and total fabrication — an illusion created by surreptitious corruption.
The only reason that your platform would be "amplifying" what you consider "conservative" views, would be because those people are the majority.
Another prime indicator on why would also be because of the losers on the left incessant need for conflict.
How often does everyone see right-wing people following and commenting on every single left-wing personality's feed in a frothing outrage?
Personally, when I pass by, I see it very sparingly. On the other hand, you can look at almost every fanatic activist's follows and it's not only the usual corporate worship and mainstream talking heads, but it's also full of right-wing people that they supposedly "loathe" for being "bigots." The reality is these querulous activist nutcases are addicted to confrontation; they're bitter polemicists looking to vent their misery and ire onto socially acceptable targets.
A person could easily be forgiven for believing these odious goofs use social media as a type of therapy; an outlet much like the punching pillow of some therapist's office.
Of course common sense isn't actually as common as people may think these days. Instead, they'd rather live in land of make-believe where they ingurgitate whatever is shoved down their perpetually waiting throats.

Let me guess.... We built an AI to stop bad people and it keeps trying to stop us.
(Not so much first world problems as Bob Page problems.)
Chocolate Rations are up, yo!
I think they cut off the end of the sentence, here I'll post it
"~ for moderation actions"
Does it? I got knocked off Twitter for criticizing people who I voted for over the Unemployment/ Stimulus several times. Even if you are a democrat you cant criticize democrats, I was a democrat. Screw social media, I dont know why people stay on that bullshit.
I doubt it cause every time i go on Twitter it's all furries and trannies
