Noticed that for American trends too. And no more stupid “description” for the trend which was always leftist-slanted. Glad this bitch and her team got fired:

Elon Musk exposed Twitter as a left wing propaganda psyop, which we all knew it was, but he provided the final confirmation.

Nothing we didn't expect tbh, Twitter was lying through their teeth and curating a media list for their agenda. All this shows to me is that social media is a cancer that gets used by the elites to push agendas down peoples throats, make them look credible. I really need to check my own countries trends because last time I did it was mostly regressive talking points (xyz is a nazi, climate change, racism, lgbtayylmao, etc.).

Update: Yes, my country still has regressive BS trending...but I expect this to be because there's so many retarded people here..

Look at Ghislaine Maxwell moderating half of reddit.

Or their ties to NATO industrial complex.

Reddit enticed users by promising free speech and Aaron Schwartz.

Instead the users got spez who cuckolded himself in front of every evil force in the world.

Can you imagine. Twitter, actually working as originally stated, not as the left intended.

Musk follows @nichegamer? 😂

Here is the article. https://nichegamer.com/gundam-anime-twitter-trends/

I'm curious what some of those political topics were about. Presumably stuff local to Japan.

I'm sure he has a team of people that filter out tweets for him that he might want to look at, but then again he replied within the hour, so he might be following?

Duh. Half of the stories that used to show up in the "what's happening" section, had not "trended", they often had low engagement, and sat where they did to push the narrative.

anime and video games

The nips just live their stereotype, don't they?

Even they can't tell each other apart in live action.

Stereotypes exist due to a combination of observation and confirmation bias. That "observation" part is the more important of the two, though. We think the Japanese like manga... Because they do. They make up about half their literature sales. We think the Japanese like video games, and look at that, most of the video game companies that make anything worthwhile are Japanese.

The stereotype wouldn't exist, if it weren't at least partially true.

When you get higher user rates, more positive ratings and are praised because you simply stopped people from coming to the office..

trending was curated to push particular political points? I'm shocked, SHOCKED I say!

Has anyone noticed if this is true for western Twitter? I haven't used the site in years

I never used Twitter before Elon took over so I don't know the sure, but the lack of obvious left wing favored topics tells me that it's true.
