I find it rather odd that some people don't believe that there wasn't a massive ideological bias against more right wing views at the old Twitter.
Shows the extent to which we probably all live in our own bubbles.
i do have my own unproven theory on that and might be due not being a hugely active user in some way. I see the comments from say a right leaning person that all they see is left leaning stuff...we'll im left leaning generally and i most see right leaning stuff (the little i use it), some sort of quirk in the algorithm if you dont actually follow or interact with many people
The way it should work is that if you follow left leaning, they recommend right leaning and vice versa.
I only follow about 10 people, of which I'd say 3 are left, 3 are right, and the others are centred / news feeds. So I think I just confuse the algorithm. Under the "For You" tab I do get a wide range of suggestions.
One lefty/Corbynite they've got me following is Aaron Bastani. I don't agree with much he says, but I acknowledge that his writings/views do make me think a bit more.
Which is how it should work, right?
