I'd like to understand what's the difference between your Twitter settings and mine. I don't really see much difference, no conspiracy theories and same number of adds as before...

And yet, the world's population is (unfortunately) accelerating at a more rapid pace than ever before.
Hmmm....

Twitter has become more and more unusable. Accounts you have never followed are showing up in your time line as if you were following them, using posting wild conspiracy theories. Many of these accounts have 12 - 15 followers (bots). I find I'm spending more and more time blocking these "accounts" and this makes the site virtually useless.
The ads are horrific as well. They show up after ever 2-5 tweets by allegedly real users and are usually for some junk supplement Alex Jones would sell or some cheap tee shirt from a company you've never heard of.
The items showing up as trends are usually associated with some conspiracy theory pushed by the right so time is taken up telling the algorithm you're not interested in the particular subject or person.
I haven't been back on Reddit but I am spending more time on Mastodon.
I also notice very few people from Tennis Twitter have moved.
I mentioned the soft-core porn that started showing up. That has disappeared--for now. Maybe it's because I blocked every user I saw. But the deluge of political posts is the problem now, and the vast majority of that is right-wing nutjob types (some are bots, but not all of them). And then there are the Elon Musk worship posts.
It has become very unpleasant. But so far, I keep sticking around for the pics and videos of goats in the horse barns and some other good stuff.

The problem for me right now is that most of Tennis Twitter is still on the Bird App. That includes both tours and the ITF.
A quick scroll through this huge spreadsheet shows almost no sports journalists have moved.

This list of journalists on Mastodon is getting pretty long — over 1100 listed. This is a floor, who knows how many more in media are not listed.

It really puzzles me why a man like Fauci triggers such responses.
It is like being mad at Vitamin C.
