When I logged in about six weeks after the ownership change my feed included Elon Musk, Andrew Tate and 2-3 other right wing influencers. I follow none of these people, I have zero interest in what they have to say and I find them reprehensible. I deleted my account and haven't used the platform since.

I stopped in today after months because my friend is launching a game and I wanted to give them a like and a comment. When I left Twitter my feed was just nerd shit and makers.

When I logged in today it was several right wing advertisements at the top. When I went to search it was more Trump shit. I just wanted to support my indie friend. That's it for me.

I've just had to look out a morbid curiosity and yeah it's all Trump. I am being encouraged to vote for Donald Trump. This is a man who is to anathema pretty much all of my beliefs, of course I'm not going to vote for him he seriously wants to be a dictator.

Also, I'm not American so I can't vote for him anyway.

I already voted so I can't vote for him either.

The only person I had blocked on Twitter before I deleted my account was Elon.

I swear I couldn't be that annoying if I tried.

Yeah same. When he started topping my feed despite me blocking him I ejected from his platform and washed my hands of the whole thing.

I've never had a Twitter account, but this makes me want to create one just so I can quit
