At least you don’t have to use the default feed. You can make your own.


The default feed is orders of magnitude more visible than the cherry-picked low-follower-count users that formed the basis of this article.

There’s a tremendous double standard here. The offensive right wing content is something you’d have to explicitly search for, whereas the offensive left wing content is front and center.


Imagine thinking the right has learned to tolerate different opinions that they find offensive.


It's disingenuous to try to present all offensive subject matter as "differences of opinion" and objections as politically motivated.

Some subject matter, such as terrorist beheadings, animal abuse, sucker-punching strangers, etc, is just plain illegal and should not be publicized and glorified.

YOU may not agree, but society and the legal system has.


Out of curiosity, which part of the world are you in?

While agreeing that every side and compass orientation has conspiracy theories and ragebait, here in North America the right / Conservatives are foaming-at-the-mouth livid at the (real, Perceived, or mixed) wokeness / communism / liberallness of "mainstream media".

In this neck of the woods, the sentence "right has learned to tolerate different opinions they find offensive" isn't even hilariously wrong, it's tragically, despairngly, painfully bizarre :-(.


Most of the calls for censorship of right wing voices has specifically been about them inciting violence and riots (e.g. against asylum seekers).


Ah, so you agree that a "white nationalist with Neo-Nazi links" is accepted as a right-wing voice these days? That's how it has looked to me since Charlottesville, but it's always nice to get it confirmed by people with different perspectives.
