Lunatics always show up in my For You feed on Twitter. I always tag the company with a screenshot of the offending content with the advertisement. Lately it’s been weird advertisements. Shitty gambling apps, religious and personal accounts promoting their personal brand. So they likely don’t care.

Also I’ll never call Twitter anything but Twitter.

I exclusively am subscribed to porn accounts, so I find it super weird when right ring idiots show up in my feed.

That's what I use Twitter for too but what intrudes my feed is mostly memes and cat videos. While it may be true my experience however isn't that they're pushing right wing content to everyone because I'm not seeing it.

I don't know, I think there's room for appropriate change here;

  • Twater
  • Twit'er
  • Twixlers

I admit, my suggestions could use more help, but surely we must admit they've devolved from Twitter!?
