   Over on The Bird site, I started getting a bunch of right wing tweets in my feed because I happen to follow journalists who monitor that site. It was like turning on your faucet at watching dirty gray water come out. Blech!

     @georgetakei Seriously though, the bigotry is at a breaking point on there. what's worse is you retort back with anything and you end up being the one banned. Free speech my butt.

     @georgetakei
     I have noticed it on mine too.
     Fetid water is more like it.
     Anybody else notice, when you make a report, nobody gets back to you?

     @georgetakei I always treat that as an invitation to troll. Which probably explains why Twitter banned me.

     @georgetakei seeing people get permanent bans over there for fake reasons is pretty disgusting.

     @georgetakei I hear you. I miss Twitter, and I worry this is even more centrifuging of all us into Left and Right.

     I will note that Mastodon users have been very kind and welcoming.

     @georgetakei My feed there is unrecognizable. I don’t know what the point is of sticking so many right wing posts into my feed - unless they are sticking left-wing posts into the right winger’s feed. Forcing a bursting of bubbles may not be all bad, but it’s likely a one-sided thing.

     @georgetakei I think you’re just now able to see now, since people with more right leaning beliefs aren’t being suppressed, that your political echo chamber isn’t as shared and is a lot smaller than you once thought. You’re seeing that the political divide is a lot closer to 50/50.
