Skimming Twitter after Biden's speech, I'm seeing about 20 RWNJs for each Dem/liberal

commenting on the speech.

I've never seen this much imbalance before.

I just typed in

Biden

and started skimming the top tweets.



Editing to add Ron Filipowski's tweet about the RWNJ reaction:

Editing again to link to a thread about a tweet I was particularly shocked to see near the top of the "Top tweets" on one of these searches, an illiterate diatribe against Biden from someone who had only 4 likes for the tweet, and only 19 followers, when I spotted it: https://democraticunderground.com/100217313089

1. Democrats are busy getting out the vote. . . . nt

2. I wonder if a lot of Democrats have already ditched Twitter?

5. I'm sure that's a part of it, but I'm also wondering if Musk has already changed the algorithm so

many more RWers show up as the Top tweets.

3. A mass exodus that leaves the place a nutjob echo chamber is in order.

6. Your problem is just typing in Biden. #1 trend rn is #DemsDeliverDemocracy

11. I usually skim after searching using names or keywords. That's why I noticed

the crazy RW imbalance for the Top tweets.

I've edited the OP to link to a thread with an example of what showed up as a "Top tweet" - an illiterate RW rant from someone with 19 followers whose tweet had 4 likes when I spotted it. Never saw anything like that pushed as a Top tweet before.

But now, 45 minutes after it was tweeted, with the account still having only 22 followers, the illiterate Biden-hate drivel has over a hundred retweets and nearly 400 likes.

10. If you access anti Biden/Democrat posts, they will appear more frequently.

I always click "not interested" on negative posts, and it keeps my feed pretty clean.

Just checked my twitter feed and did not see anything critical of Biden.

12. I do keyword or name searches to look for news or gauge reactions after an event.

13. It is Musk's new algorithm to put the RW before Dems

[highplainsdem]

15. That's what it looks like to me.
