It’s a total culture shock any time I check twitter. After browsing user-moderated spaces (like lemmy or reddit) for so long, I’ve gotten used to very rarely seeing anything more than a mildly conservative opinion. Seeing extreme right-wing stuff, outside of spammers trying to shock people, is almost non-existent.
Then you open twitter and get reminded what largely unmoderated internet looks like again.
There’s still good content mixed in with everything, but right wing outrage bait is absolutely winning the algorithm battle over there.

Your user moderated spaces are also spaces where you choose your own information bubble, the same goes with Mastodon. So you’re only seeing extreme right wing content if that’s what you selected. Simple as.

And that’s actually not relevant, but thanks.

It is, there are largely unmoderated spaces on Reddit and Mastodon (probably also on Lemmy), there are specifically extremist right wing spaces on Reddit, Lemmy and Mastodon as well. You don’t have to see those, you chose wether you see those, that’s the beauty of it! Twitter only has one largely unmoderated space and just shoves whatever that produces into your face.
