No, Twitter I think can safely be called conservative, as Elon Musk likes to broadcast Republican talking points into everyone's feed on a regular basis. If that has to be called neutral, then what is the point of this exercise?
Twitter is most definitely not conservative. Elon Musk may be the owner, but he’s just one person on there and I’m pretty sure you can mute him or ignore him.
it’s kind of crazy that just a few years ago Musk would have been solidly on the left, probably even considered a democratic liberal. And now he’s a conservative republican….but has he really changed?
Musk has stated repeatedly that X is supposed to be about free speech. Facebook is definitely not free speech. The most likely reason why you think X is conservative is because prior to Musks acquisition X was like most social media platforms and had a very far left lean, and actively censoring free speech. When X no longer could suppress the views of people who had a different opinion than somebody on the left they simply quit the platform. I was on twitter for 2-3 years before Musk bought it, and I saw many posts from various lefties stating they were quitting over various issues. Conversely more conservatives flocked to the platform because it’s the only legit social media platform they could access.
if you don’t believe me get on Facebook and X and make a post about how wrong gay marriage is or how Transwomen aren’t women or whatever floats your boat these days. Facebook will definitely censor you, X will not ( please note I don’t engage in this type of online behavior).
I frequent many SM platforms just to try to get a diverse feed of information and viewpoints. FB will just feed you whatever will keep you engaged as long as it doesn’t violate their trust and safety or whatever. So whatever they deem misinformation they will censor. Hunters laptop is just one prime example.
X (twitter) is just the wild fucking west. Anybody and everybody can spout off whatever they want, short of threatening murder or something.
Reddit is way left, like total communism and socialism. But I enjoy reading it, mostly.
