if he continually adjusts the algorithm to show a good mix, that would be a good thing.

Have you been living under a rock or something? He isn't doing that, stop trying to argue a situation that doesn't exist. He's pushing right-wing extremist propaganda in order to get near Trump.

He's not balancing anything.

I don't use Twitter/X, I just see outrage here on Lemmy and other left-leaning media orgs like CNN. So I take that outrage with a grain of salt, especially since those same groups disliked Musk before he bought Twitter. I dislike Musk too, but I try to not let that color my perception of what he's actually accomplished.

So I'm hesitant to take those complaints at face value. I didn't like Twitter before Musk bought it, and I like it less now, but that doesn't mean a whole lot, which is why I rely on statistics like these to help cut through the BS from the big media firms.

If you can point to actual tangible facts and not cherry picked content, we can have a discussion. I provided mine, and the stats look promising.
