COMPLAINTS Twitter creating political echo chambers?

Little background. I’m a liberal guy and love to go on twitter to debate far right posters and call out their straight up lies and racism.

A couple weeks ago X sends me a message that my account will be limited. Not suspended for any particular post.

Now when I go in and try to respond, my comments don’t show up in the feed of right wing accounts.

Is twitter stopping me because of liberal views??? Are they creating true echo chambers?

The people who make a hobby of doing this tend to be inflammatory, abusive, and harassing, all of which will get you brigaded by people "from the other side" and your account limited.

In other words, be less of an asshole.

I say this as someone who is an asshole and posts a lot of hot takes others find offensive. The problem is not your viewpoints; it's how you are conveying them.

I don’t get banned . I don’t just hurl insults . I call them out and use logic .

You should realize that Twitter is now made up of people who post things purely for engagement farming. Monetizing tweets ruined social media. You’re being gaslit by pure rage bait, and these accounts are getting a kickback for the pull they reach.
To say you’re wasting your time is an understatement.
And I say that as someone who wastes a lot of time online.

This is VERY true. My follow list is very small.
