I will start:

It was after I saw that it rebranded to “X”. Set my acc to private, logged out and deleted it from my phone over the course of a day.

I asked a similar question on Masto months before, and decided that it would be great to do it here.

  • When he axed the moderation team, and it turned out that the algorithm is so broken it shows gore videos to people who have never clicked gore accounts.

    What I heard is that it mainly happened to people who follow gimmick accounts. Basically people would spam gore in the comments of those accounts, and the algorithm assumes that if you follow that account, you’ll also like gore.

    I haven’t heard about it in a long time, so it’s probably been fixed. But basically multiple people I know got a pretty horrendous video of a pet being killed on their feed, and I’m too sensitive to even RISK scrolling past that.
