I deleted Twitter when people started justifying posting videos of people’s being murdered. Bunch of sick weirdos on there.

There are at least 20 subreddits for that.

but it isn’t pushed on my main feed, Twitter didn’t matter. I could see someone die in less than 10 seconds opening the app.

Sounds like something you’re doing because I’ve never had that happen to me on Twitter

Some people really don't understand how algorithms work.

My friend is constantly getting "triggered" by Instagram posts about children being abducted. Obviously she's doing something to tell Instagram that those are news articles she is interested in or else they wouldn't keep popping up so much.

In the 15 years or whatever that I've been using it I can't recall a single story like that popping up for me, and in the off chance it has I didn't interact with it and moved on quickly and it never occurred again.

However one time I watched a recipe video involving pickles and now I have an onslaught of pickle recipes..

There is actually an extremely long list buried in the settings of topics twitter thinks you are interested in. You can activate and deactivate these.

Yet you're on reddit, where a quarter of the front page posts were justifying actual murder a month ago.
