View submission: U.S. Politics megathread
People are feeling emotional about the new presidency, and engaged in politics due to the inauguration, all these executive orders, and recent events in the news. The result is more engagement with political and emotionally charged posts.
Just about everyone here hates Twitter/X, even people who use it frequently, and so banning it from the site is understandably quite popular. Sure, there could be a conspiracy, but I don't see why one would be necessary. Particularly since the algorithm automatically suggests similar content to people, and right now half the subs on this site have "we're banning X" posts. Meaning people keep seeing new versions of them in their feed.

Thanks for your input. It was just a gut feeling. Im totally on board with the boycott but everytime I feel even a bit manipulated I stand still and enter suspicious mode.
