"We’re enabling you to mute keywords, phrases, and even entire conversations you don’t want to see notifications about"
So, instead of fostering more exchange of ideas and information, we're just going to have a bigger echo chamber to help perpetuate groupthink, misinformation and convenient lies?
I'm not trying to be rude but does no one else see why this is a problem?
- SolaceQuantum 10y agoNo one deserves attention merely because they are speaking.

- swampangel 10y agoIf you end up in the crosshairs of a user with many aggressive/abusive followers, seeing their tweets in your mentions ruins the SNR of your twitter experience. There's a reason why celebrities have had the "quality filter" available for ages. A very high volume of tweets makes it more difficult to use twitter to communicate.
- striking 10y agoPeople don't want to see the world as it is, they want to see the world as they see it. Twitter has decided that instead of focusing on showing the world as it develops, instead of closing the digital divide and creating a space for the "new media"... They want to be a social network. And make money from it. (yeah, right) I want a better Twitter to exist someday. I might make one myself (and no, GNU Social isn't good enough yet). But that Twitter would have to be focused around things that are happening, around global occurrences and real news. Not some stupid internet catfights that could be solved by turning one's phone off for a day.
