Twitter has gone to the dogs. It was my favourite social network by a long way as it allowed serendipitous interactions with people I would never usually directly be in touch with. With the rise of Trump and his nazi posse they decided to optimise for hits/quantity and indirectly controversy. I didn't think about it but I recently realised I don't visit twitter very often anymore while it used to be a daily occurrence. The problem with their model is that despite filtering heavily it is practically impossible to stop the nazi asshole mob leaking into your feed.
News like this just further distances me from any desire to use twitter. Seriously considering deleting my account despite the value it previously delivered.
- na85 8y agoTwitter was in decline well before Trump took office. The feed algorithm makes it more or less impossible to actually have a conversation, and as evidenced by the article the company itself is spineless.
- rorykoehler 8y agoI would agree about already being in decline however I feel like Trump and their facilitation of him and his bs guaranteed they will never turn it around.
- mindcrash 8y agoNot spineless, just following orders. Do some research.
- rorykoehler 8y agoThat's the same thing.
