Do you hide tweets liked by the people you follow? Shadow notifications? "In case you've missed it" sections?
After a few refreshes of my Twitter homepage in a short time span, I did a little research: I've edited the CSS to make the distinction of "liked" tweets more obvious. Over 50% of "fresh" content turned out to be likes by the people I follow that are in no way chronological.
You can fight it... for now, but I assume not for long. I've stopped relying on Twitter for that same reason I've stopped relying on Facebook.
- badfrog 8y ago> Shadow notifications? Is that the name for the "recent tweet from X" notifications? Those have made Twitter notifications completely useless for me. :(
- r3bl 8y agoThat's how I refer to all the notifications that I didn't expect and don't need. As far as I know, there's no universal term for them. Since we already associate darkness with bad UX patterns, "shadow notifications" as a subset of "dark patterns" has a nice ring to it.
