Every time Twitter comes up on HN people complain about missing reverse chronological order and hating on the liked by tweets feature. The old classic mode is one click away. Or am I in a weird long running A/B testing group still having access to this feature? I know the default mode is not what most people here like but is it really that hard to switch the display mode?
- dmd 7y agoIt's not hard at all, it's just not permanent. After about 3-4 days twitter "helpfully" sets one back to the order they want you to see.
- driverdan 7y agoIt's at least a few weeks before it reverts for me.
- anonymoushn 7y agoTwitter regularly switches you back to garbage mode without telling you, and you have to mute all the words in this submission to make classic mode work. muting all these words does nothing if you are in garbage mode.
- drdeca 7y agoOn my intentionally not updated install of iOS twitter, it doesn’t have the garbage mode (still has some inserted garbage, but is otherwise chronological)
- goodmachine 7y ago> Twitter regularly switches you back to garbage mode Right. The other problem is that garbage mode is two-way. I don't want to see other people's likes etc, and I don't want to have my own garbage jammed into anyone else's feed either. Short of going private there's no fix for this.
- maxerickson 7y agoIt seems adaptive, my impression is that I have to toggle it back less and less.
- alpb 7y agoActually it's 2 clicks away. As someone launches twitter 20 times a day I don't wanna click around every day for no reason.
