My Twitter is great. I follow AI, VR, Philosophy, Zen, Mindfulness, Twertzog, etc... all high quality. Same with Facebook. I'm very happy with my feed. I follow vintage photography, various art focused groups, philosophy groups, hacker and tech groups and I've unfollowed friends who post toxic shit. I enjoy looking at Twitter and Facebook in the morning. Twitter and Facebook AI's are constantly surprising me with cool stuff they surface for me, even ads. Twitter and Facebook don't have to suck.
- gpanders 6y agoThey suck because this is not the default path or the path of least resistance. Without intentionality and vigilance, your Facebook/Twitter feed does inevitably turn into shit because that’s what their engagement algorithms push you toward. I think it’s great that you’ve tailored your content so well. But you’re the exception rather than the rule.
- okareaman 6y agoIt does take constant tuning. Some twitter accounts get manic and tweet storm. I unfollow and save a bookmark to come back when they calm down. Some FB groups turn toxic or get a new dictatorial moderator. I'm constantly pruning and adding, but I enjoy the curation. I realize I'm the exception. My point is only that those sites can be really good with effort and awareness.
