Twitter is a smaller, less powerful company with a much smaller userbase and it only really has the main Twitter service, while Facebook is more encompassing with services like Messenger, groups, events, pages, Marketplace, Workplace, dating, Portal and now a Substack clone (not to mention Instagram, WhatsApp and Oculus).
Also, Twitter’s feed is (largely) chronological.
- wyclif 5y agoChronological is not the default on Twitter. You have to toggle to "Latest" for that. Twitter knows that showing what the algorithm wants you to see drives more engagement than a chronological feed.
- ageek123 5y agoBut the things this author is criticizing about Facebook in the quote I posted really only apply to the main Facebook service -- not Messenger, Marketplace, Workspace, dating, Instagram, etc. And they apply equally to Twitter.
