Are you seeing a different Twitter than I do?
Of course you are.
- unethical_ban 5y agoThe examples of this kind of "run them out of town" reactivity is.
- rootusrootus 5y agoI dunno, I see it coming from all sides. Even the normal people in my life have become very political, and it doesn't matter which angle they're starting from. I see my original comment didn't get any love. I was just making a snarky remark about how Twitter probably uses algorithms to make sure your feed and mind are outrageous in their own specific-to-us ways.

- rootusrootus 5y agoIt was an observation that Twitter most likely uses algorithms to curate each individual feed, so any given reader is likely to sense a different trend. Very much on point for HN.
