Blocking those who like a tweet seems excessive. Plenty of bad hits — people who use likes as bookmarks, etc. What would be really nice is to be able to group block by profile content, or if they were simultaneously followed by five accounts of your choosing. Some fine-grained blocking like that would be nice; it would also be nice if muted words & phrases would also apply to search results — I've seen too many sneak through, especially when attached to hashtags.
- davidmurdoch 5y agoYeah, mass blocking people only creates more isolated filter bubbles for everyone involved. Seems like a great way to create an echo chamber though. Edit: wait, why the downvotes?
- _teyd 5y agoDepends on who you are blocking. If it's anyone who slightly disagrees with you and anyone who likes them, then you'll probably quickly end up blocking literally everyone. But if it's people who are off-topic replying that Bill Gates is inserting microchips in vaccines, flat earther, or other Qanon style posts and those who upvote them, I don't really personally mind the loss.
- ramesh31 5y agoNah. The SnR of Twitter is absolutely abysmal. The only way you can possibly use it effectively is to accept that there will be false positives caused by your filtering heuristics.
- adastra22 5y agoPrune the people you follow and don’t use the algo feed. My Twitter feed is very high SNR.
- unlaxedneurotic 5y agoI too disabled the default "Recommended by Twitter" feed and instead chose to view only tweets by accounts I follow in a chronological order. Absolutely no political stuff. This resulted in a very pleasant twitter experience.
