The thing that I dislike the most on twitter are the posts where so many people liked it twitter decides to show it to me even though I am not following the person who wrote it.
I understand why they are doing this, but most of it is noise. I feel like if I had a way to browse twitter without any posts with more than 1,000 likes, it would be a much better experience.
- misnome 5y agoUse an App that only gives you a timeline of people you follow, and their retweets (if you haven’t turned off retweets for that person).
- opan 5y agoSounds like the fediverse. Most posts don't get a lot of interaction there.
- TaylorAlexander 5y agoNo this is different. The issue is not that posts get more interaction on twitter. The issue is that twitter's algorithm shows me posts by people I am not following if the post is popular. But the kind of tweets that get 50k likes are just hot one liners that I don't care about. If twitter just showed me tweets only from my friends, this would not happen. I am also on the fediverse but I want twitter to behave differently because I like the people I am following on twitter, not all the random popular tweets by people I don't follow.
