Imagine if it was just a chronological order of tweets and retweets from your followers. And that’s it. No algorithm. Twitter would be so much better.

- Avshalom 5y agothere's literally a button for that, you click the three stars at the top and select "see latest tweets"
- philliphaydon 5y agoAny idea how to do this on desktop? I only really reply to people on mobile and rarely browse Twitter on there.
- Avshalom 5y agoOn the non-mobile website there's the same icon at the top of your feed. I don't know about any of the desktop clients
- dr_dshiv 5y agoAgree. And imagine if, instead of a single “good for all” black box algorithm, one could simply apply custom filters. “See less of this” or “always show” or “no retweets”. People are obsessed with personalization algorithms and disappointed when this involves giving people control to personalize. As though personal control isn’t magical enough (in comparison to the magic of the algorithm).
- megous 5y agoThat's how I use twitter. I had to implement this complicated concept myself by scraping tweets from accounts I follow into local database, and then displaying data from that database in chronological order.
- Saint_Genet 5y agoThat's what the timeline setting does the mobile client at least (not counting the occasional ad)
