This made me chuckle a bit. It’s like a manger thanking to their employees for admitting that a program needs a different team to be bug free. As I see it there is only one absolute: there are no absolutes.
I honestly don’t believe Twitter needs clean up. Rather user needs to use the tools at their disposal. Twitter has the best user-moderation tools and if it’s insufficient I see no reason why a third party client is not a sufficient solution.
- blitzar 4y agoI must use twitter differently to everyone else because I don't see the 90% of all twitter is bots and spam. My timeline is people I follow; sometimes they retweet absolutely demented retarded shit that makes no sense but they nevertheless believe in. "The algorithm" just brings the more engaged stuff from people I follow to the top, however, I don't use it because while I don't care about someone I follows hot take on thing happening right now, I care even less in 2 days time. As far as I can tell it hasn't turned me into a socialist / white supremacist. Occasionally I will take a look at "trending" - Yes 90% of what is posted is utter garbage, but its not coming from bots and spam, its coming from people.
