Yep, I discovered recently that it would constantly fill my notifications queue with "someone whose posts you looked at ages ago retweeted something you don't care about" ... and would also neglect to notify me about the direct replies I was getting to my tweets. WTF?
- oneeyedpigeon 4y ago> someone whose posts you looked at ages ago Someone you follow, presumably? > retweeted something you don't care about Are you really expecting an algorithm to make a judgement call on that? Maybe that IS how Twitter is 'supposed' to work - if it is, then I'm glad that's not how it seems to be working for me! I'm encouraged by recent talk from Musk about 'opening up the algorithm' and even the potential of configuring it. Heck, just give me a decent front-end query language and let me build my own feed - I'd probably pay for that.

Maybe that IS how Twitter is 'supposed' to work - if it is, then I'm glad that's not how it seems to be working for me! A direct reply has higher notification worthiness than something it thinks I might be interested in. This shouldn't be controversial.
