Anecdotally I’ve had loads of issues with twitter these past few weeks. I had to re-block a bunch of accounts I swear I had previously blocked. (Mostly brand accounts. I had previously blocked just about every major company to stop getting their ads, and suddenly started getting ads from large brands I’m almost certain I had blocked before)
Plus suddenly I’m getting really weird “topics” or whatever these random posts are in my feed. I’ve opted out of several of them and they just keep appearing. Like “popular videos” keeps inserting itself into my feed, and if I click on it it will say “don’t worry, you won’t see more of these” every time. I’ve clicked the “never show me this” button a dozen times or so and it’s still appearing in my feed.
Not to mention just the general algorithm being bad. I follow tons of accounts. But last few times I’ve checked twitter there’s maybe a page or two of new posts, then I scroll a bit further and it’s the same stuff as yesterday. Or tweets from a few days ago that I already saw. I’ve had to manually check the pages of people I follow to find their tweets. I’m just missing lots of stuff now.
Twitter is slowly falling apart. I think it’s only a matter of time before larger site-breaking issues appear. Most of the accounts I follow are also posting to mastodon now, and at least there mastodon will show me their posts in my feed.
