> I believe “Twitter poisoning” is a real thing. It is a side effect that appears when people are acting under an algorithmic system that is designed to engage them to the max. It’s a symptom of being part of a behavior-modification scheme. At the very least, I think social media should be legally mandated to provide a chronological feed. I’d argue rules should go further and ban algorithmic feeds outright, though I’m not sure how such a ban could work in practice. Amusingly, I remember Musk himself was talking about open sourcing Twitter’s feed algorithm and other such aspirational goals. How times have changed!
