I also found that Elon was always in my feed even though I don't follow him, so I blocked him and now he's gone.

- abathur 3y agoSo you're the reason he wants to remove the block button :)
- klardotsh 3y agoIf I recall from the algo weighting dump they did last year, Elon is hard-coded to be basically the absolute most important thing to the sorting algo with a pretty long decay time. When he posts, it's effectively guaranteed to be in all Twitter users' feeds, and that's how he wants it. Then again, I don't know first-hand; I quit Twitter many months before it got this version of Billionaire Buffoonery as an owner.
- rpastuszak 3y agoSame here: 1) block the brain parasite, 2) disable half of the UI using an ad blocker, 3) condition yourself to click the "Following" tab without noticing it, and 4) voila, now you have a semi-pleasant Twitter experience.
