Every article by this writer is negative about how whatever they are writing about is bad. And I’m not sure there’s any solutions offered except for platitudes about things “ought to be”.
Twitter is fine. Use the “Following Tab” if you want to avoid the algo. I think some people are starting to find their ideas aren’t dominate and selected for like they were under previous management. Hence why we’ve seen backtracking in other spaces so quickly this week. The righteous mob doesn’t have their global safe space anymore.
- rsynnott 3y ago> Use the “Following Tab” if you want to avoid the algo This only works if all of the people you follow are also avoiding the algo; otherwise you will see its works in their retweets.
- nemo44x 3y agoI can see that I guess. But I’ll say I think it has improved, at least for me, the last year. It felt very 1-sided and thought cleansed before. And now I see a far wider spectrum of opinion. You could argue this just tries to generate engagement through outrage or w/e but I think it’s healthy. A certain slice of the population probably got too comfortable seeing their side automatically promoted and their opposition silenced.
- insin 3y agoThis is why I use Following but put Retweets in their own tab (which I rarely look at), all I get is what people I follow are actually saying. It makes Twitter "boring" - which is a good thing.
