I really hope this brings doesn't turn out to be another "elon musk will be flooding your timeline even if you don't follow him or have ever interacted with his tweets" scenario. I wouldn't really want to start seeing people whom I have no interest in following in my timeline. But also, I do value good recommendation algorithms, and they can definitely be helpful in improving the site. So it remains to be seen if this will be a good change or not.

> I wouldn't really want to start seeing people whom I have no interest in following in my timeline. My city authority(police, mayor, emergency services etc.) posts latest affairs and developments live on Twitter, so I use Twitter solely for these news(I don't follow any friends in Twitter because I am not interested in their political views or silly retweets). What helps me most is that, when I see an account trending too much on my timeline, I simply mute that account and somehow it also seems to reduce the similar other accounts showing up in my timeline eventually. I mean no harm to anyone of course, but I want to see the news of my city(because keeping track of 10 different news portal is tough compared to live tweets from the source) but when these important things get flooded by random people posting why Taylor Swift should adapt keto diet or whatever, I have to mute the accounts.
