No thanks I won’t waste my limited lifetime tweaking some algorithm to serve me better ragebait.

Haven’t used any of these platforms in the last 5 years and I haven’t missed it a single minute - you should try it sometime



Agreed. Twitter is now awful, and I'm not even being biassed. I checked it out recently via xcancel.

The promotion of blue-ticks above everything has completely ruined it as the blue-tick has no correlation to quality - often the inverse.


They were talking to someone else so not sure what the point of this reply is?

If you don't want to use the site there's no problem with that, just don't use it. But this is in direct response to a claim "this site [with a brand new user account with no history] is unusable" which - if your goal is to use the site - is easily fixed.

If your goal is just to go "well I don't even use the site and you should try it and be as Good a person as I am" then it doesn't really matter either way.


I was responding to the claim that it’s sensible to go and tweak the algorithm to make the site usable - it think that’s a waste of life time and humanity as a whole would benefit if people don’t waste their very limited time on this stuff - idc what anyone here thinks of me, I just don’t want to lose more of my fellow humans to the mindless algorithms
