Hey Twitter, instead of a mute button, how about an adjustable volume knob?pic.twitter.com/Wt2i7sv96u
This is one of my bigger frustrations with this site — high-volume tweeters who drown out low-volume tweeters. I genuinely enjoy following these people. They just talk too much. So I end up muting a lot of them. But I wish I didn't have to.
My only problem is I do _not_ want an AI that works for Twitter Inc to be the one deciding which are the "top tweets". I either want random sample or an AI that works for me (which implies I pay for it).
Yeah, I also resent these algorithms. But I'm curious, what would be your frustration with following someone's "Twitter Top Tweets™"?
You mean, allowing an AI owned by Twitter Inc to determine which ideas I hear?
Haha, alright, gotta respect the purify of your position here. Guess I'm just a little more willing to trade away this kind of control. (But only a little. My main info source is Twitter's raw/chronological timeline....)
Random sample to do this seems fine? If there's a super popular post that I would want to see, it would probably be "liked" by mutuals and bubble up that way
Sounds like you enjoy the algorithmic 'likes' in your TL, but if perchance you want to disable them, you can mute the keyword "suggest_activity_tweet"
This is great! I won't use it for now, but I searched and found other "secret keywords" like this that I'm using. So new to Twitter, so much to discover
Such a good extension of the existing metaphor. Given the ebb and flow in how noisy folks are, I’d love a feed-level setting that auto-adjusted volume based on “noisiness”, so I didn’t have to constantly adjust knobs.
Yeah that would be awesome. "Don't show me more than N tweets per day by the same person."
I think disabling someone's retweets from showing on your timeline would be nice feature as well.
If only we had a third party app ecosystem that could experiment with ideas like this in parallel to Twitter...
Imagine doing like a Free State Project but with twitter, signing up everyone to switch at the same time. (To where?)
This is a great UI idea, except I find a lot of good tweets get low engagement. I'd rather see only seldom-liked tweets than only tweets with many likes.
Brilliant idea.
This would be great, I have a few people who I like muted because they tweet 100+ times a day but I would still like to see their best stuff.
Also: "All tweets except those about sports". *Cough* @jaketapper *cough*
Facebook had the "see less of" dial for a while, but now only has the full mute "Unfollow" option. https://Twitter.com 's curated "timeline" is sort of semi-muted, and counter to most people I kind of like it, as an addition to my TweetDeck lists.
