    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™"?

        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?)
