Idk if twitter is smart enough to identify polarizing tweets and put dissenting replies at the top, or if batshit takes just get dunked on consistently regardless of political leaning

my batshit theory (maybe not that batshit?): they can identify them, they do put the most combative and negative replies at the top, and they do insert the most dumpster fire threads into as many timelines as they can the business model is addictive outrage

Yeah I don't think that's batshit at all, that definitely is the business model. Just deepens the information bubbles/reality filters/ideological silo-ing that everyone talks about nowadays bc one gets the impression that any crazy take is met with the dissent they want to see

I'm not even sure the word dissent is the right one here. I might go with caterwauling.

Yeah I may accidentally be implying more civility and reason than is there. Derision, mockery, counter-punch, haranguing, etc

most people have WAY WAY WAY too many follows on this website. you're scraping the ceiling of tolerable in the 400s. Once you're up above 1000 there's no hope of getting out with your sanity intact.

Yeah I keep a list of my favorite accts and mutuals which is what I usually browse, it's sitting at ~250 members right now. Plus using a list keeps the timeline chronological which I generally prefer. Non-chronological is only useful when the follow list gets too large
