      A few thoughts on @maggieNYT’s article on Twitter. A lot of fair critiques within.https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/20/sunday-review/maggie-haberman-twitter-donald-trump.html …

      “But the medium has changed. Everyone I follow on the site seems to be tweeting more frequently, so I had to check in more frequently.” This is the intention behind ranking the timeline. Show you “what matters” first, everything else still accessible. Lots of work still to do.

          “On Twitter, everything is shrunk down to the same size, making it harder to discern what is a big deal and what is not. Tone often overshadows the actual news. All outrages appear equal.” Def a problem. Believe we can help solve by showing more context and related conversation.

          This is our primary job: “To be clear, Twitter is a useful and important platform. It’s a good aggregator for breaking news. I still check my feed to see breaking news developments, and I will continue to.” Thinking a lot about how to promote more participation in conversation.

          Powerful, but only if we help organize and not overwhelm people: ”And it is democratic—everyone gets to have a voice, whether they work for a local paper, a small TV station or one of the biggest newspapers in the world, or are not in the media business at all.”

          ”The downside is that everyone is treated as equally expert on various topics.” One of the biggest areas I believe we can help. Helping to determine credible voices per topic in real-time is extremely challenging, but believe it’s possible. Mix of algos and network.

          “There is an important discussion about journalism that must take place, including about how all of us performed during the 2016 campaign, but Twitter is not where a nuanced or thoughtful discussion can happen.” This is what we’d like to fix the most.

          Fundamentally, we need to focus more on the conversational dynamics within Twitter. We haven’t paid enough consistent attention here. Better organization, more context, helping to identify credibility, ease of use. Challenging work and would love to hear your thoughts and ideas.

          People want to experience @Twitter objectively. Not based on what you, a computer or a curator deems valuable. The only way to do this is to empower users with controls to customize their feed with the default being a chronological feed from those they follow.

          Oh, and you can make verification simple as making sure they’re a real person. No need to judge quality of their voice. Those wishing to be anonymous or pseudonymous don’t get a check. Obvious “non-people” or bots are booted.

          I've decided what matters by choosing who I follow. I'll give what they say & RT whatever importance I think it should have rather than the platform deciding for me & jumbling up my TL based on what the algo thinks I care about. Chronological order, from newest to oldest. Please.

          Just no. Leave the bloody chronological timeline alone. It's destroyed, in my opinion, Facebook & Instagram: seeing nothing in order, missing things entirely, having things pop up days later. Leave. It. Alone.

          No. Just give me tweets in chronological order. I stopped using Facebook because it thinks it knows what I should see and what I shouldn't. Don't do this with Twitter.

          IT'S NOT WORKING. Please just go back to simple chronological order. That's all we need, that was the magic of Twitter, specially during live events. Here in earthquake City, there are days when being able to see tweets from only the last minute is crucial.

          "ranking the timeline" is why I don't use the standard twitter interface (side effect you should care about: I never see promoted tweets.) I want to actually see my friend's tweets even if they don't have a ton of followers, and news in chronological order.

          Don't change the timeline to "improve" the experience for people who are light users, at the expense of people who are avid users.

          On Tweetdeck I never have a problem. On my phone it's more annoying with all the "so and so liked this" and retweets, though turning off the "show best tweets first" setting helped.

          I hate this. Seems like every day I see things tweeted by people I follow not appearing in my TL. Only reason I see is if someone retweets. Show them in chronological order, don't assume you know what matters to me.

          But a large number of us want a purely chronological timeline, without you messing with it. Can't you at least provide that option?
