Venkatesh Rao@vgr·Jul 21, 2018If you had the right set of test feeds, could you reverse engineer twitter’s feed algorithm?716
Boris Mann@bmann·Jul 21, 2018Replying to @vgrif you use the right client, the algorithm doesn’t control you.12
Boris Mann@bmann·Jul 21, 2018Replying to @vgrTweetbot. Including a long regex mute list. Would (need to) drop Twitter if it was not available.11
𒃲𒌋𒅗𒆪𒁉@ultimape·Jul 21, 2018Replying to @bmann and @vgrThe algorithm still controls you because others who don't have tweetbot are still subject to the manipulation.11
Venkatesh Rao@vgrReplying to @ultimape and @bmannYeah good point. These days I often don’t see replies from certain people because Twitter nurses them and doesn’t show in main feed. They probably think I’m rude in not responding sometimes.9:39 PM · Jul 21, 20181 Like
