Tried the new “follow topics” feature but it seems a depressing backward step towards yahoo directory. What I’d like to really do is tune by tweet type rather than either topic or person. More shitposting, fewer representing, sermonizing posts etc.

My dream algorithm 1. Auto-cluster tweets per user (shitposting, representing, thought leadering, shilling, sharing, thinking aloud) and auto follow/unfollow dynamically based on that. 2. Live filter resulting first-pass output by mood (restless, serious, beefy)

Sadly a person’s timeline is all-too-honest a measure of how they value their time. Which is often a grating reminder of dissonance between how important they are to themselves versus to me. Relative self-importance is probably my biggest unfollow/disengage signal.

I think I like feeds best when their self-importance matches perceived-importance by me. Twitter is probably a bunch of graph islands of mutually consistent importance assess,rents (ie people’s assessments of each other’s and their own importance is consistent)

It probably has the features necessary, but I'm pretty sure you'd run afoul of their ToS for "substantially similar functionality" if you offered it to others

Twitter has taken away the tools to make this elegant. But if your needs are limited or you're willing to do the heavy lifting, you can probably pull it off. I'm mostly using my own client to render my timeline and lists, and on the second rewrite it's good enough

The API gives you enough control. I use it to get a chronological (not reverse chronological) feed, nntp style.
