Does the twitter api give us enough control to write our own feed algorithm? And is Latest Tweets really latest tweets or just a slightly more reverse chronological Top Tweets?

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)
