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?

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)

I would love to have this. Even better, algorithm auto-sorts when a user posts a new tweet, and asks them for confirmation that it was labeled properly when unsure. Labeling every tweet manually would be tedious, but the algorithm would inevitably miss nuance sometimes

If followers have to sort, you lose the signal of "Does this person KNOW they are shitposting? Or do they think they are thought-leading?"

@meetalks uses my client to sort by (user, time) so on busy days, some users get skipped, while others get full attentionThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
