      Aargh now Twitter showing me replies to people I don't follow. I can't easily find the way to turn that off. Sigh the business model of all these platforms: they will do more engagement engineering all the way to more crises.

      Hi 👋🏼 I think you’re referring to when we show a conversation in your timeline that has a reply from somebody you follow to a tweet from somebody you don’t follow? If so, we do this to help people discover new/relevant conversations for them that they’d otherwise miss ...

      ... If we get it wrong or if these aren’t useful, u can tap the “Show less often” under the carat and u should stop seeing them. I do agree we need to make it easier/clearer to control this. Also, the other replies are correct in that if you’re in “Latest” u would never see these

      It’s gravely disrespectful to show me stuff I never asked to see. Maybe you’re going to get some of the engagement statistics up for a time, but your new redesign is terrible. You’re on your way to combining worst of Facebook’s problems with Twitter’s existing problems.

      A bunch of us stuck to Twitter despite everything. Yes, we are a minority of your users but I bet a good deal of the people who produce the content that makes it different. I rarely log onto Facebook anymore. Twitter is likely next. A crappy version of FB won’t get you anywhere.

          We're not trying to create a crappy or non-crappy version of Facebook. We're just trying to surface the most relavent conversations at the right time to our customers based on their interests. And for people who would rather us not do any work for them, we introduced "Latest".

          Clearly something about our approach is not satisfying and creating frustration. I'm sincerely eager to understand so that we can make the service better for you.
