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.

As an example of something that I think isn't great (open to more suggestions): for people who prefer using Latest, we need to make it easier for this option to stay a default across clients/devices and sessions. We're working on that.

Replying to @kayvz
There is a small number of us so-called "power-users" who use Twitter is specific ways. We aren't many but we produce a lot of content. Twitter is a top-heavy place--most people read. But you keep making it hard for us to stay on the platform and last update is terrible.

We use lists. (Your update broke my lists). We don't like random tweets inserted to our TL. (Who does?!?!) Tons of bugs remain unfixed. For example: the DM notifications are broken. Quote tweets can't be added to threads. We need more control over "quotability" of tweets. etc.

I.. don't think most of your designers and top people are heavy users of Twitter, tbh. I have seen this. People in the company tweet, grudgingly, once hired. Stop as soon as they leave. Also, making desktop look like mobile?
Standardizing codebase is fine. Desktop is desktop.2 replies 2 retweets 6 likes -
Wanted to add to what
@kayvz said. We hear you loud and clear and really sorry about the frustration. I wanted to add some context on your first tweet. We show replies to people outside of who you follow because people find it a super useful way to discover new people and convos.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -
Seeing who the people you follow are talking to is something we find people find very useful to find other folks with common interests.

Ironically - I’m someone who has been super active here for about a decade and I remember when this (showing all tweets regardless of who it was in reply to) was actually the default behavior for the first several years of Twitter.

It wasn’t the same Twitter then. Also we had more control through third party apps.

And “people find it super useful”... Well, if you really believe that make it explicit opt-in only. Problem solved.
