Good to know. I stopped contributing to their metrics because I am sick and tired of seeing EM everywhere.

Unions are not allowed at Twitter. Who knows what is cooking there.

You could block his account or the keywords 'Elon' and 'Musk'. That's the idea anyway, to provide moderation tools to the end user. You should check back when that idea is put into practice more comprehensively by Twitter engineers.

I don't know what's cooking there either. The point is the end-user experience has been nothing like what these Nostradamuses have been predicting.
There is no cost for making wild predictions that turn out wrong. In real life if a friend did that you'd begin discounting his talk. On social media that doesn't seem to happen, because there's a sucker born every minute, and crowds like to indulge in mood affiliation and emotional venting rather than rational analysis.

#20I follow Dan Luu and he often writes very well, but my perspective as a user is that search is rubbish. I know they're solving a complex problem and indexing is x seconds but I genuinely just use Google with Twitter added as a keyword.
For my own tweets and those of my closest friends, I have them all posted to a group Slack we have and I just use Slack search. It's absurd but instantaneous results.
Ultimately, I'm sure they did lots of kernel hacking and ingestion and ETL stuff but Slack search of Twitter mirror is better than Twitter search for my follow list.
