Either way it feels like Twitter has an incentive to close this "loophole" because they would believe it would decrease engagement, which would impact their bottom line.
Question is, how did people find out this specific set of mute keywords work? Was it a leak or did people really just figure them out through trial and error? Either way it feels like Twitter has an incentive to close this "loophole" because they would believe it would decrease engagement, which would impact their bottom line.
- create a private list - instead of following people, add people to the list Bam. No ads, no suggestions, no "x liked this", reverse chronological order with no missing posts.
Every time Twitter comes up on HN people complain about missing reverse chronological order and hating on the liked by tweets feature. The old classic mode is one click away. Or am I in a weird long running A/B testing group still having access to this feature? I know the default mode is not what most people here like but is it really that hard to switch the display mode?
As someone launches twitter 20 times a day I don't wanna click around every day for no reason.
I would love to see this list updated with example screenshots of what each one actually mutes. Either way, I had no idea Twitter muting worked like this, where you could actually mute TYPES of tweets, and not just content IN the tweets. I don't think they go over this in their docs: https://help.twitter.com/en/using-twitter/advanced-twitter-m... - I wonder if they will block this or break this if it picks up steam s…
Yeah it looks like something that accidentally works because of their implementation rather than something they actually want to be possible.

Nah, it means "people being mean and awful, by a reasonable person's standards." Obviously this is somewhat subjective, but abstracting it into "things I don't approve of" misses the point.
So why is it almost every-time I here it mentioned in regards to this topic it is by those who act pious and pompous as a way of shutting down legitimate criticism?
And I agree it gets way overused by many. And maybe toxicity is a stretch for reddit front page but I think you still know what I’m talking about: the shallow, mindless/hivemind garbage. It brings down everything and everyone else to primal attitudes and people go straight for the shock value in order to get internet points.

Lists are a pain to access IMHO on purpose although they've improved it slightly. Open App Press on avatar Press Lists Press desired list. vs. Open app Now on desktop, using bookmarks, or a client like TweetDeck this is a valid solution.
Sadly the entire update still feels half-baked and not thought-through and given that it's been months I don't feel too optimistic. There's so many small things that worked fine before and are just missing completely or broken now. It's a shame because I've been using Twitter for a decade but it's hardly useable now.

I don't think the emergency radio analogy makes much sense since Twitter's value is more than just reading tweets. It can be used for initiating and participating in discussions.
cb radio.
Found this yesterday here. Had some great conversations!
