Elon is addressing this in the Twitter Space right now. "It definitely shouldn't be dividing people into Republican and Democrats; that makes no sense[...] you've identified something we should be getting rid of right away."
It's for content analytics, and I assume it's to make sure that changes to the platform can't be argued to bias one party over another.

Still smells to high heaven to me. Not the Elon part, I don't really care about that. But collecting metrics about "republican" vs "democrat" sounds like a particularly bad set of priorities at work.
About 40% of US voters are not registered with any political party, so at least they will avoid whatever this triggers.

> Twitter use to rank posts higher for those who had more followers/less people they follow
> They are removing that as of today but kinda interesting that someone with 10k/10k followers would get less reach than if they had 10k followers and only followed 6kIt's reassuring to know that billion dollar tech companies write CI exactly like I do: https://github.com/twitter/the-algorithm/blob/main/ci/ci.sh Permalink: https://github.com/twitter/the-algorithm/blob/7f90d0ca342b92...

Perhaps if you did follow so many people they got drowned out, but with substantially fewer following, those recommended tweets were a big part of what I saw. Especially in the last year or so before Musk took over: Twitter went a lot more aggressive and didn't just show tweets which people you follow "liked", but also other tweets, which the algorithm somehow determined you might like, which was often wrong, and, mo…
Yep, having had created a few throwaway accounts I definitely got a sense of how the algorithm compensated for the majority of users who aren't super active. And it makes sense -- most new users aren't going to want to spend account creation picking 50 accounts to follow. But if someone has hit the follow button 1,000+ times, it's reasonable to have some faith that they've seen a lot of tweets and know what they want…
Why are there two spaces instead of four in this Python code, it hurts my soul
Cost saving measure. This sort of emotionalism is why engineers need to kept out of the C-suite.
I also fail to see how someone who is annoyed by code that doesn't follow well established standards is somehow not a good fit in the C-suite.
