Oliver Gould@buzz did you see truebe & goldman's thread on this last week? predicted exactly
@ver Ha, had to look it up, but yet. The decision making in that company bewilders me. And I, like, have worked with Jack before. It still bewilders me.
Ed Ceaser@buzz @ver i think there’s this underlying thread where they believe that the platform has authenticity because they don’t moderate speech. “protect the users voice” or whatever. so they’ll never naturally make a decision against that.
what they don’t get is that they’ve turned twitter into a desiccated husk imo
mainly due to the reward loop of the algorithmic timeline. but they are blind to that, so they hang on to this idea of “user freedom” as what’s keeping twitter animated
