I mention these because I think Twitter has anchored us in a false dichotomy: reverse chronological or high engagement rage posts. Those aren't the only two choices. There's an infinite number of smaller choices that could possibly (need experimentation) make my feed better.

so my largest request would be that there be an experimental platform for experimenting with feed sorting algos. And have that logic able to be exported by a user and shared. Could drive interesting innovation

@Cmastication

Do you have a sense of what it would take to build critical mass around this? I’d really like a similar thing and have been exploring options on how to get started.

@dhadfieldmenell I don’t know. Two things I suspect:

1. most folks will only ever use the default settings. Internet explorer taught me that.

2. The first implementations will likely be client side hacks because that’s the easiest entry point, but that will be bumpy in many ways. Needs to be server side to scale.

@Cmastication

Both of those are good points (the default one especially). I’m planning to experiment in the space I have some funds to find a couple smart students and see what they put together. There’s a limited amount that we can do, but I would love to hear thoughts and suggestions for concrete projects that seem like easy wins here.
