@lilianedwards@someone.elses.computer I think it started when they added the “Home” mode in addition to the “Latest Tweets” mode. I never used the “Home” mode (because I found it very strange to let Twitter’s algorithm decide what I should and shouldn’t see), but apparently a lot of people used it and are still using it. It seems like many people do not even know about the “Latest Tweets” mode.

@SMarsching@social.anoxinon.de @lilianedwards@someone.elses.computer For a while it felt like Twitter was randomly resetting back to the "home" thing. I'd see NOTHING from anyone I was following and all sorts of other random junk and then realize it had gone to the algorithm-driven "Home." I think it increases "stickiness" for a lot of users because it's all hot-topic crack for the addicts.

@lilianedwards@someone.elses.computer @SMarsching@social.anoxinon.de yeah I never used the Home mode. And I was quite oblivious to this whole algorithm thing. I liked things because I liked them.
