Re:Twitter makes it harder to choose the old reverse-chronol... by joegahona on Friday March 11, 2022 @12:44PM (#30643269)
My fear is dutifully curating lists for this purpose -- which would take ages -- only for them to monkey with this feature. I see a lot of people on Twitter who say something like "if you put me in a list, I will block you," which makes me think there's some sort of list-spamming capability currently. (I can't figure out any other reason people wouldn't want to be added to lists...?)

I use the reverse-chron feed almost exclusively. Product Management Twitter has devolved into people with 1-2 years of product experience vomiting out threads of "What I've learned" that have zero insight, and because I follow a lot of legit product people, Twitter thinks I want this other stuff. I hate it.

Lists can be public or private. If they're public, the account being added gets notified. If they're private, there's no notification, and nobody else can see the list or its contents anyway.

"if you put me in a list, I will block you" is almost certainly about public lists, either because the notifs are noisy or because the list may not be a flattering one.
