It looks like I’m moving to Mastodon

I constantly switch Twitter back to chronological and immediately notice when it pushes me onto the algo timeline.

Another recent change they made (I think just before Elon took over) was making Notifications algorithmic. As a somewhat low-notification user, it's essentially ruined notifications for me - most of the ones I get are nonsense now instead of signals someone has interacted with me.

I think the only site I use where algos actually add value is YouTube, after many years of sending people down weird/wrong paths their algos actually seem pretty solid now in terms of suggesting content relevant to me.

After Youtube stopped displaying the number of downvotes for a video, algos is the only thing left that you can rely upon to understand if the video is good. But I'd prefer being able to rely on downvotes number.

I haven’t been pushed to algorithmic timeline in months. I think they are just sticky user choices now.
