coprolite Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 I had to get the twitter to get updates on my daughter’s expected arrival time returning from a school trip. I got loads of notifications from c***s I have no interest in and found the controls baffling. Deleted. Its success is a total mystery to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only have it to follow the Livi matches I can't get to but all throughout the day my phone is buzzing with random notifications from Crystal Palace signings and government cabinet reshuffles to photos of vin diesel on a night out and "news" regarding one of the kardashians' latest face surgery 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zetterlund Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 The algorithms which decide what you see on twitter seem to be set to random, and something definitely changed recently as sometimes now I can be looking at a tweet which suddenly disappears and is replaced by something else. It can be useful for following specific things or people, but the experience is ruined by all the 'suggested topics' and viral tweets completely unrelated to any of your interests which pollute your feed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got loads of notifications from c***s I have no interest in and found the controls baffling. Deleted. Its success is a total mystery to me. I just joined FB and Twitter recently because they were making it more difficult for non members to see stuff, like twitter replies, and a few businesses I wanted info from only had FB, no website. I never look at my home pages so I've no clue what's there, but I must have had thousands of emails from FB informing me of people I've never heard of wanting to be my friend, no idea what that's about, I don't even have a profile pic.

Highland Capital Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 (edited) Apparently some people use Twitter by using the algorithm home page as opposed to the Latest version home page. Nuts!

Nuts! Whilst they continue to try and force their latest shite one you, "Stories" and "Circles" and whatnot, it's really quite easy to change it to get rid of all their trending topics and all that pish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to Twitter's settings > notifications > push notifications and turn them off (all or limit it to certain types). 56 minutes ago, Zetterlund said: The algorithms which decide what you see on twitter seem to be set to random, and something definitely changed recently as sometimes now I can be looking at a tweet which suddenly disappears and is replaced by something else.

You need to go to the Twitter homepage, and in the top right click the in the top right to switch to "Latest tweets" so that all the tweets show in chronological order (like it used to a few years ago). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nkomo-A-Gogo Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 I find it difficult to work out the order in which things have been said by people. What I get from this forum is enough twitter for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 The now rarely spotted lib baby ancedote seen in the wild. I mind this guy was getting cited as some sort of Brexit expert despite the fact you wouldn't fancy his chances of being able to order a round in Spoons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
