Tell HN: The issues of Twitter are not a technical problem to solve
I used to agree with you until I created a new Twitter account from scratch.I'm not American and I specifically put non-political things in my interests. Yet, the second I signed up I got the following:1. A notification about a smug reply a rando made to a Republican Congressman.2. Posts from a meme page with a Pepe the frog avatar showing homeless people fighting in San Francisco.3. Somebody I don't follow accusing another person I don't follow of being a nazi.The problem with Twitter is that it needs high engagement, so it strongly recommends posts that are low on quality but high on emotion. This gets people to post the most smug and controversial takes they can handle.I recommend everyone creating a new social media account every once in a while to see what the rest of the world see. It's as enlightening as browsing the internet with Adblock disabled.
