Self weighed in on this type of issue just today. Apparently, the algorithm that it already used would send you more of things that you look at and read. If you sign up to follow people that you would like, and you tend to read them then you’ll start receiving mainly things from them. if you read people very much, and then block them, you’ll probably end up being fed some things from them.

I think the best strategy is to begin following a lot of people that you can tell that you agree with first, so that you start getting a good flow of things. Then, diving into the bad guys a little bit won’t ruin things for you.

As you know, the bad guys are so stupid that it scares helps to read them much. We get exposed to enough of the bad guys here on free republic just fine. However, I get a lot of news from good guys on x.com that I don’t necessarily see here.

Mask seems to be aware of the issue, and I think he has people working on better algorithms.

Sorry for the typos, I’m using my phone tonight, which I normally don’t do.

It was Elon Musk who weighed in on the issue today. He was somewhat apologetic and indicated that it was an existing algorithms issue, and that they were working on it. He’s on there quite a bit, as she probably noticed, which I think is very interesting, you almost never get, the billionaire owner of one of these sites messaging as much as he does.

It’s even more interesting for people who are interested in SpaceX, because he talks about that a lot too.
