#TwitterAlgorithm

I am struggling with all of these comments from tech professionals breathlessly commenting on the #twitterAlgorithm like it contains some dark secret or big scandal.

LIke… yes they have a list of republicans that they do A/B testng with. Given the "being hauled before congress" is that at all remotely surprising?

Of course the count of likes matter. That's been suspected for _years_ and is a bog standard feature.

Of _course_ they assign you into clusters, they are optimizing engagement.

Amplifying status inequality: If your following to follower ratio does not make the cut, #Twitter will algotihmicly downgrade your visibility. #TwitterAlgorithm #RecommenderAlgorithm

RT @sterlingcrispin: Quick analysis and insights of The Algorithm provided by @TwitterEng

UserMass .scala
- if you follow over 500, and your following to follower ratio is above .6 , you'll get punished and seen less. So if you follow 800 people and have 1000 followers, unfollow 200 people

Ich finde das Twitter-Algorithmus Ding ja grade echt spannend.
Aber mag mich mal jemand kurz aufklären, ich hab da nicht mitbekommen, wie es überhaupt dazu kam?
Also, war das ein Leak? Oder beabsichtigt?
Und was heisst das für die Zukunft?
Ich hab hier Postings gesehen, die Github zeigen mit der bisher aktuellen Fork-Anzahl die wohl jetzt schon bei 6k ist?
Auf jeden Fall macht es klar, dass es keinen Sinn macht, über die eigene Bubble hinaus auf Twitter Reichweite zu bekommen. Geschweige denn darüber sinnvolle Interaktionen zu haben. 🤔

If you care about open source and a healthy development environment, you'll ignore the Twitter repository on GitHub and refuse to do free work for a billionaire. #twitter #twitteralgorithm #simpingforbillionaires

9. Making up words or misspelling hurts

Words that are identified as “unknown language” are given 0.01, which is a huge penalty.

Anything under 1 is bad.

This is really bad. https://t.co/Bnb9ucpP2r

Very helpful analysis of the #TwitterAlgorithm ⬇️

Yeah, but no, but yeah.

This was pushed to main branch with no oversight? Who's managing the processing at #twitter?

Doh, sorry, forget I asked that.

#twitteralgorithm

Twitters PRs on their "the-algorythm" repo are gold, its like a 4chan thread. Been watching them for like half an hour now
#twittercode #twitter #twitteralgorithm

alright i gotta stop what i'm doing and read the danged #TwitterAlgorithm

The various models in the algo lack the data... so I guess you'd need to go grab some data from mastodon to train the models #twitteralgorithm

(the .txt files with the offensive words is misssing :(

Naming the repo, “The Algorithm” is weird on its own. Releasing it as AGPL is highly suspicious. Randomly deleting features like IsDemocrat and IsRepublican on a whim really completes the picture that this is a sham to make it seem like melon is doing good things #TwitterAlgorithm

Nothing says "transparency" like deleting code and doing a force push.

Evergreen.

Twitter published source code for its "algorithm". And immediately people began finding very important issues

@mmasnick The internet is undefeated

Actual Github issue on the #TwitterAlgorithm repository: "Replace 'author_elon' with 'nothing'"

This makes me feel better about most of my #git commit messages in my personal code that no one ever sees

Dear #TwitterAlgorithm: when I click on a profile to mute and block them, this does NOT mean that I want you to fill up my feed with all their deplorable friends.
