Twitter Open Sourced their Code 👀
Twitter recently made public their recommendation algorithm on March 31st. Here are some snippets of code that popped out:
"Yo I'm looking through the Twitter open source code and wtf is this?!?!" — mewtru •ᴗ• (@trunarla) March 31, 2023
Twitter’s algorithm specifically labels whether the Tweet author is Elon Musk “author_is_elon” besides the Democrat, Republican and “Power User” labels — Jane Manchun Wong (@wongmjane) March 31, 2023
"I wonder what my Twitter toxicity score would be 😂" — mewtru •ᴗ• (@trunarla) March 31, 2023
Part of Twitter’s algorithm specifically designates Jack Dorsey, Katy Perry, Stephen Curry and Barack Obama as “testing accounts” for getting random Tweets for testing, with an emphasis on Katy Perry in particular — Jane Manchun Wong (@wongmjane) March 31, 2023
Some of these have been removed since but we will always have the receipts that they existed at one point or another
Last thing...
Just today (April 3) Twitter updated it's website logo. This is either a really late April Fools joke or a way to market Dogecoin ( ͡⚆ ͜ʖ ͡⚆)

Why I hate social medias algorithms, and why they're bad for mental health (in my opinion)
My contribution to Twitter's firedump.
Tumblr doesn't really count, 'cause it can push popular fandoms, memes and whatnot. The big problem comes with the algorithm looking at trauma that the viewer finds relatable and going, "you know what? You liked this joke/revenge post/ about no one believing in this person's abilities, let me show you more".
It's even worse if the viewer is someone without an active social life; 'cause then they start being flooded with posts and remarks that a creator made to vent ( to put a bad feeling into something you can share, THEN go on with your life with its ups and downs), and it starts feeling like the only reality.
A couple of examples:
You'd like to get a degree in STEM (doesn't matter which kind), and you find a joke about a PhD lab not having any money. It's true, what a relatable scenario, lol, yada yada yada. Then you start getting info about all kinds of bad experiences, low income, sexism, or racism. And DON'T GET ME WRONG, it's there, but there's also a better, nicer side that you rarely get to see online, or that sticks with you less than the bad experience.
If you have an eating disorder, chances are you'll use social medias to look for ways to care about your mental health, to look for stories similar to your own. And of course you're going to find food schedules, or fitness plans; so the algorithm will start giving you more, and even if they make you uncomfortable you're gonna look at them 'cause breaking a vicious cycle of comparing to others is hard.
As a woman in the workplace, you're gonna like and relate to other women's stories of injustice (rightfully so), untill you'll be having the constant buzz in your brain that someone will undermine you from the very beginning.
It counts for every minority, for every little thing that can upset you.
Worst part THERE IS NEVER A SOLUTION. The algorithm will show you RIGHTEOUS complaints, one after the other, and NEVER show you the other side.
In my country public research scientists get paid a misery? Show me the private lab job that can make me do what I love and pay me well.
I feel like the gender gap of pay is too big, is there anywhere else I could apply for a job?
How can I be assertive in the workplace? Where can I get help if the situation starts to spiral down?
The algorithm (especially to young adults and late teens) has this huge power to put you down, to give you false expectations because we tend to see the worst side of things as the "crude reality".
And every time you. Will. Look. At. It.
Doesn't matter how discouraged you are. The algorithm doesn't realize when it's pushing onto you something toxic. And between a meme and a video of an Indian guy building a pool, you'll find the short, the image, or the text that WILL be relatable to you, WILL make you doubt your choices and WILL give you a distorted view of reality.
Take it from me. When I started uni after covid I was convinced I wouldn't make it for this and that; that I'd never get a chance at a decent job, that I'd be criticized for god knows what trivial idiosyncrasy.
Spoiler alert: it didn't happen. It wasn't a walk in the park, but it didn't get even close to the total obliteration that social medias had prepared me to.

I'm new here, fleeing from Twitter, and it's been great so far, except that you can't block ads here??? One of my favorite things about Twitter was blocking all the corporate ads so I would get all the strange hyperspecific sponsored tweets instead and the fact that Tumblr forces me to see a Zaxby's ad instead of
or
on my timeline is rly quite tragic

Why do I even have a Twitter at this point? I just feel like I'm talking to no one/myself anymore
I'm starting to think no one would even notice if I left

Outside of Musk buying Twitter, I left because of the horrid algorithm.
I’ve had my Twitter account since 2016, and during a six year period I’ve only manged to get 149 followers. And most of my posts failed to get that much engagement.
The most likes I’ve manged to get from a single post were 154.
To see how shitty the algorithm truly was, I created a NSFW account in February of this year and that account has 372 followers as of this writing.
So yeah, the Twitter algorithm is fucking trash. And trying to promote your work on there has become damn near impossible.

I'm getting sick and tired of twtt/instagram algorithms. i usually don't pay that much of an attention to it, but when it comes to my art accounts it's really pissing me off. it barely shows me the ppl i follow and it keeps recommending me stuff in 80% of my feed (when insta for example HAS A FUCKING DISCOVERY PAGE SO......) without showing me the ones i wanna see the most (since I FOLLOW THEM?!?!?!!!!!!)
like dude..... JUST BE BETTER. DO BETTER. DELIVER ME THE POSTS OF THE PPL I'M FOLLOWING THIS IS THE BASIC SHIT YOU HAVE TO DO????????
#algorithm#fuck the algorithm#twitter stuff#instagram stuff#twitter#instagram#twitter algorithm#instagram algorithm#at this point I'm crossing my fingers looking forward to bluesky release bc GODDAMN

“Ao3 needs an algorithm” no it doesn’t, part of the ao3 experience is scrolling through pages of cursed content looking for the one fic you want to read until you get distracted by a summary so cursed that it completely derails your entire search
#i saw something on Twitter the other day about how some people actually want ao3 to have an algorithm#like my dude the fact that it doesn’t is the POINT#leave me and my cursed fics alone#I’m happier this way#this is a joke btw
