I was using twitter to follow very few, high quality feeds, and with this new update it was made clear that the intended usage is the opposite. No more twitter for me, I'm back to good old RSS feeds.
Beside that, I can't believe anyone would find the new design better than the old one on a monitor, the menu has more presence than the actual tweets.
- yboris 7y agoThe Twitter redesign (last week or so?) has been wonderful for me: it keeps your place in navigation, allowing you to look at a tweet thread and go back to the place you were before. Previously on Twitter, after any navigation you'd lose your place, having to scroll (and reload all the previously-seen content) very far if you were down far.
- mikro2nd 7y agoOn the other hand, every time I have been back since the changeover, they reset my feed to 'algorithmically chosen tweets' (or whatever they call it) instead of the "by time posted" option I invariably want and choose. It's gotten so I'm pretty unlikely to go back to Twitter now, since along with this major annoyance, it's ugly, cluttered to the point of near unusable, and all-round annoying to me. So long and thanks for all the tweety birds, I guess.
- yxhuvud 7y agoThe same issue exist in the Facebook feed, by the way. I really wonder why they won't allow people to be able to set it permanently.
- rightbyte 7y agoBecause they want to control what people see in their feeds to prolong eyeball seconds, which you get by hiding what you find interesting in piles of poo.
