i'd say because: the network effect is still strong.
it feels like a huge chunk of (recent/real-time) tech/design discussion happens there. but could be just me. i'm still warming up on bluesky/threads.
i like the for you page since i can discover fresh/new work from others. otherwise how would i get to the point of following someone? (excluding when you find the person's account on an external site)
but i feel you, the following tab is definitely a healthier/more controllable space
super cool! i like yours better tbh as it looks much more granular in terms of categorizing
re publishing—just do it!
this project is also a rough mess, only a quick experiment, so i doubt anybody will care if it fails sometimes / not perfect, code is a mess etc.
yeah some kind of real-time tweaking would be also nice. sometimes i'm in the mood for topics i'm usually not following, but i would go back to my "default" space after a while.
the problem imo is that there is absolutely zero control on most platforms.
on x there is a button called "i'm not interested in this tweet" but obviously it doesn't do anything meaningful
i agree. but sometimes my lizard brain just can't resist the temptation and i will stop to read the tweet/start a video. and the algorithm already could think that i'm interested in this type of content
