The algo is dumb.

The greatest trick the devil ever played was convincing the world that social media needs an algorithm and censorship.
The Twitter algo is like the government, the bigger and more interventionist it gets, the worse it becomes.
Good observation. In Norway I paid 32.5% income tax while a colleague doing the same work paid 20% income tax, due to him having children + loans. The more the government attempts to even out outcomes, the more injustice and discrimination it creates.
Agreed, I was also against this dumb Twitter algorithm. Blocks are easily gamed en masse via block lists and are not a reliable heuristic for unserious behavior. As Plato observed: democratic voting can't determine truth and reality.
Personal Lists are the simplest ways of focusing high signal content in chronological order without algorithms.
