twitter is really bad recently isn't it

This is just a really quick post to whine about twitter crashing and burning which perhaps isn't the Best use of this platform but it's been weighing on me. My feed is so much more depressing and discoursey since they rolled out For You/Following. The dark patterns even down to the level of making it hard to swap to the functional feed and access other options if you're using your phone one handed, with your right hand. or the complete nonfunctionality of the desktop versions account switching.

Even on the Following page, now the takes seem vastly more negative because people are dropped into the new For You page by default! It's exhausting! I have no idea if they changed the algorithms for this, or if they're just the same algorithms but now I have to see them and it's really easy to forget to change to Following because it's now the default, and you're locked into starting there. no thank you. it is so manipulative and gross and it should come as no surprise.

also I'm 100% seeing more side accounts of people whose mains I've blocked which. lol. I think this is just a coincidence, but it's unfortunate! :')
