    @sarajw also consider what this means for accountability and agency.

    You always know *exactly* why a thing got into your timeline: either you are following the author, or someone you follow boosted it, or you're following the hashtag.

    Very easy to attribute stuff you might not like. And act upon that attribution.

    @rysiek yep!

    On twitter I used to laboriously go through and delete all the topics it had decided I was into, to try and kill off the suggestions. Would work for a while and then just start repopulating the list.

    @rysiek @sarajw Unfortunately, due to the missing ranking/scoring sorting features, one can still end-up with an unsatisfying result.

    Some users also can post both decent and utterly uninteresting things, which requires granularity that isn't covered by boosting/muting/blocking/etc.

    @lispi314 @rysiek in my real life I am also often bored and come across people saying uninteresting things. In that sense I'm not so bothered by it happening on here too 😅
