Twitter needs to give users more control over their experience, says John Defterios. He wants a system that modulates who you're muting and blocking on the social networking site. The way people do it now is with block lists which he thinks have 'bad properties' Says there should be some sort of built-in decay for blocks so they can heal after use.
In this episode of Infinite Loops we speak with Johnny Nelson, @generativist, on the state of Social Media and the Internet. We discuss about:
- Managing your attention
- Algorithms: Good or bad?
- Censorship on social media
- What will make people adopt a new social platform?
- Is history an accurate predictor of the future?
- And a LOT more!
