Most complaints about Twitter look quite lazy once you understand you choose your followers, can block accounts, and mute words. It's not like these are hidden features that are hard to use even.
Except for the fact that this doesn't work. This platform always trying to nudge you to engage in any way possible. These "not hidden features" are not working properly, it always spawn back after some time.
Never had any significant issues with these features, I tend to suspect a skill issue when people say things like this. Muting is the most effective option, but it does require you use it with some careful thought.
That's why I call it trash. It's a mine field, you can probably learn to walk in a minefield too when you are extra careful while only occasionally stepping on one but it is still designed to cause you harm. Not really something I would call useful, it can probably be engaging for some but that's it.
Well, by contrast HN doesn't allow user blocking or muting, or keyword muting, nor do most other social media sites. So I tend to see Twitter as offering the user far more curation and control than most, even if it is imperfect.
