- Yes this article is old.
- No, Twitter hasn’t “fixed” the situation yet.
- Yes, I’m still a bit bitter.
- Moreso, I legitimately enjoy Twitter less now than I did before the “tweak”.
- Intentionally or not, I don’t think Twitter handled this well initially or was upfront about why they made the change. That’s their prerogative, just disappointing to me as a user.
It’s also odd that Twitter would release this feature, which makes it easier for people to communicate in self-contained groups, when it seems like the company is moving in the opposite direction towards a broadcast model, where the emphasis is on tweeting at large groups of people that you don’t know.
