Technology Connections

@andOlga@girlcock.club Okay, so I don't have any deep understanding of the technicalities, but Twitter did some sort of sentiment analysis on posts.

If they were above a certain threshold, A) they wouldn't show up in notifications and B) they'd be hidden under a banner of "show replies which might contain offensive content"

Both of those things were very important. The accuracy of the filter wasn't perfect, but way more often than not what was hidden I didn't want to see.

Additionally,

@andOlga@girlcock.club the mere fact that the filter gave me the CHOICE to see what it thought might be crossing the line was a huge part of it.

I'd usually click through - but I knew what I was about to see and it never really bothered me.

Here? I have to see everything unless I want to ignore notifications entirely (and don't get me started on how annoying notifications are when you got 100+ replies overnight...)

That's not healthy, and my only recourse currently is to be extremely careful here.
