I ran into this at local Python meetup yesterday. Made with Python and asyncssh. Fun project and also a joke as well as commentary about current state of the social media

No endless scroll of algorithmic 'content'

That's not the case. According to the docs,

itter watch [mine|all|#chan|@user] would entail infinite scrolling of content.

itter timeline [mine|all|#chan|@user] [<page>] although there is pagenate the content list is potentially infinite

Admit it! There is no search algorithm for content filtering or finding contacts or blocked users.

Whatever the object is, there is no search algorithm to traverse it intelligently.

For example, say i'm super popular but with a tendency to ghost everyone. Like a stereotypical LINE user faced with unpopular opinions or topics. So list of unfollow'ed (aka blocked) users is approaching infinity.

A truly admirable dedication to being a really horrible human being.

At the local bar, me and my mates have a drinking game where they think up random search criteria to see the kinda categories of people which have been blocked. A weak or nonexistent search algorithm would mean not likely to leave the bar on our feet.

Show me chicks with green hair that posts about both climate doom and vaccines being great for children. Living in USA, Canada, or New Zealand. That has a cat avatar and has either giant earrings or nose piercing.

That should be simple enough.

yep look at that! i ghosted five green haired freaks. Now drink!

As someone who missed out on BBS I find this genuinely tempting
