Their timeline processing seems to have gone extra shit recently. I know they decided to stop presenting a timeline of photos a while back and bump things based on popularity or something but now it seems like photos a week old are just being pushed into my feed, which is just confusing and annoying.
canāt tell if itās just my phone but lately iāve been getting notifications really late/after iāve already seen the thing itās notifying me about. itās getting on me tits.
Yeah. In fact thereās also a weird thing where comments arenāt showing up under posts but youāll know they exist because you had a notification of a reply or a comment.
uninstalled the guardian app because I was getting push notifications about stuff like interest falling by 0.2% in the last financial year and boring shit like that. The only time I need a notification is when things like last nightās bombing happens.
Iām also getting notifications/follow requests on the app & when I go to have a look itās just a list of follow suggestions
Oddly the notifications/follow requests show up as they should on the desktop version
But aside from insta the whole non-chronological UX fad made/makes big realtime news events nonsensical on twitter. Last night/this morning was a jumble of two day old memes, prayers, sketchy smartphone videos, Trump in Saudi jokes & rampant Islamaphobia

Yes! This too.
Yeah, this is in part what prompted me to post this. It seems completely out of step with whatās going on today
There seems to be a general problem with social media at the moment with over-notifying. Facebookās started telling me how many people have interacted with my posts in the last week, like that matters in any way, and Twitter basically now tells me whenever anyone posts anything. Total pair of aching balls.
