Jesus. A couple of OU related posts popped up on my twitter feed, I read a few and posted some here. Now my feed is littered with Sooner football content.
I’ve often thought that it would be good if you could adjust your orbit on feeds. Like how somebody friends you and you accept, and then your feed is cluttered with everything they post. Every meal, every outing, for gods sake I don’t need this much info about anything. You should be able to set them up in orbits. For people you’re really close to, put them in your Mercury orbit. You see 100% of what they post. This would be your very close friends and family, and other things that interest you deeply.
Next you’d have the inner planets. Venus, Earth, Mars. Someone you see everyday but aren’t necessarily tight with, maybe you put them at Mars. Just the highlights, the posts that get the most likes and attention. What you ate, wouldn’t make your feed. Your house burned down or your daughter graduated college would make your feed. Next you’d have the outer planets. I’d honestly say Compress it down to Jupiter/ Saturn, and then Neptune/Uranus, and Pluto. Yes, I’m aware Pluto got demoted.
The less you care for somebody, you would only see the highest viewed posts.
I know this isn’t how SM works, because they want you to keep scrolling, but I think it’d be great.
