Elon Musk, the CEO of Twitter, said on Monday that the company’s team had “finished” a number of tasks “overnight,” including expanding the reach of retweets and “removing the filter causing false negatives.”
“More work team performed overnight,” Musk tweeted.
He said, “Eliminated penalty if user follows author, increased # of suggested tweets, better monitoring of lost tweets, reduced filter creating false negatives, removed height penalty affecting tweets with pictures/video, enhanced reach of retweet.”
On Sunday, Musk said that the engineers spent a “full day at Twitter HQ” with him solving two critical issues with the microblogging network.
When he tweeted, “up to 95% of my tweets didn’t get transmitted at all,” he said, since the “Fanout service for Following feed” was becoming overwhelmed.
Furthermore, he claimed that the percentage block count was being replaced with an absolute block count in the recommendation system, which “caused accounts with numerous followers to be ejected, even if blocks were barely 0.1% of followers.”
Also rectified this week, according to Musk, are large typefaces and inadequate paragraph space.
