Somebody at Twitter 1.0 left a poison pill algorithm hidden in the code to keep certain people shadow banned after they left or were fired.

Almost certainly this is what they were doing. My guess is the original code probably was fairly decent because it was a start up and Dorsey despite being a soy faggot probably had some decent talent to begin with which is why the service limped on as long as it did but as the company became more activist and staffed with diversity hires it probably became worse.
Have you used Facebook recently? Just in every day browsing it seems to have all sorts of errors in even basic navigation and it noticeably gobbles RAM and processor resources. If it wasn't for the fact mobile devices have gotten faster the last few years it wouldn't be usable.
They need to start again with it but the company probably couldn't pull something like that off at this point because its best days are long behind it.
There are obvious bugs with Facebook. If I click on a notification of a comment reply, it, more often than not, does not take me to that comment. What seems to happen is that it takes me to the comments page for the post, and even opens the thread automatically, but turns on "Most Relevant" comments, and, for some reason, doesn't consider a comment that literally mentions me, of which I just clicked on the notification to see, as relevant. So you click "All Comments," but then it refreshes and the thread is no longer open. So you have to scroll to the top level comment which, if the post is particularly popular with thousands of top level comments, is impossible.
This has been like this for a long time, possibly years. And that's just one manifestation of this type of issue with notifications not taking you where they should.
At first I attributed it to malice. I believed they were trying to stifle long, argumentative conversations for one reason or another. But I've since realized it happens regardless of the conversation. It could be a friendly chat with you cousin on photos of their wedding.
The thing is, too, that Facebook wants this type of engagement. This type of engagement is what keeps people on their website. There have been many times where I was stuck on Facebook in an argument with someone and couldn't get to the notification, so I just decided to leave all together.
It's crazy that such a massive bug which directly impacts their user engagement, which is a major factor in how much money they make, goes unfixed for years.
It's to the point where most people I've talked to just accept it and don't even consider it a bug. It's just the way it is. As if it's intentional or something. The public just accepts that modern software is shitty.
No, I am perma-banned on FB - can't even bring up the page. I use web versions not apps as much as possible so my experiences are often different from what people report on mobile devices.
