As a counterpoint you're unlikely to be doxxed, lose your job, or any of the other social "features" using RSS. While one could simply say nothing and hope to avoid this, it's still up to the Twitter algorithms to display relevant content, which could change at any moment. Effectively it's about control, with Twitter you're hoping for benevolence as you're the product, with RSS you're the customer.

> it's still up to the Twitter algorithms to display relevant content

What do you mean? I just see a chronological list of tweets, not a randomly-ordered list like facebook

I find myself having to swap off Twitter's algorithmic feed once or twice a day on mobile.
Huh, I didn't know there even was an algorithmic feed. I haven't used the official Facebook app since it stopped being Tweetie, so I wasn't following the changes.
