Jack Dorsey, Twitter's CEO wants users to have a more decentralization on social media algorithms by giving users the option to choose their own recommendation algorithm rather than by having a default algorithm from a single company. Moreover, the social networking platform wants to build an 'App Store-Like' marketplace where users can download their own algorithm of choice.

A Decentralized Network for a More Competitive Platform
As first reported by the Verge, Dorsey today had a call with his investors and expressed how he thinks a decentralized social network is feasible and is a much better option for many social media platforms today, and especially Twitter itself. Dorsey notes that Twitter sees a network that's beyond its own control as one that is more 'competitive.' In an interview with the Verge Dorsey says Twitter benefits from this by having "a much larger corpus of conversation. That's where we will be competitive."
