i follow a bunch of "weird twitter" people but i don't know how you can define a community based on who-follows-and-interacts-with-whom because it's all so fluid and permeable and contingent. do you define it by style or method? am i "weird twitter"? i don't think so. others might say yes.

Psychoanalytically, we might infer that @hell_homer’s suffers severe cognitive dissonance over his identification with “weird twitter”.
hmm yes, i will use a big adverb to characterize this phenomenon, ahh um hmm yes ah

i like "weird twitter" as a name
― max, Wednesday, 17 October 2012 19:47 (eleven years ago) link
i mean its NOT a "community" its like a... network? a territory of twitter? "weird twitter" is a better name for those things that eg "twitcrew" or "jokemen" or whatever, which imply cliques or communities

reminds me of when music journalists, especially british ones a few years ago, called a bunch of music "new weird america"

well most of the original weird twitter people came from a defined community, the FYAD forum on somethingawful. since then it's obviously perpetuated into a much bigger thing though

'keep twitter weird' - me, when asked to comment on weird twitter
― 乒乓, Wednesday, 17 October 2012 19:51 (eleven years ago) link
i just recoil at the the word weird tbh
― real men have been preparing manly dishes for centuries (elmo argonaut), Wednesday, 17 October 2012 19:51 (eleven years ago) link
for me it's more just a style of using twitter (abstract/nonsequitor/funny vs. hey check out this article on mashable)
― Anime Mann (diamonddave85), Wednesday, 17 October 2012 19:52 (eleven years ago) link
people who post that way tend to want to follow people who do too, thus "crews" or networks or subcultures

right but "weird twitter" i would think also includes a bunch of new people + the dada stalinists + so many bots + like nancy grace
― max, Wednesday, 17 October 2012 19:53 (eleven years ago) link
i'm so weird and random
― real men have been preparing manly dishes for centuries (elmo argonaut), Wednesday, 17 October 2012 19:53 (eleven years ago) link
like nancy grace is not part of "twitcrew" but she does exist in "weird twitter," thats why its more helpful to talk about it as a territory or attitude
she is a weird retwitter
― puff puff post (uh oh I'm having a fantasy), Wednesday, 17 October 2012 19:54 (eleven years ago) link
weird twitter is usually only funny when its my friends doing it imo
stranger weird twitter is like w/e it's just a stranger spouting off
yeah anyway when you hand me a medium that forces such a tiny character limit my instinct is that its most fitting use is for jokes & nonsense - if i'm going to be saying serious stuff i want the option of having more space to elaborate
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 17 October 2012 19:56 (eleven years ago) link
I just use twitter to find out and remind myself about shows that's p much it

regarding nancy grace and horse_ebooks, that stuff wouldn't have been considered weird until it was curated and recontextualized through RTs
― Anime Mann (diamonddave85), Wednesday, 17 October 2012 20:18 (eleven years ago) link
horse_ebooks is pretty fucking strange regardless

― max, Wednesday, 17 October 2012 20:18 (eleven years ago) link
horse_ebooks is curated by its creators now, or at least its algorithm is a lot more sophisticated at hitting funny/meaningful fragments than it was when i started following it a couple years ago
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 17 October 2012 20:20 (eleven years ago) link
i dont think most would have given horse_ebooks a second thought unless it had been framed as random absurdist poetry
― Anime Mann (diamonddave85), Wednesday, 17 October 2012 20:21 (eleven years ago) link
like it used to actually just be random sentences from horse-related ebooks
