Twitter C/D

eh journalists are pretty central to my twitter experience. if you just care about your buddies and weird twitter i don't see why tumblr can't fulfill that need

bc they're not on tumblr

no one is on tumblr

tumblr was cool kind of sad to see it die, though there are still some good ones

Apart from the occasional fix of arty smut tumblr never served any purpose for me. Not been on tumblr for years. It doesn't exist anymore in my world and I have no idea what the hell, if anything, is going on there these days.

Twitter without journos though: where's the fun in that?

journos on twitter is actually how you get the arty smut fix these days

That is not entirely wrong :)

they did say a close relationship

I think it sucks that Twitter has turned out to be a real boon for, more than anyone else, a coterie swho already write for a living, already has a venue for its work, already has a following . Of ourse I can, and have, curated my feed to exclude all but a few, but the Big Thing on Twitter will always center around a journalistic figure and here new piece/latest beef etc. I like to imagine a Twitter where these already prominent figures (good as many may be) were not allowed to step in and take over.

ack, sorry for errors, it's late

I really dislike this new thing (new to me, anyhow) of seeing tweets liked by people I follow on my timeline. Is there a way to turn it off?

Wow, not heard of that before, that would annoy the shit out of me. Idk I use tweetbot, I want Twitter to a linear flow. The Twitter desktop and app are so annoying ever since they introduced the 'while you were away' stuff. It breaks the flow. (This is not helpful for you anagram, soz)

i find not using twitter eliminates this minor annoyance associated with twitter

do you watch television

guessing deems watches television else he'd be posting in the television thread all the time

i dont even ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mark Hamill has started reading Trump quotes in the voice of Joker, on Twitter

best hack i did on twttr was to erase the app from my phone and computer

sub-darraghmac at best

The hack will set you free

how long did Twitter spend relitigating dem primary in 08? will this ever end?

no one was on twitter yet in '08

I was but we were busy saying "HEY I AM AT A CONCERT WOO" and there wasn't as much interaction

spaz

Josh Malina is trolling like a weird Twitter pro today, starting here: https://twitter.com/JoshMalina/status/818475776542547968

xp yeah my account says it joined sept 08, but going through my feed and clicking on everyone now, i can't even find people who joined earlier than me so i have no clue who i was following back then.

i think maybe i originally signed up just to follow dril

joined november 2006, it was mostly just screwing around. I remember using it like a weird opt-in/out group text at times (it could text you updates if you had that turned on for particular friends)

I remember turning on notifications on the weekend or when a handful of friends were at the same music festival and we'd post things like "heading out to the bar at 8" or "going to go to the north stage at 3pm" as kind of a general meet-up thing

just reading opinions and interacting didn't become a thing until after most people had modern phones

some friends had t-mobile sidekick phones, remember those? lol

legendary phone

i held out on social media entirely until 2010, then i went in...

i'm new to twitter, joined in 2015. facebook though i've been on since 2004 :/

that's weird. thirteen years of my life have been documented there?

yeah same for me but i never really posted on facebook much ever

ilx is probably the internet place where the past decade of my life is most thoroughly documented

same

yea me too.

i feel like dril's "not as good" recent period people were complaining about in the last couple years was actually a harbinger of the horrible 2017 ideas he predicted, Nostradamus-style

i've noticed some prominent accounts i follow have started using Tweet Delete to delete all their tweets after 48 hours... super fn anoying

i wld prob do that if i was some sort of professional person with a public profile, ive said some rude things on that site

only makes sense if you only tweet about current events

fwiw i usually delete my own tweets out of shame and embarrassment around 30 seconds after making them

did i miss something wrt 140 character limit? a few weeks ago i started seeing a ton of tweets that are truncated w/ an ellipses and when i click on them in my feed it goes to the tweet but it's still truncated, so i click again and it brings me to a safari window where i have to view the tweet again to see the full thing. it super f'ing annoying, why cant they just show me the full tweet within the app

i think they made it so that mentions at the start of your tweet and embedded content like image/video links don't count towards 140

what if this is intentional and spicer is a dril fan

what if

spicer

is

dril

i didn't want to go that far but.... wow

it'd make the whole dippin' dots thing way less wtf
