Tweets in ICYMI should not be eligible for RTs. Hobos finding tweets they missed and RTing them just puts old tweets at the top of everyone else's timelines. Savage.

Lol
in general, once you've Liked or RT'd a tweet you shouldn't see it for at least a week
― flopson, Wednesday, 15 March 2017 17:44 (seven years ago) link
I'm anti-ICYMI. If I follow you, I didn't miss it. There is never a scenario where it is conceivable that I would miss it.

icymi annoys me bc i'm on twitter all the time and when i go to twitter i want to see what was just tweeted since the last time i went on twitter, not shit that was tweeted 16h ago or 22h ago when i was on twitter the day before
― marcos, Wednesday, 15 March 2017 18:52 (seven years ago) link
also i've already hit the "x" next to icymi to see it less but it still shows up all the time
― marcos, Wednesday, 15 March 2017 18:53 (seven years ago) link
spend less time on twitter :P
― flopson, Wednesday, 15 March 2017 19:07 (seven years ago) link
i hit the x every time and it still shows up about as often as always

tina springtime is some wacky twitter person who works as a local organic farmer somewhere and apparently went from mildly amusing to full on fascist, conspiracy theory crazy and allied herself with other malcontents over the course of idk, hours or weeks or something.

protip: check her likes. 2/3rds fascist misery, the rest goopy selfhelp "free yourself through the breath of air" slop
― goole, Thursday, 16 March 2017 02:44 (seven years ago) link
weird how her badness kind of busted out of a small corner all at once. i'd seen ppl making fun of her just for the hippy shit a while ago.
also if her avi wasn't fake enough she tweets a little too often to be a working farmer. i know it's march but come on.
― goole, Thursday, 16 March 2017 02:46 (seven years ago) link
her av is weirdly fake but there are tons of pictures of her communing with vegetables and whatnot, she prob works some or helps out on a farm or whatever or works at a farm stand or at least shops at the farmers market
― lag∞n, Thursday, 16 March 2017 02:54 (seven years ago) link
actual working farmers can tweet a ton tho, check out shepherd twitter!

like I have friends who I am always scared are on the verge of weird shit
like "i left my eggs on the counter they do it in europe it is fine and healthy" followed by ppl explaining that eggs are washed in united states, lack the coating preventing bacterial probs, put them in the fridge
then the comment several days later saying whoa you are two months pregnant for the love of god refrigerate your eggs in the usa
― mh 😏, Thursday, 16 March 2017 03:14 (seven years ago) link
"The coating" includes chicken shit, I'm pro-egg washing
― softie (silby), Thursday, 16 March 2017 03:21 (seven years ago) link
yuna @yunawinterwash the chicken not the egg
― lag∞n, Thursday, 16 March 2017 03:22 (seven years ago) link
wash the egg, slaughter and denude the chicken
― softie (silby), Thursday, 16 March 2017 03:38 (seven years ago) link
talk to the chicken, communicate telepathically with the egg

matt taibbi having to explain to people that louise mensch is not a good source of information is pretty lol
once you log on to twitter you have to ignore all other sources of data. no articles, only tweetstorms, baby. louise is good now

in my timeline i only ever hear ppl making fun of these loons
― lag∞n, Friday, 24 March 2017 15:48 (seven years ago) link
same
I feel like a lot of this traffic is a glut of the people who consider themselves "well informed" but are really just looking for a mass-sourced tabloid news
tbh we did it to ourselves
― mh 😏, Friday, 24 March 2017 15:51 (seven years ago) link
it seems like theyre kinda driving more circumspect ppl insane too like you have a lot of people devoting many tweets to countering russia conspiracies when its pretty obvious that there was a russia conspiracy
― lag∞n, Friday, 24 March 2017 16:04 (seven years ago) link
yeah there was some shit going on but the need to tie every campaign misstep or weird thing that has happened in the last year into one master russian plan is very much the thing people who can't understand a complex world do
like there are people actively believing and ranting on about how there was some russian psyop to entrap Weiner so his email would get searched at just the right date to affect the election
dude was just horny at the least opportune time as usual, c'mon
― mh 😏, Friday, 24 March 2017 16:20 (seven years ago) link
sorry for too many political specifics on twitter thread
these conspiracy people are really bad, though

garland, mensch et al are imo very funny on their own, just some extremely self regarding loons going on important twitter rants, the only disturbing thing is that a lot of srs sober professionally powerful ppl seem to take them seriously

Does anyone here use Twitter for Mac? Since yesterday they removed the'@' from reply tweets, and replaced it with a tinyscript 'in reply to' byline. Utterly chaotic, you couldn't immediately see if someone replied to someone or had an original tweet. Changed back to Tweetbot today.
