lol

always argued for this and i'll say it again, best thing is to close your twitter account and never look back

am trying to root out some of the cynicism and meanness and laziness it's poisoned in me

losing game

i deleted it off my phone last week (as documented upthread) but then i started going on mobile.twitter.com thru the browser app D:

damn steven dennis wins the bad twete award

similar to when i downloaded StayFocusd (free version of Freedom) on my work computer after getting in trouble for slacking/browsing online but then just started using incognito to get around to my block sites :'(

baby steps my man

if only we cld delete our bad habits.......

Nuzzel is a good way to get some of the value out of Twitter w/o having to sit on it all the time.

Don’t install it right now, though, something’s fucking shit up. lol

ya can someone get on this

silicon valley is

but u hav to upload yr brain to the kloud

Freedom blocks in incognito mode.

It's still glitchy though -- sometimes it just doesn't start up on my phone unless I actively open the app.

I keep deleting smoking and drinking but the notifications are still showing up

is there a way to turn off seeing 'likes' from people you follow of other folks holy shit that's annoying

@YourKickstarter @kshipwhitecat Finally, the perfect account, divided evenly between shitting on harmless art projects for existing, and Adam Sandler fandom.

some ppl say twitter is bad now but a dude with the @ 'outlawpoet' getting mad online about ppl making fun of steampunk kickstarters is extremely good to me

the official announcement will be forthcoming but just wanted to give you guys a heads up ill be launching a podcast where i review the most pitiful and hilarious gofundme medical pleas

do Likes expire? lately i've seem some tweets get RTd onto the tl that i KNOW i liked the first time around, but the heart isn't red. what gives?

yeah same

gives you the chance to retweet/relike again which could lead to more retweets and likes

thank you twitter for this opportunity in reliking

i thiiiink when you RT it generates a "shell tweet" that carries the original in your tl. you can sometimes see it if you grab the url? and, twitter being pretty junky, likes don't get picked up with their full detail

idk i really like all of the conspiratorial shit about twitter functions that are 100% just the thing sucking

twitter.com continues to innovate

what's up with 'internet hippo' account, that seems like really basic dumb shit that everybody should hate but it's always getting rewteeted by folks. did somebody buy it after they got a bunch of followers

mh otm from the noize board twitter c/d thread, back when the pickle bar was a thing

I do not understand nerds following what other nerds are doing, especially when they have never met them before.

also my poll options here were amazing

CIO/KIU: using ilx like twitter

my virus scanner flares up twice opening that ^^ thread tbh

sadly unsurprising

I understand it now tho

tbf that was when twitter was mostly web-only, the iPhone had no third-party apps, and the web was an order of magnitude less responsive

and back then it was literally "what's up I'm at the tech conference, here is what a speaker is saying right now"

the fact that the inventors of twitter intended the —status update— to be literal is a delightful historical curio

the current use is a lot different from the original intended use!

I think my first twitter update was something like "ok about to leave work!"

this account is funny https://twitter.com/VeryOldTweets it RTs the first 90 days of twitter

good shit

anybody ever seen this kind of message before?

Yes. Amber Harrison has a few withheld in Australia.

is it because those governments are requesting they be censored?

wow thats pretty fucked up

lots of other governments are pretty strict about some shit that's fucked up to us
I remember seeing requests direct to the US government to shut down accounts that made fun of crown princes

Since we basically DGAF, Twitter, FB et al take things into their own hands so they can keep doing business in those markets

France, though, that's weird and unpleasant

huh that's interesting. i'd only heard about compliance with mass censorship in turkey.

on the other hand I hope that particular account is made unavailable everywhere

I remember a Newsweek story from the 90s with a lead of "This story will not be published in our Candian edition." Something about a man accused of killing his wife, and it was such a big deal, police were trying to sequester the whole country - even checking for any printed material coming into Canada that had something written about the case.

Some of what I just wrote is a little inaccurate, but close enough for remembering something from 24 years ago: http://www.newsweek.com/barbie-ken-murders-190684

It's particularly ineffective because the "translate this tweet from Anglais?" link is still there, and expands a French translation of the original tweet (which is in English), regardless. So you end up with a much more accessible version than just displaying the original would have done!

I'm just confused about the policy around this, and who makes the decision to suppress a tweet. FWIW the orig. says that there wouldn't have been a London Bridge attack if muslims weren't living there. would the actual French government have requested suppression based on hate-speech laws? If so, I'm kind of.... okay with that maybe??

Or maybe it's Twitter being proactive? (In which case how come R1ch4rd Spenc3r still gets to post the shit he posts?)

is it twitter just preemptively censoring stuff that could/would fall foul of local hate-speech laws? (rather than the French govt requesting specific tweets be blocked?)

Germany has had some tweets by Geert Wilders withheld recently iirc
