"gentle reminder" wld be a good one
Wow Jeff YOU CANT HANDLE THE TRUTH joeks
Funny though, without politics - or at the very least tweets about articles about politics - I'd render my own twitter experience wholly useless tbh.
I only have two ban words: starwars (from whenever the fuck the last shit film came out) and Banksy (because the number of people who think they are rt'ing Banksy while rt'ing some fan tweet thing is more annoying than Banksy at this point). Much more a people banner/muter tbh (this list runs in the dozens).

I've never seen this, and have no clue what it means.

i have muted the word trump and that's it.
i am going to try to get more heavily into muting in the future
― -_- (jim in vancouver), Thursday, 22 June 2017 17:01 (six years ago) link
RT[^RT]+RT mutes retweet chains, which I guess isn't relevant anymore since not many people use old style RT's.

I use twitter strictly for professional stuff, but this joke account popped up on the periphery:

btw who is that supposed "weird twitter" account that not the nyt profile that i've never heard of before

xp I see, Jeff. Yeah that kind of died didn't it? (I'm still using tweetbot but it's pretty much useless with all the new twitter ui changes. It can't even properly show a quoted tweet...)
I've a lot to be thankful for wrt Twitter (met my love, writing gigs etc), but I've been in Spain for two months, pretty much completely ignored twitter. And for the first time I can easily imagine it not being in my life (which sounds pathetic, but I was a 24/7 twitter junkie).
― Le Bateau Ivre, Thursday, 22 June 2017 18:23 (six years ago) link
now i'm getting this 'feature' that shows me when a follow 'likes' a post. normally i didn't mind but it's showing me the same tweets over and over again, this happening to anyone else? like ya i saw that ed zitron liked that post... yesterday
― global tetrahedron, Thursday, 22 June 2017 18:24 (six years ago) link
^^ this shit is why the official twitter site and app have been useless for me for aeons. With tweetbot not getting with the times, I predict I'll lose my interest in the whole hellhole pretty fast.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Thursday, 22 June 2017 18:25 (six years ago) link
was just speculating on twitter dot com that they mustve discovered that repeat viewings of tweets —increases engagement— or some shit, and we descend further into hell

like on one level i think it's because they're just trying to shovel more Content down yer throat but i wonder if there's a secret lizard brain part that we actually use it because we just like scrolling

pull to refresh is up there with the most devious mechanisms of all time
― lag∞n, Thursday, 22 June 2017 18:38 (six years ago) link
I don't even have many followers and do minimal engagement and I'm hooked, I can't imagine how insidious it would be to have a following
― global tetrahedron, Thursday, 22 June 2017 18:40 (six years ago) link
i bet if u have a ton of followers it kinds sucks at lest from a replies perspective, the faves and rts r prob real good

Worse, I've got auto refresh on :-/
Having a 'following' when yr not a weird twitter person/jokester is indeed insidious and, tbh, intimidating. It becomes a nuissance. My gf has 9,000 followers and she's very careful about what she says, how she says it (also to do with politics, tbh, but then everything is politics, especially on twitter). I've about 800 followers iirc but already feel inhibited at times.

the worst twitter notoriety is prob when youre known for yr job then u make one little joke and get fired

Someone please explain to me what the fuck "Don't @ me" means.
― Mr. Snrub, Thursday, 29 June 2017 18:23 (six years ago) link
When a man hates a woman very much, sometimes he replies to her tweets with mansplainy bullshit that misses the point. Sometimes the woman pre-empts this by saying "don't @me", because "@user" is how you reply to someone.
And now everyone says when they want to say "this challops is my challops and I dgaf"

By now it's just standing by something perceived as unpopular or out of character. "I'm a brony, don't @ me"
