i still can't get over how horrible "weird twitter" got once it went mainstream

If by horrible you mean painfully unfunny, then yes. And that includes ilx0rs fave @dril.

They’ve stopped verifying any new accounts until they do what lagoon says
― stet, Thursday, 9 November 2017 17:17 (six years ago) link
you should lose your blue check mark if you change your display name imo. Seeing sometime with a random joke pun name and Verified is pretty ??? like what is the purpose of the system
― ciderpress, Thursday, 9 November 2017 17:21 (six years ago) link
heh thats a good own to the system

the only good thing about verified is that it made julian assange so mad that he's not verified that he added a little blue diamond to his name to make people think he's verified

a boo check mark for scarified accounts

i tried adding all sorts of check mark gliphs to my name and they thought of that lol hence asanges sad blue diamond
― lag∞n, Thursday, 9 November 2017 17:41 (six years ago) link
having posts in your timeline from people you don't follow and having no way to turn it off is by far the worst thing they've done, 280 is no big deal in comparison imo
― ciderpress, Thursday, 9 November 2017 17:48 (six years ago) link
Other than from people rt'ing ppl you don't follow? I've never experienced that tbh.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Thursday, 9 November 2017 17:49 (six years ago) link
yeah not RTs, it just shows me algorithmically selected tweets that people I follow have liked, not even RTed. if there's a way to turn it off it's well hidden since I can't find it
― ciderpress, Thursday, 9 November 2017 17:52 (six years ago) link
That sounds awful. I've never seen that (using tweetbot mostly tho)
― Le Bateau Ivre, Thursday, 9 November 2017 17:53 (six years ago) link
do you mean the tweets that your followers have liked? because I hate that.
xp yeah

He's... still not bad, ok he's pretty good. His godlike status here idcf, but ok. What else is there amirite
― Le Bateau Ivre, Thursday, 9 November 2017 19:06 (six years ago) link
buddy they wont even let me fuck the tweet

It does seem like there's "Twitter funny" which is different than regular funny, it's like you only laugh in this very deep interior part of your brain instead of out loud, but maybe still very hard.

I only follow two famous people: Limmy and Neil Cicierega. Works for me
― imago, Thursday, 9 November 2017 19:11 (six years ago) link
Don't think Neil C is a great follow tbh
― The Suite Life of Jack and Wendy (wins), Thursday, 9 November 2017 19:13 (six years ago) link
he brings good content imo and isn't problematic?
― imago, Thursday, 9 November 2017 19:14 (six years ago) link
he's alright, he just spreads himself out through like 7 different platforms so don't expect a whole lot

― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Thursday, 9 November 2017 21:26 (six years ago) link
People are starting to thread these massive posts and fuck me it’s the most awful thing ever. I thought everyone was being overblown abt it but 240 is a big mistake.
― stet, Thursday, 9 November 2017 22:23 (six years ago) link
Hoping it will be more bearable when the novelty of it wears off? Probably not.
― Jeff, Thursday, 9 November 2017 22:24 (six years ago) link
i know i already said this but literally the single thing that was good about twitter was the forced compression of the writing

neonwario is like a dare for how many irony levels deep can u go, def one of the lowkey lynchpins to twitter society

I still have no idea how to use Twitter. If you follow hundreds of accounts, there's no way you read your whole timeline, so how do you pick and choose?
― ur-oik (rip van wanko), Saturday, 11 November 2017 20:10 (six years ago) link
whatevers there lol
― lag∞n, Saturday, 11 November 2017 20:15 (six years ago) link
i follow like 200 ppl max and prune fairly often, also maybe only 80 of them are particularly prolific so my feed isn't that chaotic
also you just read whatever's recent that's what it's all about
― ciderpress, Saturday, 11 November 2017 20:17 (six years ago) link
i try to keep my following under 1000
― lag∞n, Saturday, 11 November 2017 20:18 (six years ago) link
Surely 280 guarantees that any given tweet will now be seen by fewer ppl
― ur-oik (rip van wanko), Saturday, 11 November 2017 20:19 (six years ago) link
yeah good point, there are all sorts of weird effects that cld happen faster scrolling more skipping/scanning etc
― lag∞n, Saturday, 11 November 2017 20:22 (six years ago) link
one thing on mastodon that's kind of cool to look at but would never work for something as big as twitter is the 'federated timeline' which is just a real-time firehose of every post on the network. like 3/4 of the posts on it are in japanese tho because the biggest mastodon instances are the ones for niconico and pixiv
