if you're on or lurk ilx and/or reddit (and, crucially, have nothing to promote online) there's no point to being on twitter at this point, anything worthwhile (and a ton that isn't) gets reposted

Simon H - that isn't really true, whether that's politics or books.

the tweets here too are getting me to consider taking a break from ilx :( that, plus the ramp-up in assholism here lately, which is mostly usa primaries related but it's deeper.even a politics board (that I could turn off on SNA) wouldn't stop it. but people here seem to like things how they are (o/w the assholes would get 51d) so it's really just my problem :(

that Menshevik M is a total fucking dunce also (look at the replies, intersectionality "was influenced by Derrida and Foucault", fucking hell)

that is also bad
however I maintain the original tweet that is screenshoted is still mind-blowing

there is some much inside information needed in order to understand any of this or the references
if you know nothing about any of these things, I would recommend not ruining your brain

Lately I've decided I should report any posts that contain political or factual falsehoods that I find harmful, along with any false or misleading information about COVID. The only problem is, I'm not sure which combination of report reasons I should select for these. Most of the choices are more about causing direct harm to individuals, as opposed to causing confusion and harm with fake information.
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Monday, 13 April 2020 00:01 (four years ago) link
yeah, they have really fucked up by not just throwing “covid-19 misinformation” in as a categoryprobably a lot of internal waffling of how to make it a more general use category and what “science” and “medicine” really mean
― mh, Monday, 13 April 2020 01:11 (four years ago) link
I feel like the ability to "fact check" bullshit tweets would be very helpful, but I may be deluding myself.
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Monday, 13 April 2020 01:13 (four years ago) link
"facts" according to whom, though?
sigh
― mh, Monday, 13 April 2020 18:32 (four years ago) link
According to me. Obviously there is a subjective element there, but maybe if tweets are egregious enough,vtgey will draw more than just my own attention, and ultimately get some of the worst offenders banned.
I get that this is very quixotic, pie in the sky stuff, but I'm bored.

― k3vin k., Tuesday, 14 April 2020 20:13 (four years ago) link
he's not just the dad.. he's the boss
idk there's this element where someone who works in marketing also has their own account where they're tweeting about how it's a cool experiment to present a brand as this inspirational voice.. that's also marketing
and the marketing company is just another company

imo they should just tell the truth that steak-umms are reconstituted beef trimmings and eating them instead of buying fancy cuts of meat, which there are only so many of per cow, is a lot more environmentally conscious

I rarely tweet but last night I referred to a surgery I had performed in a hospital that's currently being demolished in my city...
This morning, the tweet has disappeared as well as all the replies/conversations with it. No warning or comment, just nuked without trace.
I used the word "guts" in place of "internal organs", which might have triggered something in their internal sentiment analysis but holy crap what a garbage platform. I admit, I've been using it more in quarantine, but I feel ready to move on to the next garbage platform concocted by another shitty technology company.
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Wednesday, 29 April 2020 17:01 (four years ago) link
are you banned/suspended? could it have been deleted for political reasons or just some arbitrary moderation bullshit
twitter is dud for banning me for saying fuck off to the wrong person after telling me blatantly antisemitic & homophobic abuse doesn’t violate their rules. jack dorsey is a nazi coddling fuck
― fuck it (Left), Wednesday, 29 April 2020 17:42 (four years ago) link
Not banned, just my tweet & subsequent tweet-replies/children/convos were all nuked without any notification. I went to my friends pages who had replied and all instances of their replies have also vanished.
I have been banned/twitter-jailed for 48 hours for posting Drive Like Jehu lyrics to accompany live video I took of them performing said song: https://genius.com/Drive-like-jehu-luau-lyrics
...but that process was really clear and direct. This seems way more shady and for not even a clear reason. Makes me wonder how often they shadow-censor people who tweet far more often than i do?

― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Wednesday, 29 April 2020 18:58 (four years ago) link
That seems like a glitch? As far as I know, Twitter doesn’t just delete tweets and threads, it only does suspensions/bans and locks accounts until offending tweets are removed by the user unless you’re in Germany or w/e and some content is completely unviewable but still present
