sucks when a celeb makes the same joke you made in a previous tweet and you look at their RTs and favs and followers vs. your RTs and favs and followers and you feel a little sad about it
― congratulations (n/a), Monday, 2 July 2012 19:59 (twelve years ago) link
eh if someone makes the same joke as you it's prob not a terribly original joke worth feeling any type of way about

Tweetbot for iOS can mute hashtags and keywords. Quiets things down quite a bit.
― Jeff, Saturday, 28 July 2012 16:53 (twelve years ago) link
Oh Jeff, you're brilliant. I didn't know there was a keyword/expression mute in Tweetbot until now.
In Australia we have a "sport" called "AFL" that's basically just a lower-class version of rugby. Every week the incredibly obnoxious AFL twitter account starts a load of brand new hashtags, one for EVERY SINGLE FUCKING GAME (#aflbluestigers #afleaglesbats etc etc fucking etc). I've just created a wildcard filter (#afl*) in Tweetbot that WORKS and suddenly love the shit out of you, Jeff.

What was it this kid tweeted to Tom Daley that got him arrested, then? Did he threaten to blow him sky high? Either way, Graham Linehan's gleeful "get him banned" campaign is nagl
― stet, Tuesday, 31 July 2012 08:15 (twelve years ago) link
It was something along the lines of "You've let your dead dad down".
― Alba, Tuesday, 31 July 2012 08:17 (twelve years ago) link
Oh. I see. It then escalated into tweets like "I'll stick a knife down your throat" to people who attacked him

― Alba, Tuesday, 31 July 2012 08:22 (twelve years ago) link
jesus christ I fucking hate the way Twitter scapegoats individuals sometimes, and it's even less of a good look when those individuals are CHILDREN
the kid was being a cunt but singling him out as though the problem isn't endemic makes me really uncomfortable
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 31 July 2012 08:25 (twelve years ago) link

see also the hunger games racist tweets. yeah they were dubious but OMG WITCH-HUNTING 12-YEAR-OLDS IS EVEN WORSE

Well, he's 17, so not quite a child, but yes.
Sudden thought: not a big fan of people having to use real names online, but knowing people's ages might take a lot of heat out of things. Not practical, I know, but knowing someone's 17 you can kind of just put certain things in a box.
― Alba, Tuesday, 31 July 2012 08:29 (twelve years ago) link
There is an awful part of me that gets a real kick out of police arresting young trolls and presumably putting the fear of God in them, but as I say, this probably an awful part of me and not to be trusted.
― Alba, Tuesday, 31 July 2012 08:35 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, fuk a troll, but looking back through last night's tweeting it was also not great the way Daley and Linehan both set their mobs on him. Of course the kid was going to escalate it from there.
I am expecting some pretty contorted thinking to arrive later to explain how Robin Hood Airport = outrageous prosecution and infringement of all we hold dear while arresting idiot teenagers = noble and just.

― mod night at the oasis (NickB), Tuesday, 31 July 2012 08:47 (twelve years ago) link
I don't blame Daley, that was a personal response to an insult. (Why Daley thought checking Twitter so soon after that performance - or indeed during the Olympics at all - would be a good idea, I have no clue.) Certain adults (Linehan, yeah) acting like the Twitter police is just NAGL in the extreme though.
