shdnt be able to mute ppl u follow imho, its a violation
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 17:22 (eight years ago) link
it is a weird 'have it both ways' and i have never done it on principle. but i guess it helps if there are people you don't want to see who you don't want to deal with with them knowing you unfollowed them, though, unfortunately there is social ugliness on twitter that it can be better not to allow to escalate for some people. especially given how badly Twitter seems to handle issues of stalking, harrassment, etc.

Twitter is 110 times better than Facebook since it's all out in the open.

Imo mute makes a lot of sense for temporary time outs

I have followed ppl and unfollowed them if I see they aren't tweeting much/at all - need #content
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 18:36 (eight years ago) link
I don't think I ever unfollow for lack of content. How would I know? I'd never see them tweet.
Now, too much bad content... unfollow immediately

unfollowing but keeping lists, like tv channels, is a thing i've seen a lot of people do

i follow thousands of people. it's not generally advisable but i like just getting a big mess of voices in my feed and occasionally taking out ones that show themselves to be not worth the trouble.

Twitter has made my poetry more aphoristic. Formally, it’s a platform ideally suited to the aphorism; in fact aphorisms should be quite a bit less than 140 characters. Further, you can like (or “favorite”) an aphorism even if you disagree, or aren’t sure you agree. “RT ≠ endorsement,” as many Twitter bios attest, but nor does a favorite. Some tweets, of course, aspire to literal, factual truth — those that report on science or the news, for example. But others are more like essays or poems or novels which can’t, fundamentally, be true or not true; it’s a category error.

i clicked through from this tweet and was kind of shocked by the disparity between retweets and people actually doing something to help. i understand that not everyone has money to donate and maybe it's right to be suspicious of people asking for cash on the internet and everything, but i dunno, this sort of thing makes me feel that twitter is mostly just about people fronting:

should say that i recognise that is much more to that tweet than just asking for assistance obv - injustice, violence and social inequality in a nutshell

sorry, this was a dumb example to use to make a point about the shittiness of social media
