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

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 everybody but allowing DMs seems like the new thing

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
