Twitter C/D

the quoting rt feature they put in not long ago is like the best thing ever but nobody thinkpieces improvements bc humans are terrible

yes otm

mostly the changes have been good imo! like remember when we all thought the RT button was dumb, or the conversation lines were dumb, actually those things ended up being good and not dumb

some of them are good some not so good but even if you added only good functionality when taken together the overall effect degrades the simplicity and therefor usability of the thing, the impression w twitter is they have a lot of ppl adding things and no one pruning, which is prob an effect of an overly analytics based approach its easy to measure what a new feature does but its hard to pinpoint an over all suffering experience, tho of course as weve seen all these new features have failed to actually grow their base anyway

its kinda interesting watching software age and enter its baroque phase, facebook obvs is nearly incomprehensible theres so much shit in there, but you dont really need to comprehend it you just look at yr feed and its more popular than ever

instagram is the polar opposite where they have fanatically kept their design simple and locked down, tho theyve has creeping functionality too, instagram is the worst tho so i guess i have some love for complexity and def weirdness

the worst thing that happened to twitter was the professionalization/legitimization of it, things r always better before anyone takes them serious

i wasn't on twitter before it became legit but the fact that pros and legits coexist with trolls and teenagers &c is one of my fav things about it

true that is p good

id say as far as being interesting from a design/culture standpoint

snapchat > twitter > facebook > instagram > linkdin

as far as how much i use them tho

twitter > facebook > instagram > snapchat > linkdin

snapchat is almost just messaging tho but it does have some social features so its ok to include it

i was just about to create a linkedin profile when i got offered a job

i havent really used it but linked in is insanely awful

I endorse you for Social Media

ty i endorse u for compliment culture

linkedin is awful but I like it for being able to keep tabs on whether people I once knew might be useful to me professionally. And nobody tries to talk to me on it.

yea i will definitely join next time i'm on job market and hit up old colleagues classmates & alumni networks... seems gd annoying tho

snapchat is the most legit. generally into streaming/vid content creation platforms. snapchat stories are my favorite

i used to be really into twitter but ended up locking myself out of my account somehow. i created another account but never told anyone and post semi-infrequently so i only have like 5 followers which i really like. it makes me really happy when totally random ppl rt or fav me because it feels so old-internet. instagram is really terrible now i think

have u guys seen yeti its like snapchat stories except organized exclusively around colleges its... pretty good lmao

id say as far as being interesting from a design/culture standpoint

Twitter Sees 6% Increase In “Like” Activity After First Week Of Hearts

ugh

it's the novelty factor

people want to see what happens when they push a heart, maybe something "new"/different happens

wait a few months and check out the stats then

next they'll turn facebook into a heart

at least then it might finally bleed to death

if you click me do i not bleed

man can i just read ta-nehisi coates & jamelle bouie @ing one another about history books without seeing every civilian history bozo Joining The Party? i wish the conversation lines fenced off strangers, everybody's so awful, i know everyone is v positive about twitter engagement itt but it is craven & boring too i think

if u follow them both u shdnt have to see the randos, also they are both terrible at twitter comic book reading nerds who say shit like "awesome sauce!"

i know everyone is v positive about twitter engagement itt
