Twitter C/D

If by horrible you mean painfully unfunny, then yes. And that includes ilx0rs fave @dril.

thankig u

They’ve stopped verifying any new accounts until they do what lagoon says

you should lose your blue check mark if you change your display name imo. Seeing sometime with a random joke pun name and Verified is pretty ??? like what is the purpose of the system

heh thats a good own to the system

the only good thing about verified is that it made julian assange so mad that he's not verified that he added a little blue diamond to his name to make people think he's verified

a boo check mark for scarified accounts

i tried adding all sorts of check mark gliphs to my name and they thought of that lol hence asanges sad blue diamond

having posts in your timeline from people you don't follow and having no way to turn it off is by far the worst thing they've done, 280 is no big deal in comparison imo

Other than from people rt'ing ppl you don't follow? I've never experienced that tbh.

yeah not RTs, it just shows me algorithmically selected tweets that people I follow have liked, not even RTed. if there's a way to turn it off it's well hidden since I can't find it

That sounds awful. I've never seen that (using tweetbot mostly tho)

do you mean the tweets that your followers have liked? because I hate that.

xp yeah

Show yourself you coward!

Congrats on your 1000❤️ tweet!

what no @dril is still god

dril is everyones fav :]

He's... still not bad, ok he's pretty good. His godlike status here idcf, but ok. What else is there amirite

buddy they wont even let me fuck the tweet

It does seem like there's "Twitter funny" which is different than regular funny, it's like you only laugh in this very deep interior part of your brain instead of out loud, but maybe still very hard.

I only follow two famous people: Limmy and Neil Cicierega. Works for me

Don't think Neil C is a great follow tbh

he brings good content imo and isn't problematic?

he's alright, he just spreads himself out through like 7 different platforms so don't expect a whole lot

follow ideas gladly received btw

find https://twitter.com/oldfriend99 pretty amusing

Some of the jokes about Chuck norris are just stupid

you guys realize we all invented Long Twitter back in 2001

People are starting to thread these massive posts and fuck me it’s the most awful thing ever.

I thought everyone was being overblown abt it but 240 is a big mistake.

Hoping it will be more bearable when the novelty of it wears off? Probably not.

i know i already said this but literally the single thing that was good about twitter was the forced compression of the writing

pour one out, heaven needed a feature-light tumblr used by millions of misogynist bots

the only good twitter accounts are neonwario and everyone adjacent to him

young_laureate is probably my favourite twitter account tbrr

140: ¯_(ツ)_/¯

i <3 140/280 joek tweets

the only good twitter accounts are neonwario and everyone adjacent to him

my twitter is extremely good

neonwario is like a dare for how many irony levels deep can u go, def one of the lowkey lynchpins to twitter society

I still have no idea how to use Twitter. If you follow hundreds of accounts, there's no way you read your whole timeline, so how do you pick and choose?

whatevers there lol

i follow like 200 ppl max and prune fairly often, also maybe only 80 of them are particularly prolific so my feed isn't that chaotic

also you just read whatever's recent that's what it's all about

i try to keep my following under 1000

Surely 280 guarantees that any given tweet will now be seen by fewer ppl

yeah good point, there are all sorts of weird effects that cld happen faster scrolling more skipping/scanning etc

one thing on mastodon that's kind of cool to look at but would never work for something as big as twitter is the 'federated timeline' which is just a real-time firehose of every post on the network. like 3/4 of the posts on it are in japanese tho because the biggest mastodon instances are the ones for niconico and pixiv

i wish to be annihilated by the blast of data

i've been aggressively pruning my feed of moralist grandstanding, performative outrage, and basically anything that annoys me and now it's pretty boring and therefore much better. following a few accounts that have a greater reach and are quality retweeters (like lagoon) is enough for me. usually if something is particularly funny/good/weird it'll pop up in my feed eventually.
