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
― ciderpress, Thursday, 9 November 2017 17:48 (six years ago) link
Other than from people rt'ing ppl you don't follow? I've never experienced that tbh.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Thursday, 9 November 2017 17:49 (six years ago) link
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
― ciderpress, Thursday, 9 November 2017 17:52 (six years ago) link
That sounds awful. I've never seen that (using tweetbot mostly tho)
― Le Bateau Ivre, Thursday, 9 November 2017 17:53 (six years ago) link
do you mean the tweets that your followers have liked? because I hate that.
xp yeah

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

He's... still not bad, ok he's pretty good. His godlike status here idcf, but ok. What else is there amirite
― Le Bateau Ivre, Thursday, 9 November 2017 19:06 (six years ago) link
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
― imago, Thursday, 9 November 2017 19:11 (six years ago) link
Don't think Neil C is a great follow tbh
― The Suite Life of Jack and Wendy (wins), Thursday, 9 November 2017 19:13 (six years ago) link
he brings good content imo and isn't problematic?
― imago, Thursday, 9 November 2017 19:14 (six years ago) link
he's alright, he just spreads himself out through like 7 different platforms so don't expect a whole lot
― frogbs, Thursday, 9 November 2017 19:16 (six years ago) link
follow ideas gladly received btw

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.
― stet, Thursday, 9 November 2017 22:23 (six years ago) link
Hoping it will be more bearable when the novelty of it wears off? Probably not.
― Jeff, Thursday, 9 November 2017 22:24 (six years ago) link
i know i already said this but literally the single thing that was good about twitter was the forced compression of the writing

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

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?
― ur-oik (rip van wanko), Saturday, 11 November 2017 20:10 (six years ago) link
whatevers there lol
― lag∞n, Saturday, 11 November 2017 20:15 (six years ago) link
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
― ciderpress, Saturday, 11 November 2017 20:17 (six years ago) link
i try to keep my following under 1000
― lag∞n, Saturday, 11 November 2017 20:18 (six years ago) link
Surely 280 guarantees that any given tweet will now be seen by fewer ppl
― ur-oik (rip van wanko), Saturday, 11 November 2017 20:19 (six years ago) link
yeah good point, there are all sorts of weird effects that cld happen faster scrolling more skipping/scanning etc
― lag∞n, Saturday, 11 November 2017 20:22 (six years ago) link
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'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.
― ryan, Saturday, 11 November 2017 20:42 (six years ago) link
thx bud, i just started trying to eliminate the moral/sociological experts in my feed even tho theyre often informative its such a vibe killer
― lag∞n, Saturday, 11 November 2017 20:50 (six years ago) link
yeah otm i tend to follow professional people with specialized interests these days instead of ppl who feel the need to have an opinion on everything even if the opinions are “right”

The other side is some of the same ppl show up so often for me I don't have to follow them.

yesterday i unfollowed someone and the algo immediately showed me two of their tweets via the x and five others liked interface, trying to get me to change my mind lol
― lag∞n, Saturday, 11 November 2017 20:59 (six years ago) link
which must work some of the time, or they were just testing it
yeah a handful of the ppl i used to follow for jokes and general nonsense pivoted to posting mostly about politics in the wake of the election and i had to prune a lot of them. not because they werent aligned with my views but because i only want so many politics tweets in my timeline and for that id rather prioritize ppl w/ more experience talking about it and/or from marginalized groups, rather than internet jokesters-cum-pundits
