Arizona Rally For Life. Amazing event. Speakers, Governor Ducey. Bishop Olmsted, Abby Johnson, Ryan Scott Bomberger. Many more. Over 100 thousand in crowd.

recently twitter has started showing me tweets of popular accounts that ppl who i follow follow. so like not pbf comics retweeting a trump tweet but multiple trump tweets when i open twitter bc pbf happens to follow trump and i happen to follow pbf. this is ruining twitter. is there something i can toggle to turn this "feature" off
― Mordy, Sunday, 26 January 2020 23:24 (four years ago) link
switch from home to latest tweets and all that nonsense goes away

if you use Twitter on a computer, log in using tweetdeck. no algorithm shit or ads.
― majority whip, majority nae nae (m bison), Sunday, 26 January 2020 23:43 (four years ago) link
maybe I just don't know how to use it, but I never liked the layout of tweedeck
'latest tweets' works for me
― Dan S, Sunday, 26 January 2020 23:51 (four years ago) link
the key to tweetdeck godhead status is using lists. i use them to create categories which spreads out the tweets horizontally. if you follow a lot of accounts, this makes it a lot easier to digest

My account got suspended because I made a jokey threat. Has anyone else had to deal with this? What is the appeal process like? I'd appreciate any advice.

i temp banned once they just made me delete the tweet idk past that sry
― lag∞n, Monday, 27 January 2020 03:00 (four years ago) link
lol @ appeal process
you delete or you stand ground and make a new account. if they don't give you the delete option then you're pretty much fucked iirc

This could help with removing unwanted things on your timeline. Unfortunately, I don't know exactly what each one does, but they have somewhat descriptive names: https://gist.github.com/IanColdwater/88b3341a7c4c0cf71c73ac56f9bd36ec

If someone likes a college basketball post and it turns up in my timeline, fine. I can deal with that.
What I hate are the notifications that say "so-and-so liked a college basketball post. Was this helpful?"

Yes I believe I talk about it upthread. Jokey threat to David Cross. Appeal was obv never reviewed by a human. Appealed several times. Still suspended. It's been months. I delete the app cause fuck these dipshits. Don't miss it at all.

I’m having a hard time remembering what the initial clusterfucks were about, but I get the impression they’re a person who has lumped criticism of work in with abuse? While criticizing others in a way that does look abusiveAlso a fair bit of the tendency to come up with takes that are completely orthogonal to what is actually going on, and taking people going “wait, what?” as a slight
― babu frik fan account (mh), Wednesday, 29 January 2020 00:15 (four years ago) link
the way I break it down is that idiot twitter people being abusive to you definitely doesn’t mean you are wrong, but it also does not mean you’re right!
