it sucks but its so good

i feel the same way about crystal meth

or maybe just the crystal method, i always get those two confused

couple of weeks on from getting twitter off my homescreen and i do not miss it at all

every now and again i'll follow a link to read some post or thread and i get a "yikes" feeling pretty quick and do an exaggerated frowny raised-eyebrows tip-toe out of there

fucks up with twitter lately, my timeline is so screwy. Seeing lots of missing tweets that were there earlier and really old tweets pop up. This has been happening for about a month here and there. Anyone else?

It's bound to be that way if you use the official app or web-twitter. It's gone haywire.

yeah it really dropped off a cliff recently

came back to look at twitter via web page after being completely off it for about half a year.

either twitter is completely fucking insane now or my metabolism for hot take intake has dropped to healthy levels or both

the site is like the movie 28 Days Later

they're screwing with the algorithmic ways to keep people on longer and it's messing up everything

it's interesting because, for me at least, there are some really basic aspects of their ui they could change to keep me on way longer. for example, it's constantly trying to get me (in some cases forcing me) to scroll back up to most recent tweets, even if i've been away from twitter for a while and would have hours of old tweets to read. once i'm back at the top, i read the new tweets, then close

I don’t think I’ve looked at twitter in the official client or on the web for more than a minute at a time forever

it’s all tweetbot on my phone

Seriously.

i don’t want any twitter apps on my phone at all so

^ gets it

I heart u all but I don't really want a notification that 7 of u have liked a post by someone I don't follow. Is there a way to switch this new 'feature' off? Notifications settings offers some choices but not this.

i really hate it and i keep clicking 'show me less of this' to no avail

heres mw twitter setup: tweetdeck on my laptop, no twitter on my flip phone, best of both worlds

I wanna create a thread called #GifHistory. Send a gif that you want to know the backstory to and we'll try to find the original video.

this is the most useful thing i've seen on twitter in years

I saw someone say that the key to twitter is to mute people the second they annoy you in any way. I think there might be something to that.

u cld just unfollow

enh I don't follow people that bug me, but this seems to be a problem many other people have. (occasionally people I follow do RT annoying accounts, though)

muting keywords is good for me

I think I still have all my election 2016 keywords muted lol

Same.

unfollowing sometimes makes people fucking crazy. blocking too. that's why muting is the way to go

(occasionally people I follow do RT annoying accounts, though)

You can prevent a specific account's retweets from showing in your feed

I turned off all the follow notifications! I think I went through a while back to stop a few advertising bots from following me, but other than that I pay no attention to who has followed/unfollowed

The corollary is to mute people as soon as YOU annoy THEM in any way. That leaves them screaming into the void.

Ironically one of the best phrases to mute is "echo chamber"

That's a tweet

the only reason to check unfollowers is if you want to be upset

wait people check that stuff? lord. no. never.

I sometimes like to think nobody can see my tweets and it's like yelling out the back door of my home when I have an idea

i don't even know how to check that. but maura otm sometimes you unfollow and people are @ing you like 20 minutes later??

whenever ppl unfollow me im all it mustve been the constant stream of bad tweets, on a side note with twitter being so algorithmic and showing so many tweets from ppl you dont follow and so forth i wonder if it affects the feed differently to mute or unfollow, soft block is always also an option too less likely to get caught than the straight unfollow but if you are oh boy, u can try to blame the unfollow bug i guess but idk if ppl are still falling for that

how do you even know tho??

just when u go to their profile to look at all their tweets and the follows you badge isnt there, tho some ppl prob use an app which is psychotic

sometimes its a blessing tho when you notice a mutual unfollowed you cause you wanted to unfollow them but were too polite

pretty sure there's at least one third party site/app that takes a snapshot of your followers on either an interval or when you check it, and says "this person added, these people left"

pretty insane

I use muting like a timeout. Tweetbot can do 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, forever. Say @brokentoothfacebluewhat won’t shut up about daylight saving time, I mute them for a week. Especially if I generally like them otherwise.

daylight savings time is an important topic tho

some ppl are bad at discussing it properly

its important to engage with voices across the ideological spectrum

what if they have the exact same views as me but say them real bad

wld recommend a soft block
