Twitter C/D

I wasn't citing that in disapproval :)

So what they are doing is actually bumping racist hashtags AND subjecting us to more of those inexplicable gifs?

the posts get promoted, they make less sense (and clog up the space for anyone interested in making functional use of the hashtag), fewer people who see them mimic the behavior or redirect it into their own networks - it's like gresham's law but for when you actually want the good money to be driven out by the bad

so Twitter puts the little blue notification for on the app icon if there are any new tweets in your timeline, huh. that's helpful

do you have any new tweets right now

I would like for there to be a blue notification dot on the little birdie icon when someone has replied to me or rt me, only then

the kpop kids have shown us all how to harness the forces of stan culture for good:

OPERATION #BLUEFALL.
8AM PST.

FUCK THAT PRIDEFALL SHIT, LETS TAKE IT & MAKE IT MORAL. THIS PRIDE MONTH. LETS FUCKING GO.

RT & QUOTE WITH YOUR LOCAL @‘S. WE ARE BLUEING OUT THEIR SOCIAL MEDIA WITH THEIR OFFICERS BRUTALITY.

classic now for constantly fucking w trump

I liked a tweet a couple of weeks ago & it is having significant good irl consequences so I'm all mixed up about it.

you guys it's so much worse than any of us thought... I clicked a tweet in a thread and swear to god it took me to a place with many more tweets... tens of thousands of tweets, and each one more horrifying than the last. a veritable living nightmare. i fear that with these reserves at hand, tweets will soon outnumber posts by an insurmountable margin

they can't get in through the holes in the threads, those are one-way

homie what set you from

where do you go for this circle of your closest twitter friends??

tens of thousands of tweets

My childhood is tweets upon tweets upon tweets upon tweets.

a thread

A friend who’s fully into the covid conspiracies sent me this post that says Captain America predicted the coronavirus outbreak in 2011, and while its obviously bs, I started fixating on that circled image on the right. pic.twitter.com/N4XywDTZEx

I'll make out just fine if this is so, but can you not play embedded Twitter videos on ILX or third-party sites now, or is there a glitch in my browser? I can still play YouTubes.

that's just what they want you to think

I understand OPs not liking to be tagged in threaded replies that aren't directed at them, but get annoyed that this is perpetually framed as a rudeness/etiquette issue as opposed to a shitty interface issue.

when you think about it its there own fault for tweeting

I realise Twitter world cups are anathema to some, but in July, Tom Ewing will be running one on tracks from 1990 and is looking for nominations this week. Here's the current list of nominations:

If any of you are into such things, bung @peoples_pop a tweet with a couple of nominations. Only one of them can be a UK Top 40 hit, but neither has to be. Dance music and hiphop very under-represented at the moment!

this has also happened to me. i only ever see twitter videos here tho (twitter anything really) so i thought it was maybe an ilx thing but idk

Linehan banned from Twitter, goes whining to Mumsnet at 3am and gets TERFed off there too...

... and, as if that wasn't enough, there's women popping up now saying he's been sending them dick pics. He's lost it.

Dick pic thing apparently a hoax, no need to be making up stuff about him, there's plenty to go on already!

Ah right, I've fallen victim to Twittershite, curses.

Ha,so glad he's gotten the heave ho from twitter,total fucking cunt

He's demented.

Love that mumsnet terfs got mad at him for posting in their feminism forum as a man

It's a promising idea for a sitcom, writer has a minor disagreement on Twitter about something, obsesses about it and ends up destroying his life just because he can't bear to be wrong once. Pretty dark sitcom, in the upside the wage bill for actors would decrease as the show progressed.

might send it to him, see what he thinks

Fucking delighted for him. He can fuck off to Parler with the rest of them.

it is with a heavy heart that i must announce that the celebs are at it again

Ah, the good old days.

flawless

did they change what gets included in the number of RTs? i'm suddenly seeing tweets with like 5x more RTs than likes. mainly on ratio'd tweets though. it's messing up my frame of reference. this is extremely important

either they're now including replies to RTs as RTs or they're including quote tweets as RTs and they weren't before? that would make sense i guess

The latter, I understand

Any action to bring about the death of the ratio is of course good, in itself and as a step towards the death of Twitter.

...theres a new ratio in town

Damn, that’s impressive

actually love too log on and everyone’s talking about shredded cheese and i i have no idea why

only way my wife can eat fajitas

correct analysis:

"the ratio," in the classic sense, is a worn out cliche but ever since they started counting quote tweets youre now capable of seeing a whole new form of it pic.twitter.com/r8h0yvgyad
