Twitter C/D

cant wait to read your nyt oped about being oppressed

did u know u cant even fave tweets when youre on twitter timeout smh

i think the real question is, have you learned your lesson?

honestly ive tweeted things like that at politicians dozens of times and only been temp banned two or three times so i mean

a couple of other times ive gotten a notification that some account features were disabled but i couldnt figure out what they were

there should be some sort of forgiveness plan for when the person really does deserve it

Does Twitter realize that Fleets is the name of the best selling pre-packaged OTC enema in the world?

this is actually good

raise your game, lag∞n

"im not owned! im not owned!!", i continue to insist as i slowly shrink and transform into a corn cob

RIP dril. He had a good run.

wha happen

normie extremist jake tapper quoting dril as sartre on twitter is proof that the moment has passed

Are normie extremists bad?

the moment will never pass

imo dril didn't RIP when tapper did that, he ascended a la Elijah

for the rec, i wasnt commenting on dril being over, just the corncob meme

I wonder if the corncob meme exists outside of dril, like it became so common people just know it from second hand references

*gangster bugs bunny t-shirt* i am NOT being owned.

rubbernecking these deranged lunatics is really the only good thing left about twitter

getting sucked into this genre

no kink shaming

oh I must have forgotten to link from that first post last week

One of the most stunning exchanges I've ever seen on here, branching out into multiple, simultaneous threads, quote tweets, etc. Can't capture it all, but here are some of the main branches. Politics twitter has nothing on engineering twitter. If you've got a few min, be amazed. pic.twitter.com/JZVZoCw3zX

this comic is a clever allusion to the Republican party’s block of a $2000 direct payment proposal by congressional Democrats. if you don’t see it it’s because it’s very subtle https://t.co/GqEHZAAE19

twitter as posted by this^ asshole? no thanks

seriously why are you back here, literally everyone hates you. go away!

Boo hoo hoo

literally everyone hates you

geez, you sure do hate on the slightest provocation. but don't drag 'literally everyone' into this, because I think I'm literally someone and I haven't found any compelling reason to hate BDA.

you two choads absolutely deserve each other

merry christmas, map!

is this gabbneb

'Big" Don is not gab-nebbish enough to be a gabbneb visitation. He hasn't displayed any distinctive hallmarks of Mr. I Went to a More Prestigious University Than Thou. He's just a more centrist and conventional liberal than ilx is used to seeing show up around here. He's still to the left of Dandy Don Wiener, in terms of placement on the spectrum. ILX has just become less tolerant, more reflexive, and more dismissive than it used to be.

a fun new twitter development is lefties with a few thousand followers thinking that they’re better at comedy than mike schur

heavens

i said it was fun

wish i could opt out of people retweeting themselves (and still see when they retweet others)

Maybe Big Don is the final evolution of Dandy Don. Either way I don't hate either of them though you'd think I would.

lol who rt theirself, i've only seen that a few times

TS: People who retweet themselves vs. people who excelsior themselves

dandy don usually lays back a little bit more in my experience.

who is this Don Winslow character and why doesn't he get a life instead of making these elaborate anti Trump videos that chumps like John Cusack insist on retweeting everywhere

oh I answered the question myself, he is a crime novelist. he should still get a life.

dandydonweiner wouldn’t be so thirsty for centrist Democrats

Lmao

ever wondered how jordan uhl and ken klippenstein maintain incredibly smooth skin and improbably high follow counts? its a simple routine. every friday they meet up, and piss on each others faces for 1 hour

I don't have a Twitter account and only read the tweets that get posted to this here borad, but I've been wondering about their moderation policy lately and I'm not sure I get why, say, Varg Vikernes can get away with saying, well, exactly what you'd expect (we talked about this a bit in the apposite ILM thread).

Similarly, why are this tweet and the ensuing replies deemed acceptable? Would I get banned if I retorted 'fuck you and your little racist isle?'

The Romanian benefits train will now have to wait 5 years to claim ££ if it stops in Brexit Britain.

This is the first day for almost 30 years where the UK is no longer a 'soft touch' for welfare tourism.

And I'm aware that this is nothing compared to the heinous shit other minorities have to put up with.

You can dig and dig into the accounts of these people and they people they follow and you just never reach the bottom. It’s like a mirror universe full of the most awful people congratulating themselves and abusing emojis.

Fucking Twitter, fuck the people behind those accounts. Have reported them all for you, for what little it will do.

Twitter would be dead if they actually enforced their own guidelines. I reported an account with a handle that outright denied the Holocaust (and was full of imagery you’d expect) several times, it took more than a year before I finally got a report saying that it had been actioned. It’s a fucking cesspool, reported the cunt too fwiw

they seem to be quite fast at cracking down on harmless lefty shitposter parody accounts and such like going by the number of them that get banned or their use restricted on a weekly basis, but neo-fascists can often let hundreds of flowers bloom before any action is taken against them. I sometimes wonder if some of these accounts are GCHQ bots tbh.
