Twitter C/D

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

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.

Thank you, stet & gyac (& jfc, re: that Holocaust denier account – it's even worse than I thought).

xp and those same neo-fascists bitch about 'cancel culture' unscathed.

lol I love that the president got caught on tape asking someone to falsify an election and we’re out here like BEAN DAD. SHORT WOMEN.

i took a break for 4 days, it was so nice to not know what anyone on there was yammering about. not going to look up whatever bean woman or w/e means because really who the fuck cares?

I love slugs like this:

bean-dad-deletes-twitter-account-anti-semitic-homophobic-tweets-resurface/amp/

thats what i call news baby

can someone link to a tweet compiling the bean dad thing? I missed it and am bummed I don’t know the deets

short women seemed like your typical reach that backfired from a woke clout-chaser you see every so often, she was smart enough to lock her account after things got heated at least

bean tried to laugh it all off until they found his racist tweets lol

Runner bean now

anyone with even slight edgelord tendencies who has any sort of public profile should really set their tweets to auto delete how many examples must be made

can someone link to a tweet compiling the bean dad thing? I missed it and am bummed I don’t know the deets

his daughter wanted food and he suggested she open a can of baked beans, but she didn’t know how. he browbeat her to try to make her think scientifically about the workings of a can opener, but she was hungry and frustrated and got angry

The daughter it should be noted is 24

not only that, she was distracting him from his hobby of tweeting about the deplorable alliance between gays and jews

She was actually 9 and he let her go hungry for six hours without helping her. Because god forbid he moved away from his jigsaw puzzle for thirty seconds and actually teach her.

I confess to reading that w no foreknowledge and thought it was legit funny satirical and then got to like the last few tweets :/

its kinda funny the original story is obviously made up, like a nine year old did not try to open beans for six hours, and the guy posted it because he thought it made him seem cool and interesting

Shes 24 this is can-on

by the standards of Roderick's cancellation over very bad but obviously ironic edgelord jokes made to friends of his, every ILX moderator ever would be jailed for noise board passim

if they ever find my posts the bad ones were ironic

— br◎seph (@on3ness) January 9, 2019

that's a good tweet

Socrates was killed because he was an edgelord addicted to irony and he completely wore out his welcome in Athens. To the point they offed him and never looked back or regretted it until the people who actually knew him had passed away and all anyone knew any more was what Plato wrote about him. I gravely doubt bean dad's irony was anywhere near as intellectually excusable as that of Socrates.

thx xp

Ken Jennings podcast co-host... like a week after Jennings made an apology for also being an edgelord?

Would ilx fp socrates now and if so what does that teach us

and then ken came to his defense! ken no why youve got so much to lose

one night last January I walked from watching K3n J3nnings win the goat champs on TV in a bar to chatting to Be4n D4d at a gig before the band came on

eleven months later and bars, gigs, J3nnings, Be4n and chatting have all been #cancelled

Would ilx fp socrates now

sure. he'd get his dozen with regularity and might even accrue enough for a tempban now and then. considering what ilx is, this teaches us nothing. Even St. Francis of Assisi would get fp'ed for being "too sanctimonious".

trying to read this tweet made me feel like a journalist in the san francisco chronicle in 1969 https://t.co/vLuJ62pAEb

Just as well kenny rogers died, looking at that list sic

i read the bean dad thread this morning and am full of regret, i knew exactly where it was going and read it anyway and was angry at bean dad and myself.

anyway i enjoy watching guys like this flail around which probably makes me a jerk too. i tried 30 seconds of his music and uh no thanks so it's probably no big loss.

you'll know! I'm up for my dream job when this account cease to exist outta thin air

Bean dad: this will all blow over, i'm just gonna lay low
