Its rather surprising to me that these allegations haven't popped up again since 2015 or so. How this guy weathered metoo is beyond me. I'm automatically inclined to completely believe anything anyone says against him because look at his fucking hair and his smile.

I see Price’s abuse brought up regularly but never with the critical mass to end him, he’s not constantly in the news so he functions like a quote a day calendar for people who read books on entrepreneurship.

Details, please. Other than reading the rare thread linked here or in a news article, I've been on a Twitter hiatus for about a month. It's been surprisingly easy.

I don't think getting twitter pwned actually hurts any of these powerful assholes' feelings, just peasants being allowed to shout at the king from a distance. Even Trump could just breeze past the legion of sick burn replies.

I think you can cyber bully Chrissy Teigen or even a Representative but once you’re Sinema/Cruz/etc. you’ve had your soul removed to the point where regular people are ants.

If you had to guess, what percentage of your followers do you think actually see any given tweet of yours? I don't know if it's 5% or 50% or what

I thought I made a pretty fire tweet about half an hour ago, but the numbers do not uhh bear that out

i find that it helps to get antagonistic with your followers and confront them on it. i do it regularly, and then it's always like my same 2 irl friends who like it and no one else, lol

last i checked, every time i compose a tweet 100% of my followers receive a text message on their phone containing the text of my tweet, so i guess 100%

Man, no more Nuzzel :/
― jaymc, Friday, 7 May 2021 03:45 (three years ago) link
Yeah, that sucks, I found it very useful. Using Twitter's search to search for only links only among people you follow can get something very vaguely similar, but it's not nearly the same.
Twitter's api is so locked down that it seems worthless, but I considered using something scraping-based like https://github.com/twintproject/twintto try to roll my own nuzzel. Seems like it should be possible to get all link-based tweets that appear more than once among friends and/or friends-of-friends like that.

This is quite a story. An established opinion newspaper man has a shitpost twitter account.
This account sent me sexualised messages about whether Mary Lou McDonald “turned me on”, the size of my arse and called me a terrorist from the month I started at the Examiner. Since then, I’ve had to go to counselling and the guards. https://t.co/aueLtHkg80— aoife moore. (@aoifegracemoore) May 6, 2021

Think this also depends on the leadership around it. Left-wing candidates will gave little support from wreckers in the bureaucracy if the party if a strong left leadership isn't in place.
These results are bad but I’m not sure more left wing candidates would have done any better. Corbyn may have held Hartlepool but hasn’t Labour’s majority been decreasing fir a years now anyway? 1/3— Chardine Taylor Stone (@ChardineTaylor) May 7, 2021

I keep tweets about how Twitter crop is gone, and while I know what this means, I can't help reading it as "my crop of sweeet tweets, all of them gone! hopefully next year's harvest will be bountiful."

Twitter is good for me lately and it’s because I follow less than 100 people most of whom are friends from real life or connections made via real life or ilx and only like two are “content creators” and I’ve disabled many people’s retweets, if you’re following 1000 accounts or more you gotta start over
