Twitter C/D

kinda dont get ppl who are like 'damn gotta get off twitter for my sanity' like what wellsprings of meaning and joy are you failing to tap into cuz you were online posting your still gonna be depressed when you log off

can’t even begin to tell you how good quitting twitter has been for my mental health but i guess i’m just regular depressed instead of having my depression and anxiety constantly activated by a feed of bullshit, really no difference

unless you’re talking about people who constantly talk about quitting twitter but never do, in which case: otm

High five for logging off, I haven’t been on at all for three months and that was just a one-day check in to make sure I was in touch with some folks about my birthday party.

emphasis on /some/ apparently

ahem

wow, rude

fun party btw silby

oh, my delegate was there, continue as we were

La goon, how would someone with a private account understand Twitter better than those of us who once got a like from @infowars? #thatsright #imsayingit #hashtag

is infowars itself actually good at twitter though, or just their personalities

that britisher basement-dweller guy seems to be their twitter pinnacle

I dunno, I don't follow it.

Ive never followed political stuff or read or got into any discussions/debates (the short form seems entirely the wrong format for that), and the idea of even thinking about what Kanye thinks is not only alien to me, but counter-productive.

It seems to me that following that kind of stuff, combined with twitters 'endlessness' is hitting same part of brain as eg fox viewers watching endlessly and getting more riled, a form of radicalization (not necessarily in any direction but how that affects perception).

eel like kanye going maga is the biggest clusterfuck in the history of the platform and is on a very deep level 100% caused by it

isn’t it caused by him watching alt right videos on YouTube? he doesn’t even follow anyone on twitter

kanye uses lists

more like kan'tye amirite

All this talk about how quitting Twitter was the best thing you ever did, you guys must’ve been following some depressing-as-fuck people.

Journalists mainly :(

That would definitely explain it.

librarians

academics

on a long enough timeline most people become depressing-as-fuck people

twitter is def psychologically agitating, its just a lot of info/opinion to be exposed to

I just started worrying about far too wide a swath of people; I can’t do anything to ensure the safety or well-being of random strangers having a bad time and that would make me very agitated.

Seems like a stable platform:

Twitter says all 336 million users should change their passwords

lol

lagoon as a twitter expert what's your take on this password kerfuffle?

I'm not lagoon but this is a best practices move imo, it doesn't sound like anything was compromised

passwords are dumb we shd all just trust each other

Once again the third day's take on the first day *doffs cap*

twitter is okay and all but fuck that 'Moments' section contains mostly garbage.

i used the password ilx randomly generated for me for every account, for like 5 years

Twitter is fine you just have to find your pocket

i want more followers on twitter. specifically, i want 300 followers. been stuck in the mid 250s forever, finally cracking a stable 280 but it's so slow

i used the password ilx randomly generated for me for every account, for like 5 years

I've got 222 followers, which is fine. If I ever say anything exciting, they can RT it out into the world.

you guys know the ilx generates passwords are available to premium tier ilx subscribers right

I spent a day typing them up myself

my ilx passwords always sound like wonderful would-be words. an old expired one was 'osnomoad', loved that one

I only use passwords that are artisanally generated by a pubescent girl.

I should get into that line of work. I’ve got all these dice just sitting around.

exactly

enjoying the people who have been clowning the krassenstein bros

for anyone unfamiliar -- I wasn't -- they're a couple grifters who originally had "fan" accounts for justin bieber and a couple others and begged for retweets, and they've pivoted those accounts under their own names and are now grifting "the resistance" for retweets

also, they like cryptocurrency

pretty good

maybe "grifter" is a little too generous, these guys aren't really bright enough to come up with a grift

Curt Schilling getting dragged = Good Twitter

The level of anger and vitriol the left will spew will be in direct proportion to just how perfect this decision is. https://t.co/6qjCJx91wC
