Twitter C/D

I've not even heard of that story. But really, half of that exposé article doesn't prove a thing - the fact that someone uses twitter "unusually" isn't actually unusual. Nor is the fact that people make bad decisions or don't think things through. The police thing, well, it certainly used to be the case that police often didn't respond very proactively to stalking behaviour, but there have been changes to laws/protocols that make it more likely that they would respond, so I'll take that. Really the dude writing the article could've just put the thing about the IP address/home adress, because that is damning enough to place serious doubts about the veracity of Traynor's claim.

I have followed you, kelpolaris. I am also the best ILXor to follow in return, obviously. @sickmouthy.

As the comments suggest, the bogus "Oh you can trace an IP address to a single house" might just be a discreet smokescreen for the scenario where he recognises the IP address because his friend comments on his blog.

That is also true. Ah well. I shall go back to having no opinion on this thing I have never heard of before.

the fact that someone uses twitter "unusually" isn't actually unusual.

it is pretty unusual that he would repeatedly, as in more than once a day, keep following random accounts, when he was getting abusive messages.

the irish police wouldn't have a great reputation, especially with this kind of thing, but again, surely the extent of that sort of abuse would be enough for them to step in?

i mean, you'd have the fucking book thrown at you in court for what that stalker is alleged to have done, hence why wouldn't the police get involved? you'd surely be jailed, on a number of counts?

never had to post about the gardai as "localgarda" before

Price drop to US$36/yr (also US$5/mth), so I have ended up on app.net

@elmo_argonaut

it's me

i have set up on tent.io. if this thing flies I'll maybe set it up to peer with ilxor.com too

Oh no, 'peer' is a verb now (in the non-visual sense)?

such twitter pride when, after i followed kurt cobain quotes, kurt cobain quotes tweeted my bio info as a kurt cobain quote.

did twitter just break for anyone else? showing up as a page with a column of text down the left side, won't let me sign out

we're on other twitter

I'm on twooter

infiltrated by chinese hackers

i only post to weird twitter

just to go back to the story up thread lol you cannot "trace an IP" to someone's address. Internet do not work that way! if you took that IP to the ISP that supplied it with a warrant? they may then hand over user info. but it's not like fucking Hackers or CSI.

Yeah, he's definitely glossing over something there. Maybe he doxxed them

He was getting trolled off Twitter as well, though, in places where you can trace IP addresses. Then you could cross-match them with other non-troll incoming IP addresses, such as friendly communications from his friend, the troll's dad.

Does anyone know if the Twitter API lets clients use the new(ish) "search tweets of people you follow" function? It's the only reason to use the Twitter website, I think.

REAL MATURE GUYS

@realDonaldTrump @Lord_Sugar Unlike yours, my financials are phenomenal.

Would be a good early 90s rap lyric.

@lenadunham
Ask my dad's friend Bob RT @crousselle what the hell happened to you as a child that made you like this?

someone explain to me the point of 'favoriting' someone else's tweets -- like people will favorite mine (and sometimes also retweet, sometimes not, sometimes retweet and not favorite), but i just retweet things i like and never favorite them, should i feel like a dick? or is it just a way of bookmarking stuff so that it's easy to find later?

it's really easy to accidentally favorite things on the phone, happens to me a lot.

more like bookmarking ime, but i'm sure diff ppl use it for diff reasons

yeah the bookmark thing I guess

its a way to acknowledge that you like a tweet without broadcasting it to all your followers. i favorite any tweet i particularly like but i only retweet if the tone & content still make sense in the context of my own feed

a fav can be a a way to say 'i like this,' a wink, a nod, a high-five, a gesture of agreement or support, or just an acknowledgement of when someone @replies to you directly

i don't think of favorites as bookmarks, i just like awarding stars to ppl

right yeah i guess it can be a private signal thing, which is how i tended to take it (stupid question but can other people see your favorites? i haven't tried)
