Probably the best part about twitter is that when you're feeling sad you can go on and find other people who are also feeling sad but who have thousands or tens of thousands of more followers than you and that makes you feel better because having a lot of twitter followers is supposed to help you feel less sad but for those people it didn't work

wish you could turn people down
― Pic Verry (mattresslessness), Tuesday, 31 March 2015 20:28 (nine years ago) link
for what
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Tuesday, 31 March 2015 20:34 (nine years ago) link
i just mean halfway between full follow and mute, like having a volume knob for everyone that corresponds to frequency or something
― Pic Verry (mattresslessness), Tuesday, 31 March 2015 20:38 (nine years ago) link
u cld have a thing where for certain ppl u only see their more popular tweets
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 31 March 2015 20:39 (nine years ago) link
Yeah that would be a good addition
The other thing twitter needs is to incorporate favstar functionality
― 龜, Tuesday, 31 March 2015 20:41 (nine years ago) link
like facebook does? lol
― mh, Tuesday, 31 March 2015 20:41 (nine years ago) link
twitter would be good if you could fp ppl from it

― Pic Verry (mattresslessness), Tuesday, 31 March 2015 20:45 (nine years ago) link
having lots of followers would suck

Muting retweets and hashtags has made the usability go way up. (Tweetbot does this, don't know about the regular twitter client)

followed you!, & i'm filmclubbristol, i am not useful on twitter, just #fyi
& i feel like a judiciously controlled feed is probably in some ways desirable but i don't mind the sprawl, i don't think, feel like the design is compatible with a kind of human scanning frequency learned from personal ads & telephone books, & that in some ways calibrating the frequency or visibility of somebody would just deny me the simple periodic pleasure of unfollowing, something that makes me feel like i'm truly exercising control in my life, being firm, putting a foot down. it's meant to be kind of messy, i think. neil hagery just got more successfully aphoristic on twitter but for a long time he was really into the messy transparent language angle, i don't mind twitter feeling like scanning a radio dial
― tender is the late-night daypart (schlump), Tuesday, 31 March 2015 23:12 (nine years ago) link
It totally is radio dial.
Thanks, followed back - if you all want to know my struggles in watching the world upside down (otherwise known as yoga), random lines of poetry and novels I'm reading (that I then structure into my commentaries on my reading at ILB), live Columbo commentary (Saturdays at around 12pm GMT) and re-tweeting lines from that Finnegans Wake account.
Well, then I'm yer bot.

ok "beloved" is maybe a stretch but you get the idea
― gwyneth anger (patron sailor), Wednesday, 1 April 2015 20:43 (nine years ago) link
No "beloved" is spot on and maybe even understating it. Miss you boo

I like your tweets, keep it up

Made my return to Twitter after (1) learning how to mute people and (2) wanting to escape the raccoon shitposting

Twitter is no good when you are a broken misanthrope, even if they made a twitter for broken misanthropes it would be equally as worthless a pile of fucking dogshite.

Due to the Nakatomi Corporation's legacy of greed around the globe, they are about to be taught a lesson in the real use of Twitter.
