this reminds me I've been looking fwd to a lag∞n breakdown of: http://www.playboy.com/articles/why-stealing-jokes-on-social-media-is-a-bigger-deal-than-you-think

oh god the joke stealing stuff is so annoying
― flopson, Wednesday, 27 May 2015 23:03 (eight years ago) link
i mean the incessant accusations, not the actual theft
somebody (im assuming from weird twitter) C+P'd that entire article to medium, lol
― Keith Mozart (D-40), Wednesday, 27 May 2015 23:07 (eight years ago) link
which is good bc for some reason when i try to google that article it never comes up in search results .. playboy has terrible SEO lol
― Keith Mozart (D-40), Wednesday, 27 May 2015 23:08 (eight years ago) link
that ppl can make a living tweeting jokes -- their own or others' -- is a twist of late-stage capitalism i was not expecting
― mookieproof, Wednesday, 27 May 2015 23:10 (eight years ago) link
found another example of ppl having a negative experience with twitter lol

if ur directing a complaint @ their account using it like customer service fine
I'd been having months of problems with ACA health insurance bureaucratic nonsense until l started tweeting at @coveredca. Everything was cleared up in a week afterward.
I hate having to yell like that, but it did work.
― Elvis Telecom, Thursday, 28 May 2015 01:41 (eight years ago) link
i think it's ridiculous that major corporations believe twitter complaints are much more important than traditional customer service but as long as they do i will use whatever venue works

“Lately I’ve been posting for different apps, and it can range from anywhere from $500 - $1,000 per post — it’s awesome,” Asa said. “I actually did an app tweet last week and I ended up getting the app 20,000 downloads off one tweet.”
lol next level wld be to then employ bots to download the app

oh another thing i don't like about twitter is when someone you are cottoning to as a person worthy of respect and admiration tweets something that can't be overlooked for its dumbness and you're like, dammit, i wanted you to be cool

Counterpoint: Cheryl Lynn just called out Anita Baker on twitter over some seemingly petty shit and got blocked by her. It is now forever classic.
― tsrobodo, Thursday, 28 May 2015 06:19 (eight years ago) link
Twitter is where everybody can get petty it's great

gonna follow a bunch of people back soon but man it's nice being weaned off the constant updates.

it is definitely like the modern day idiot box - you just have to be able to switch it off - everything becomes equally hysterical and irritating. i only really read it at work (less boring than work) with the odd tweet when at home.

opting out of twitter from jump continues to feel like the right call for my life
― like a giraffe of nah (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 9 June 2015 16:10 (eight years ago) link
there are some really good things about it too - it brings me closer to communities of people talking about things i'm interested in - or allows me to discover knowledge on more particular interests, but it is hard to fence off the useful info and stop everything else crashing in

i love tweets and retweets

just a few months into having a twitter account but i am still finding it a useful networking tool in my field. my unfiltered feed is 60% worthless though, i find it more useful to check in on individuals i like
― marcos, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 17:06 (eight years ago) link
Mute the 60% that sucks if you don't want to get hit with the guilt of an unfollow
― 龜, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 17:11 (eight years ago) link
feels great to unfollow
― tender is the late-night daypart (schlump), Tuesday, 9 June 2015 17:13 (eight years ago) link
empowering
also if somebody notices it's happens in a kind of neurotic shame-zone dedicated to monitoring one's own popularity & so you know it's hard to really casually mention you noticed
― tender is the late-night daypart (schlump), Tuesday, 9 June 2015 17:14 (eight years ago) link
i've had *enough* conversations about unfollowing in my life
