from your dumb article:

tweets are like toxic potato chips

from you:

twitter as junk food is the most common entry level ass face criticism

lol

that whole article is undermined by this idea, though:

Twitter isn’t where I made memories. On the contrary, it’s a void that sucked up opportunity to form them. There’s nothing tangible about that.

she just sounds confused.

luck for her twitter is going to shit, so it's cool, she won't need help deleting it

“she”

s/he

pulling one sentence fragment out and attempting to construct an own out of it is the most twitter ass face thing one cld do

feel like the conclusion he comes to ("now i am EXPERIENCING the splendor of nature UNINTERRUPTED") is not actually my experience with quitting twitter

rather it is what everyone tells you happens when you unlock yourself from an app or whatever

also contrasting twitter with a movie made very carefully over a long period of time feels kinda silly

he def over sold it but hes right abt the annoying things ppl do on there and that they are annoying and lame

thing is, the writer isn't even saying s/he quit twitter. it's that s/he didn't curate her timeline and now s/he just uses it a little less. it reads like a stream of conscious creative writing piece, with little coherence

let me lol at this though:

It would be foolish to denounce Twitter entirely, as that would wage war against technology (technology will always win).

investors don't even like twitter. it would wage war on nobody

i'm disappointed this wasn't a rickroll

wow the twitter jr pundit cru has imploded over "berniebro" accusations and everyone is accusing everyone of harassment of one another for like disagreeing and being super zingy and nasty on all sides.

its just children hurling fruit at one another on all sides

tempted to live tweet the very contentious first caucus in nation next week

extremely woke gamer was such a great handle and always made me laugh #rip

shit like this is so far beyond what any scifi writer cldve ever imagined https://storify.com/nkallen/a-spiral-of-confusion

wow twitter is wild

twitter is lit fam

im assuming sarah koenig got swarthvillian banned too someone needs to write a more thorough explainer

no wait thats the serial person lol sarah jeong

i thought her coverage of the snowden trial was very good but it seems she might be... bad

Tweetbot just updated over to the new corporate-mandated "heart" and I'm so disappointed.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa lmao

a friend of mine who used to be as deeply invested in these twitter beefs as i am now has been trying to remind me: "these people arguing so loudly with each and dividing into factions? don't matter to anyone but themselves. i can virtually guarantee you nobody caucusing monday knows what the fuck a bernie bro is"

omg stop laughing at me and help me understand this inconsequential gossip between likely totally awful ppl on both sides

calling in the calvary on ppl joking abt u calling in the calvary

have totally not figured out how this relates to berniebros or who the berniebros are

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CZ2iJ9WUcAIH__Q.jpghttps://pbs.twimg.com/media/CZ2iJ8gUsAEc7qE.jpg

are the berniebros from reddit if so how did ppl who also think reddit is bad end up getting banned

ugh just read that henwood thing and it just reanimated my distaste for Sarah K

deliberate mischaracterizations as a brand building strategy: since at least 2014

If Jeong was aiming to get ppl banned she would have a much longer list than a couple of irony bros. No obvious reason it would start with swarthy villain when she was mainly arguing with other people. I'm slightly more inclined to believe the Saudi theory.

Trill pikachu was actively trying to get suspended last week.

tbh berniebro >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> sanderstormtroopers

well those screenshots show her aiming to get bk juggler reported by her followers at least

tho it doesnt seem like anyone is actually saying she got the swvillian banned tbf i was just completely baselessly speculating

i dont get why saudi wld care abt some tweeter tho like dont a million ppl say a million mean things abt them on there every day

cant believe no one is with me on this important citizen journalism

i missed trill trying to get actively banned, what was going on with that?

(worst thing about suspended accounts is you can't see the history so you can't reconstruct wth drama led to it)

This is true but very few people go into detail about the way in which government-aligned PR people use their influence over the western press, which had been an area of his focus for a while. He put up a long (and broadly accurate if not particularly well written) piece about it about a week before he was banned. Given that Prince Alwaleed bin Talal has over $1bn worth of stock, i'd imagine his complaints would get picked up more quickly than Sarah Jeong's. Swarthy Villain also spends the bulk of his time deliberately annoying other people in a way that could be interpreted as harrassment so there's more plausible deniability than there would be in taking out a more serious critic. It's still a bit of a stretch though.

He was trolling a bunch people people and said "lol if i don't get suspended for this, i never will". He self-deleted and comes back all the time, though i don't know how much difference it makes.

dare yuou guyz to read this all
