Twitter C/D

This is one of those cases where I wonder why some people get on Twitter in the first place. I don't know what kind of harassment went on here and I definitely don't care about Steven Universe gem shipping but when you join Twitter and don't protect your tweets, to a degree, you are signing up to be a public figure. I don't understand how people don't get this in 2016.

the SV idea of free speech isn't interesting, it's stupid. It's an ignorant, ahistorical version of free expression that isn't even internally consistent.

back on the job folks sry for any inconvenience

never leave us again

accurate

some parts very in character, many parts accurate

why am i banned by @sarahjeong

"why am i banned by @x" is a common question. oh well!

sad!

lol that's a great article

i encounter ppl ive never interacted with who have me banned all the time, p sure im on some list

its rude imo

john podhoretz got bent out of shape over it, a mark in its favor

with intraleft factionalism as it is, i've been caught up in a few blocklists, yeah. i think the only person to have blocked me outright is john aravosis?

i was def on a list when i used twitter

anyway twitter is bad, so are pieces that read like a collection of tweets

twitter is actually good but as a white guy i can see how i may have a privileged view of it

nba twitter is p fun.

music twitter is not great, the convos seem to get lost and are hard to follow and fragmented. kInda sad cos that seems to be where everyone is talking now.

I am good at Twitter and I am nice and I'm on no block lists.

adding u to a blocklist

idek how i got on a blocklist except i like to start shit and tell truths

some of them are auto like everyone who follows x account will be blocked which seems dum cause what abt hate following

how do i follow more people who aren't bad

academics and people in my field are mostly boring. weird twitter smells bad. who is fun. i like chuck tingle.

yeah i'm blocked by chu and i never interacted with him, i assume bc i follow felix and matt bruenig (rip) and so forth xps

oh bruenig is back as of a few hours ago, actually. things move fast on twitter com

fun ones show me the way @mapslc

i unfollowed mrs brueing cause she was RTing ppl begging for mr to return and it was cloggin up my feed

there def needs to be a feature where if someone you follow retweets more than 2 tweets in like a 5 minute span you don't see it

u have that feature called eyelids bro?

i guess it's cool that mr returned? i don't understand why it took everyone begging tho

these millennials -- so thirsty

u have that feature called eyelids bro?

i don't understand. how u gonna cop nudes from amateur hour sticking to ilm

lagwn what are your twitter methods?? i see u RT cool shit that has like no traction or audience. how u find??

idk its just like from my feed

would you ask kfc for the secret recipe

i need to follow more """nobodies""" i think, too much media

ya media ppl cn be p tedious

would i still know what's happening in the world if i autoblocked anyone who ever RT'd 'darth'? i think i would

one tactic i use is when there's an extremely viral tweet that everybody RTs but the actual account who posted it only has a handful of followers- i'll follow them and see what their life is like. been connected to some interesting average joes/janes that way as well as people who are very different than me culturally, etc- appreciating that is what i used to like about the internet but can be harder when everything is centralized on all these different social media hubs

what are r|t|c and goole on twitter

web twitter is the most broken internet thing i use on the regular my lord

yeah the platform diffs are egregious. the app on ipad (phone too? idk) gives you push notifications when e.g. a poll closes, there's no way to know otherwise. and it doesn't do this in your mentions. or on android, at all.

I prob wouldn't Twitter at all anymore if it weren't for Tweetbot

i wish they could save and or sync how far back in your timeline you are, between app/browser/etc- I like to stay caught up and it seems like that feature should be easy (?)

tweetbot does that, obv not for browser but between devices

don't use twitter in browser it's bad

its so bad

i use it

i use it constantly
