twitter in browser (chrome) problem: when people post screenshots of tweets, pics are too small to see text and there's no way to open just the pic in another tab. have to zoom in like an idiot. any workaround?
― flopson, Sunday, 4 September 2016 15:23 (seven years ago) link

― lag∞n, Sunday, 4 September 2016 17:01 (seven years ago) link

this is a good twitter

I think the thing that ultimately keeps me off twitter is how public it is. But the format of conversations also annoys the shit out of me.

had my first moderately successful tweet yesterday, only to find someone else who made the exact same tweet hours later with 5x the RTs/favs of me :'(
gave you a fav, hope it helped

Like occasionally I come up with semi-pithy shit to say and put it on facebook and get a lot of likes and I think "I could get fifty times the adrenaline hits on twitter!" But it's so not worth risking harassment, my job etc.
― the last famous person you were surprised to discover was actually (man alive), Monday, 12 September 2016 15:03 (seven years ago) link
just take an anonymous handle

naw facebook likes are common and of low value
― lag∞n, Monday, 12 September 2016 15:11 (seven years ago) link
i'm on twitter but i'm just kind of half in, half not, i think of shit to tweet a lot but ultimately i just think "whats the point", same w/ facebook
nicholson baker followed me today though so that made me happy. he's new to twitter and is just following everyone who follows him but i dont really care
― marcos, Monday, 12 September 2016 15:16 (seven years ago) link
haha likewise! I am back to using twitter again, I follow interesting ppl and it's fun
definitely recommend ignoring all the numbers tho

thx bb

if you are used to seeing certain numbers on instagram then twitter numbers are kinda small fry comparatively and can be depresso if you care about that sort of thing
― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Monday, 12 September 2016 15:49 (seven years ago) link
radio producers never tire of pointing out that social media managers who make more money than them get excited about retweets in the hundreds range while a middling radio show can have, say, several million listeners... per day
― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Monday, 12 September 2016 15:51 (seven years ago) link
yeah but how many rebroadcasts do they get
― lag∞n, Monday, 12 September 2016 15:53 (seven years ago) link
need a definitive listen to fave ratio1 listen != 1 fave
― dr. mercurio arboria (mh 😏), Monday, 12 September 2016 15:56 (seven years ago) link
the closest equivalent would probably be the bullshit "impressions" number that gets thrown around but that's a simple calculation of followers who may have scrolled past it in their timelines afaik
― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Monday, 12 September 2016 15:58 (seven years ago) link
radio has a captive audience, what if u were forced to read twitter and RT stuff 45 mins twice a day
who is marcos on twitter
― flopson, Monday, 12 September 2016 15:58 (seven years ago) link
kinda captive but kinda not? partic in 2016? in any case even if you consider that many ppl are doing other things while listening to the radio - shopping, building a house, doing the dishes, driving - there is a pretty strong case that the attention is more focused, more sustained, and results in more loyalty than scrolling past one tweet among many
― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Monday, 12 September 2016 16:01 (seven years ago) link
i mean, you have to be listening to something in the car, radio is the default and most ppl are lazy and still in 2016 not that good at technology
also whenever i listen to the radio they just talk about twitter
― flopson, Monday, 12 September 2016 16:04 (seven years ago) link
there's a big wall in every room that has tweets just scrolling on by
twitter's "important/interesting tweets at the top, no chronological view of all tweets from people you follow" experiments are kind of orthagonal to radio? you get a snapshot of content from when you look at it but it's variable depending on when you happen to glance
do you guys use tweet markers or w/e that let you start reading where you left off or just dive into the recent tweets and scroll backward until you lose interest?
― dr. mercurio arboria (mh 😏), Monday, 12 September 2016 16:07 (seven years ago) link
the default twitter client makes it basically impossible. i tried to use tweetbot but ultimately it just sucked too much
― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Monday, 12 September 2016 16:14 (seven years ago) link
I still enjoy Twitter and am on it a lot. I just don't use the Twitter homepage or app, which both are complete crap. I want my Tl chronological, without suggestions, adds, "top tweets" and all that bullshit. Tweetbot for me on iOS and Mac.
Tweetbot remembers where I was catching up in my Tl, which works as a marker (across platforms, too).
Recently I've started deleting old convos and tweets, every week or so. I think of it as being in a bar, having a convo. If I were to go into the bar the next day my words of the day before won't still be echoing there either (one hopes). And this works for me. Do you guys delete?
― Le Bateau Ivre, Monday, 12 September 2016 16:14 (seven years ago) link
I follow too many ppl to read all the tweets. just tap in, read the feed till i feel nauseous, check out what my fav accounts tweeted in the last few days. don't really care about chronological or algorithmic
― flopson, Monday, 12 September 2016 16:18 (seven years ago) link
tweetbot here, too. it takes a second if I've switched from phone to computer to sync where I left off but works pretty well
― dr. mercurio arboria (mh 😏), Monday, 12 September 2016 16:18 (seven years ago) link
i make no attempt to read all the tweets lol guys embrace the cascade
― lag∞n, Monday, 12 September 2016 16:20 (seven years ago) link
or just dive into the recent tweets and scroll backward until you lose interest?
yea thats what i do
― marcos, Monday, 12 September 2016 16:21 (seven years ago) link
embrace the cascade
yea
there are too many tweets to read them all
― marcos, Monday, 12 September 2016 16:22 (seven years ago) link
I don't follow enough ppl I guess!
― dr. mercurio arboria (mh 😏), Monday, 12 September 2016 16:25 (seven years ago) link
follow at least 700 imo
― lag∞n, Monday, 12 September 2016 16:26 (seven years ago) link
ive prob said this on here before but one thing that made twitter way better for me was i unfollowed almost all organizations and now mostly only follow actual people
