I can't go to YouTube now without seeing video thumbnails like this everywhere
i think i'd like to have one of those youtube channels where every video thumbnail is this bullshit pic.twitter.com/2ErC5by2FF— rob whisman (@robwhisman) May 25, 2016

i have come to the realization that this website sucks
― marcos, Thursday, 22 June 2017 14:00 (six years ago) link
either that or i need to do a purge and follow different people
I find it useful for keeping up with certain things professionally and otherwise. But over the last year its becoming harder to use, the main problem is people retweeting bad people and it makes me feel on edge. It seemed to start with Trump but now its just any random person who thinks homeless people should be deported or something.
People retweeting this stuff to say "look at this bad person". Maybe I'm too much wanting to live in a fluffy world but I'm finding it more unpleasant to use because of this. I'm private, I don't follow many people, none of the people I follow are irritating per se. I know i can switch off the retweets but I learn about good dev stuff from retweets

i enjoy my current twitter feed bubble of former SA forums jokesters and video game leftists and a couple ppl who just post architecture photos and sci-fi art. in the current climate it's really easy to end up with a feed that's like 90% politics even if that's not what you want out of the site.

truth
― lag∞n, Thursday, 22 June 2017 15:27 (six years ago) link
my feed has been bumming me out a lot. leftist twitter is bad. my professional feed stuff, which was why i first signed up for twitter in the first place, is 50% social justice wokeness competition and self-congratulating and 50% the same boring redundant shit my field has been talking about for the past 10 years. basketball twitter and local city/community stuff the only saving grace for me right now
― marcos, Thursday, 22 June 2017 15:31 (six years ago) link
In a way its not just twitter its everywhere! I was in Otley last week and a woman said to me "did you hear what Trump said about Comey said about Trump said about".
And its inescapable and relentless! People retweeting what other people said about Trump or someone, but even if you don't have twitter people just rebroadcast what Trump or someone else did. Why are the people of Otley or anywhere else going on about this stuff , its become impossible to get the bus without headphones!

i have 'trump' on my muted words list, it's been helpful. also 'chapo'
― ciderpress, Thursday, 22 June 2017 16:05 (six years ago) link
I didnt know you could do that, thanks!
― anvil, Thursday, 22 June 2017 16:08 (six years ago) link
ppl start talking unprompted abt trump mid sentence we all have trump on the brain, our nation is truly cursed
― lag∞n, Thursday, 22 June 2017 16:09 (six years ago) link
xp yeah they let you mute terms from your entire feed now, it used to just be for notifications.

― lag∞n, Thursday, 22 June 2017 16:12 (six years ago) link

― marcos, Thursday, 22 June 2017 16:30 (six years ago) link
hey we all cant bat 1000
whats ur handle marcos
yea the negatives are that 1) they are often dicks; 2) their jokes/digs can be bad and/or opaque; 3) their politics are "trenchant". i also don't care about the podcast fwiw it is kind of unbearable
― marcos, Thursday, 22 June 2017 16:32 (six years ago) link
i dont really pod but they cld learn to talk better imo
― lag∞n, Thursday, 22 June 2017 16:35 (six years ago) link

"gentle reminder" wld be a good one
Wow Jeff YOU CANT HANDLE THE TRUTH joeks
Funny though, without politics - or at the very least tweets about articles about politics - I'd render my own twitter experience wholly useless tbh.
I only have two ban words: starwars (from whenever the fuck the last shit film came out) and Banksy (because the number of people who think they are rt'ing Banksy while rt'ing some fan tweet thing is more annoying than Banksy at this point). Much more a people banner/muter tbh (this list runs in the dozens).

I've never seen this, and have no clue what it means.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Thursday, 22 June 2017 17:01 (six years ago) link
i have muted the word trump and that's it.
i am going to try to get more heavily into muting in the future
― -_- (jim in vancouver), Thursday, 22 June 2017 17:01 (six years ago) link
RT[^RT]+RT mutes retweet chains, which I guess isn't relevant anymore since not many people use old style RT's.
