Twitter C/D

I heart u all but I don't really want a notification that 7 of u have liked a post by someone I don't follow. Is there a way to switch this new 'feature' off? Notifications settings offers some choices but not this.

i really hate it and i keep clicking 'show me less of this' to no avail

heres mw twitter setup: tweetdeck on my laptop, no twitter on my flip phone, best of both worlds

I wanna create a thread called #GifHistory. Send a gif that you want to know the backstory to and we'll try to find the original video.

this is the most useful thing i've seen on twitter in years

I saw someone say that the key to twitter is to mute people the second they annoy you in any way. I think there might be something to that.

u cld just unfollow

enh I don't follow people that bug me, but this seems to be a problem many other people have. (occasionally people I follow do RT annoying accounts, though)

muting keywords is good for me

I think I still have all my election 2016 keywords muted lol

Same.

unfollowing sometimes makes people fucking crazy. blocking too. that's why muting is the way to go

(occasionally people I follow do RT annoying accounts, though)

You can prevent a specific account's retweets from showing in your feed

I turned off all the follow notifications! I think I went through a while back to stop a few advertising bots from following me, but other than that I pay no attention to who has followed/unfollowed

The corollary is to mute people as soon as YOU annoy THEM in any way. That leaves them screaming into the void.

Ironically one of the best phrases to mute is "echo chamber"

That's a tweet

the only reason to check unfollowers is if you want to be upset

wait people check that stuff? lord. no. never.

I sometimes like to think nobody can see my tweets and it's like yelling out the back door of my home when I have an idea

i don't even know how to check that. but maura otm sometimes you unfollow and people are @ing you like 20 minutes later??

whenever ppl unfollow me im all it mustve been the constant stream of bad tweets, on a side note with twitter being so algorithmic and showing so many tweets from ppl you dont follow and so forth i wonder if it affects the feed differently to mute or unfollow, soft block is always also an option too less likely to get caught than the straight unfollow but if you are oh boy, u can try to blame the unfollow bug i guess but idk if ppl are still falling for that

how do you even know tho??

just when u go to their profile to look at all their tweets and the follows you badge isnt there, tho some ppl prob use an app which is psychotic

sometimes its a blessing tho when you notice a mutual unfollowed you cause you wanted to unfollow them but were too polite

pretty sure there's at least one third party site/app that takes a snapshot of your followers on either an interval or when you check it, and says "this person added, these people left"

pretty insane

I use muting like a timeout. Tweetbot can do 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, forever. Say @brokentoothfacebluewhat won’t shut up about daylight saving time, I mute them for a week. Especially if I generally like them otherwise.

daylight savings time is an important topic tho

some ppl are bad at discussing it properly

its important to engage with voices across the ideological spectrum

what if they have the exact same views as me but say them real bad

wld recommend a soft block

Ironically one of the best phrases to mute is "echo chamber"

Of course, on twitter dot com this would be responded to with:

irONICallY oNE of ThE BESt phRaSEs to muTE is 'EChO cHAmbER'

Haha that's a classic response

I wouldn't see it tho

a former co-worker of mine who i'm p friendly with (we aren't direct friends but share a lot of friends and always chat when we see each other) likes my tweets but doesn't follow me. absolutely psychotic

lol i just googled soft block, that's genius

isnt this just from knowyourmeme

like i’m gonna page through that whole site even if it were

They’ve banned Strange Animals and Round Boys - presumably on the basis that they were both posting copyrighted photos of wildlife. If that’s something they’re going to crack down on properly, they’re going to have their work cut out.

pretty much every gif and meme is technically violating copyright, so
