Twitter C/D

So that’s why Buffalo Wild Wings was trending last night

buffalo wild tweets more like

man why can't this happen to the wing joints *I* follow, like Wingstop, Hooters, Bonchon etc

lol

logged in to Twitter for the first time in 5 days (i was on a camping/hiking trip) last night , and giggled for like 15 minutes laughing at lagoon’s feed/RTs :)

Is there any way to mute a picture or should I just go for “like a Renaissance painting”?

right?

It has become completely intolerable.

The timeline is essentially:

Here is a basic art / politics take on a picture of Trump.
Here is a basic take on why your basic take is basic
Look at this attention-seeking racist / gunfucker! Look at them again. And again. Make them a minor celebrity. Bark bark bark.
I see you follow Liz Bruenig - here's five random priests that she likes
Selfies of people you don't know but share two followers with

No amount of cat pictures is making it worthwhile atm.

I've been ruthless with it and unfollowed nearly 100 people/accounts from people who are repeating things and simply adding noise tbh.

By 'liking', ppl I follow - and some that don't follow me back - usually are adding very good funny things to my timeline, but only to an extent so I don't get any particular thing in a high volume so I was only somewhat aware of the Renaissance painting business. It wasn't in my face.

Takes a while but it's perfect at the moment to just get a flavour of things. The selfies from ppl I don't know is the only thing I feel like I have to tolerate.

My tl is ok because I unfollow/mute as necessary and really don’t interact with many people but the wider site is fucking awful - just endless shit and negativity. I have no idea why I spend so much time on there when it does nothing for me.

ruthless pruning is the only way. I barely saw any selfies until my friends had a baby and I can just about tolerate one baby on the tl

I get almost none of the junk ShariVari mentioned, but it might be due to my persistent disinterest in directly following political ppl

Yes, three quarters of the people I follow are journalists so I only have myself to blame really.

sometimes its amusing

Mine is only about the dead chef, dunno what Twitter you guys are looking at

its funny on twitter when u see a ton of ppl complaining about some twitter thing but not the thing

oh for sure, it's take policing. actual issue is not so important

Trying to limit myself to only follow books people and animals stuff, but politics keeps creeping back in.

twitter rules if you just follow cool people, imo

I dont follow any of the political lads on twitter, or the ones where they find a mean-spirited cunts tweet and say imagine being this cunt. Nothing wrong with that for those that want it but it doesnt brighten my day

On the political side of things , Big Nev Southall is good though, for using it in a positive way

funniest ppl on twitter dont know it imo

Muted RTs on a friend because he kept RTing the president's tweets, usually with a comment of "Whatever, Cheeto."

Now he's reposting screen grabs of the president's tweets.

oh for sure, it's take policing. actual issue is not so important

it’s so frustrating

it's not that frustrating, k3vin. you just don't want to face the important minutiae of discussion
(twenty post thread occurs)

haha I'm kidding it sucks ass

Can you really not tailor your notifications to notify you only of replies and retweets of your own tweets (plus dm's, follows/unfollows etc)? Is it true that you are forced to deal with notifications about various convos people you follow might be engaging in? That is outrageous if so. How do you guys handle this.

i have not gotten those notifications

I don't have notifications turned on at all.

xp huh... Google tells me it was part of a rollout of new features from early last year. On my phone it'll just say that I have a new notification and I have to click just to find out if the tweet(s) is even directed to me, it sucks. I do see how it drives more traffic to the site though.

the ones i can't get rid of are on my phone. the "user_X tweeted for the first time in a while, check it out!" kind. i get one every single morning. clearing it out is part of my wake up routine

I get so indignant when shit like this is forced on me. Then I remember it's a private company and they can do whatever they want, but if tens of millions of people are forced to do this kind of housecleaning on a daily basis, the ultimate toll on people's time and productivity is staggering

My notiifcations are all like this

ReactDOM and 3 others liked a photo from Barack Obama
Reactiflux and DorsetWildLife followed Artsy Open Source
Recent Tweet from Jennifer

xp Twitter is of course a policy held company, I meant "for-profit entity" or whatever

*publicly

We are announcing a wide set of changes to make it easier to find and discover what is *happening now* on Twitter - be it breaking news or events.

no u dont understand i go on twitter to read people with bad depression say "i go to chonch"

maybe I was chosen to beta test these changes, here's my review, they sukk

.@pareene would like everyone to know that he he has "been locked out of twitter and that IF people want to register their anger about that they should text Jack” and also that he thinks my tweets are all good and extremely funny

Some crypt0 dingus replied to a thread i was in a week ago and I’m still getting notifications from bots liking HIS tweet

https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2018/07/06/twitter-is-sweeping-out-fake-accounts-like-never-before-putting-user-growth-risk/?utm_term=.e371f501210e

*yawn* get back to me when the POSPOTUS has been banned

he will never be banned bc @jack is a nazi sympathizer

p much

that british tv comedy writer going nuts and thinking anyone talks about TERFs is an opportunity for him to chime in is wild

Irish. It’s beyond me why he thinks that of all the people in the world who might comment on gender issues, his contributions are necessary.

However, massive props to him and his wife for their work lobbying to repeal the 8th Amendment banning virtually all abortions for Irish women.

too late, already FP'd mh for racism

whoops phrased badly, meant to say he's written british tv comedies

i'm sure there are irish tv comedies but i've not heard of them. shame, very whimsical people

He does technically write British tv comedy

Xp!
