i can see the appeal of setting your followers on some feeb. like imagine for a second that ilx was all conducted on twitter, and you had a massive following, you might be tempted to quote tweet whoever your bête noir is when they reply to you with some nonsense.
it just seems like if you have that kind of platform and reach... maybe use it for something less petty?

yeah i like her too, shes a good follow, i even mostly enjoy rubbernecking her embed beefs lol
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 19 December 2018 22:14 (five years ago) link
yeah ok scanning her twitter and it's so many embedded beefs, a few is one thing but this just looks pathetic and yes, petty. people on twitter like this are so tedious

my personal preference is that if academics are going to argue all the time on twitter, which I am all for, I’d appreciate if they argued with people who were worth their time, because it might actually lead to some interesting discussion. but that is not how you amass followers and likes and rts and I’m sure they understand that

there are plenty of otherwise interesting accounts Ive just decided to unfollow because I didn’t really feel like I was learning anything other than how to make fun of dumb people

its so disturbing to look at the replies to some popular tweet and its 75% reaction gifs

i deleted the app from my phone on new year’s. it was just too much negative energy, made even people i’d otherwise like seem small and petty, overconfident in dumb moralisms. and the memes and gifs and takes are all bad

tbh wish I had the courage to delete my account and not just the app on my phone :/

do what I did - set the age on your profile to <13. you'll then have to upload a scan of your passport to unlock your account
this is too much of a faff so I've just left my account locked
― twitter is bad not good (||||||||), Saturday, 5 January 2019 00:43 (five years ago) link
plus you have to go to the trouble of obtaining a fake passport for a child in your own name, which takes fucking forever these days
― Karl Malone, Saturday, 5 January 2019 01:03 (five years ago) link
When you deactivate your account there's a month before it's properly deactivated & deleted forever. Logging in means you're back up and you have to wait another month if you want it gone. Done it many times and never made it to the end of a month.

Please do continue sharing and reminding people in the thread that empathy is important. This isn't about whether screen readers/twitter should be fixed. It's about what the experience of people is really like today and that by using characters like these you're harming people.— Kent C. Dodds (@kentcdodds) January 9, 2019
