Twitter C/D

all evidence we have on subject suggests that no matter how grand the tweeters life they just dont like the negative replies, its human nature really

I think you can cyber bully Chrissy Teigen or even a Representative but once you’re Sinema/Cruz/etc. you’ve had your soul removed to the point where regular people are ants.

people tend to get more fussy and sensitive the more power they acquire! which is pretty funny tbf

i mean trump may not look at his replies but his being is like 90% petty grievance

People on the left are mad at me. People on thd right are mad at me. I must be doing something right!

If you had to guess, what percentage of your followers do you think actually see any given tweet of yours? I don't know if it's 5% or 50% or what

I thought I made a pretty fire tweet about half an hour ago, but the numbers do not uhh bear that out

people tend to like the bad tweets more

some consolation I suppose

i find that it helps to get antagonistic with your followers and confront them on it. i do it regularly, and then it's always like my same 2 irl friends who like it and no one else, lol

last i checked, every time i compose a tweet 100% of my followers receive a text message on their phone containing the text of my tweet, so i guess 100%

People on the left are mad at me. People on thd right are mad at me. I must be doing something right!

literally Kier Starmer

I really miss the gun emoji

Man, no more Nuzzel :/

Yeah, that sucks, I found it very useful. Using Twitter's search to search for only links only among people you follow can get something very vaguely similar, but it's not nearly the same.

Twitter's api is so locked down that it seems worthless, but I considered using something scraping-based like https://github.com/twintproject/twint
to try to roll my own nuzzel. Seems like it should be possible to get all link-based tweets that appear more than once among friends and/or friends-of-friends like that.

This is quite a story. An established opinion newspaper man has a shitpost twitter account.

This account sent me sexualised messages about whether Mary Lou McDonald “turned me on”, the size of my arse and called me a terrorist from the month I started at the Examiner. Since then, I’ve had to go to counselling and the guards. https://t.co/aueLtHkg80

Think this also depends on the leadership around it. Left-wing candidates will gave little support from wreckers in the bureaucracy if the party if a strong left leadership isn't in place.

These results are bad but I’m not sure more left wing candidates would have done any better. Corbyn may have held Hartlepool but hasn’t Labour’s majority been decreasing fir a years now anyway? 1/3

Oops wrong thread

#onethread

well it is a tweet

I know a website where everything is tweets

I keep tweets about how Twitter crop is gone, and while I know what this means, I can't help reading it as "my crop of sweeet tweets, all of them gone! hopefully next year's harvest will be bountiful."

keep *seeing tweets

Twitter is good for me lately and it’s because I follow less than 100 people most of whom are friends from real life or connections made via real life or ilx and only like two are “content creators” and I’ve disabled many people’s retweets, if you’re following 1000 accounts or more you gotta start over

i personally think its immoral for you to disable my retweets

brought to my attention today that you can make people unfollow you by blocking then unblocking them

the softblock

i personally think its immoral for you to disable my retweets

I'm considering turning yours back on

you wont regret it (you probably will regret it)

kind of amused by this:

Trending in Canada
Socrates
After Florida Representative Anthony Sabatini said Socrates would be cancelled if he was alive today, many point out that the philosopher was put on trial for corrupting the youth and executed during his own time
19.8K Tweets

Canadians know a lot of stuff huh

I’ve been following the discourse

my proposal: PRIDE 2

all the stuff different people think shouldn’t happen at pride. it’s all kink, all cops, and all corporate sponsors. the cops and the corporate sponsors are gonna be doing the nastiest shit, in plain view, in the street

this is the innovation we need to progress past our seemingly intractable disagreements

Me, descendant of pogrom victims, just before clicking on this: "Despite the dunks, surely she didn't seriously, unironically, directly compare being called 'Eve Fartlow' on Twitter to the pogroms."

Could also go on the p4k thread i guess

it's a good dunk but in no way worth amplifying her

i mean, hooray 2.8K people are now aware of her when no one should be

They call her Eve Fartlow

anyone else still waiting for their cheque from chapo? can't seem to find mine.

they're aligned and / or unofficially associated with the chapotraphouse podcast, by the looks of it. in time, i wouldn't be surprised to find the chapotraphouse podcast hosts pay their followers for engaging in these attacks

Yeah Eve Fartlow is absolutely a person I'd never heard of outside of twitter and I resent the damn app for informing me.

its a nice meltdown, she wrote an article comparing being called eve fartlow to literal torture lmao, thats what its all about baby

And she’s a music writer

https://pitchfork.com/staff/eve-barlow/

it’s not the first self-aggrandizing thing Fartlow has written or tweeted about, apparently

there’s some “these music artists who are anti-israel wouldn’t have been as popular as they are if I hadn’t written about them” tweet that blew my mind in her feed! good stuff

lmao

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E2V49FuXIAETb_9?format=jpg&name=medium

just looked at her feed and it’s 90% retweets of people saying how she’s been viciously attacked

the lady is definitely being hoisted on her own petard

Wonder if she's related to Lou Fartlow?

lmao

🖼

Tell us more about "the Jews"please.

She’s a former deputy editor of NME and it looks like pfork hasn’t used her as a freelance in two years.
