IIRC, someone here (Mike, maybe) predicted that Twitter would quickly shutter their generous media uploads. It appears that’s happened. Try copying an image from a browser tab (“Copy Image”) then pasting it into a tweet. It now pastes the URL rather than the image.

It's been switching over to For You quite a bit too, very stupid

I don't engage at all on twitter, just read the posts, and the app doesn't default to a choice for me, it stays with what I pick
I've recently been liking "For You" more than "Following", but I look at both

The chrome extension one of you mentioned way back still works well for me, totally locked down, only what I want to see, etc. I don't use the app or check twitter on my phone.
― Goose Bigelow, Fowl Gigolo (the table is the table), Sunday, 22 January 2023 03:06 (one year ago) link
checked account this morning. "Following" has no posts in four days. "Home" has multiple posts from yesterday from people that i follow... can't both be true. (Facebook is the same). just give me reverse chronological!

i din't know there was a facebook extension-- as someone who feels forced there for family purposes, will check thx

I come and go with actual twitter but even during periods where I wasn’t reading it, I follow a handful of people via my rss reader feedbin. Easy way to jay get a couple of accounts you want to read and not go there.

it's just one climate dude's experience, but i've been following him for several years (he posts a lot of climate change visualizations with regular updates) and he's not one to complain much about climate deniers
This is a pretty unassuming climate tweet, but look at the replies… This website has become such a mess. https://t.co/YCfxjuSYqm— Zack Labe (@ZLabe) January 22, 2023

Not sure I've ever seen any video/forum post/article/etc. on climate change (outside of Gawker comments and ILX, though maybe we had a denier or two at some point) that didn't have a wide variety of assholes in the comments and replies.

i think the point of his tweet is that it has gotten notably worse on twitter, at least for him
― Karl Malone, Sunday, 22 January 2023 23:29 (one year ago) link
My guess is that the continual push to "For You" is an attempt to hide the total lack of activity compared to your usual feed; predicting "tumbleweeds" will trend soon.
― assert (matttkkkk), Sunday, 22 January 2023 23:41 (one year ago) link
Now it is automatically starting in For You every time I open the app. WTF!?!

yep, that change landed about a week back. not clear if it's deliberate or them shipping a bug. musk claims it's going to be reverted, but he also claims he's going to solve traffic with used sewer drills.

are some of you guys really confusing “reporter follows stupid account to see what stupid shit they tweet” with “reporter believes stupid account is good”
― mh, Monday, 23 January 2023 15:25 (one year ago) link
Yes I am. You follow these fuckers, you give them oxygen. You can see what they tweet without following them.
― Tsar Bombadil (James Morrison), Monday, 23 January 2023 20:44 (one year ago) link
If you're a tech or crypto/finance reporter, following the scum is part of your job, no?

does this extend to reporters showing up to cover political events? they're bumping up the number of audience members!

article about esther crawford - not really much here i think, other than that she comes from a family of christian cultists, which totally makes sense
I grew up in a cult. We had lots of rules (can’t cut hair, no makeup, no pants, no tv, no secular music, etc) and hierarchical leadership. We believed it was the “end times” so I lived in fear of doing anything wrong & being left behind. I exited on my own when I was 19. https://t.co/t6u7VlJE0T pic.twitter.com/0EzfqBICbA— Esther Crawford ✨ (@esthercrawford) April 16, 2022

Her ideas have not always been welcomed. Crawford was among the proponents for Twitter’s controversial and now-halted plan to introduce a feature that would allow users to offer videos of adult content behind a paywall similar to that posted on subscriptions site OnlyFans, according to two people familiar with the matter.
