Twitter

[Halo Infinity]

I really don't think there was ever a Twitter thread before, and I've often wondered if most of ETS preferred Twitter over Facebook. I've given it a try several times before, and I like how I can follow famous people on Twitter, along with my favorite brands and franchises when it comes to food, drinks, clothing, etc. (As well as all the other things I can also follow on Facebook.)

[Halo Infinity]

For anybody that is on ETS and Twitter, but still didn't follow ETS yet, this is the ETS account on Twitter. I also thought I'd post The NIN Hotline's Twitter account as well.

I also don't tweet much as I use it more as a news/comedy source. I'll retweet here and there and maybe tweet here and there.

[bruised]

Twitter rules, I'm 3digitwiz on it. You'll never get the time back you spend reading my bullshit.

[scotty79]

scotty_s79 for me, dont tweet much apart from random guff here and there

I tweet quite a bit, but mostly regarding music videos and wrestling.

[aggroculture]

I signed up for Twitter a while back, and almost never have used it.
Every time I am herded to some Twitter conversation the whole thing looks like an unreadable mess.
Also, no-one, not one person has ever been able to give me a sensible answer to the question "who will see my tweets?": in my feed I get tweets from people I follow, but also a bunch of random stuff from people I don't follow.
So: where will my tweet end up? I'd like to know this before posting.

[october_midnight]

I'm on Twitter about ten times the amount I'm on Facebook..it's cleaner, and from an article I read...Facebook is bleeding subscribers under the age of 25 to it (which is probably why they implemented hashtags and now even 'trending topics' in a blatant ripoff).

As for where your tweet ends up...

1. If you just say something or mention a topic, anyone can see it (unless you set your account to 'private' meaning only your followers)...if blocked, then only they can see them, period. Twitter has a search function at the top so if you mention something about, let's say...a famous person...and I search for it...somewhere in the searches I'll see yours. Keep in mind, it's probably among THOUSANDS of others if it's a hot topic, etc.

2. If you start your tweet with a handle, i.e. "@octobermidnight I think you're swell" Then I'll see it of course since I was mentioned...but your followers...it won't show up on their timeline (since the idea is you were talking TO ME). Again, keep in mind...unless you're set to private, if someone say...searched for 'octobermidnight' or something else in your tweet...it's out there to see, but who's gonna search up my handle kinda thing. Probably nobody. If you said '@octobermidnight Have you seen the new Batman movie?' and someone searches Batman...well that'll show up and obviously more a chance someone would find it in a search...but again...if I search 'Batman' I'm gonna get a billion search results from people everywhere...nothing out of the ordinary or worth reading.

3. Follow up to the last point, let's say we BOTH follow the same person...Trent Reznor. If you tweet '@trent_reznor I enjoy your ass.' and I follow the person as well, then it WILL show up in my timeline as well...since we both follow the same person. So if I tweet to someone you follow as well, you see it (because if you followed me, you'd see it...and you follow the 3rd person...so again you see it.) If I tweet to my friend, even though you may follow me, again you wouldn't...unless you followed my friend as well. If that makes sense.

4. The workaround is to put a period before the @ symbol. Then everyone sees it...it makes it like my first point...a basic tweet, searchable by anyone, seen by all your followers, regardless of whether or not they follow the same person. So, let's say again you follow me. I tweet to someone you don't follow? You won't see it. '@cooldude I don't like your shoes, sorry.' You don't follow @cooldude, so you won't see it. If I put the period though.. '.@cooldude I don't like your shoes, sorry.' Then all my followers WOULD see it.

Kinda confusing I know, but it makes sense after you use it for a while. There's also 'promoted tweets'...meaning like ads, people can pay to have their shit seen by people that don't even follow them. Bullshit I know, but think of it like this. The more followers you have OR the more people that can see your tweets, the bigger audience you have. Usually they have links in them to go to some website for more traffic...that's why people pay for it. Simple enough. As for privacy if you're concerned...like I said, you can set your acct to private so the only people that see your tweets are those that you WANT to see them, period. And there's a direct messaging system too which is obviously private...but you can only send messages back and forth to people that follow you.

[thelastdisciple]

I'm always tweetering and twattering.

Sometimes i tweet for others, sometimes i twat for myself.

http://twitter.com/thelastdisciple

I follow all kinds of actors, comedians, musicians/artists, local news, international news, media blogs, oh and porn stars.

[october_midnight]

That's the best thing to do...like Facebook, my Twitter feed consists almost solely of accounts associated with bands, movies, shows, video games, companies, sports teams, celebrities, etc. Very few just plain people...kinda like my FB (which I probably check once a day if not twice), family, friends, but other than that...no actual people in my feed (still friends, just made it so they only appear in the ticker on the right).

[nemesiswontdie]

I follow all kinds of actors, comedians, musicians/artists, local news, international news, media blogs, oh and porn stars.

I'm glad I'm not the only one.

I just hate the new Twitter update on mobile because now I can't look at my Twitter in public since pictures show up on my feed.

[thelastdisciple]

3. Follow up to the last point, let's say we BOTH follow the same person...Trent Reznor. If you tweet '@trent_reznor I enjoy your ass.' and I follow the person as well, then it WILL show up in my timeline as well...since we both follow the same person. So if I tweet to someone you follow as well, you see it (because if you followed me, you'd see it...and you follow the 3rd person...so again you see it.) If I tweet to my friend, even though you may follow me, again you wouldn't...unless you followed my friend as well. If that makes sense.

Haha what i love about this which falls within the same mechanic is when you follow 5 celebrities or what have you and they all seem to follow each other and all of a sudden you see them having a party in your twitter feed, so much hilarity can ensue.

[liquidcalm]

I love twitter, its a far more 'social' network where you can actually make friends, rather than just stay in touch with existing ones. I like to follow a mix of peers, interesting people who share similar tastes, interesting people who don't, comedians etc.. It's nice.

I babble and tweet from here: alone_music

[skullboy0]

I'm glad I'm not the only one.

I just hate the new Twitter update on mobile because now I can't look at my Twitter in public since pictures show up on my feed.

I could only find it on the web, but if you go to settings & uncheck "Do not inform me before showing media that may be sensitive" you'll have to click View on anything that the sender has marked as sensitive.

Not that I follow anybody who would be tweeting out pictures that I wouldn't want automatically shown on my screen at work...

I forgot to put up botley's Twitter account, and should've, especially for what he said here (http://www.echoingthesound.org/community/threads/2207-cant-put-ETS-down-Support-Group?p=126097#post126097).

So how about that new nav bar?

They also brought header pics in to the user module next to your feed, enlarged the text in certain spots, tweet composition field looks a little different too.

Only thing i don't like is they put the Retweet distinguishment in the feed on top of tweets instead of at the bottom.

[Halo Infinity]

It still occurred to me that if Twitter allowed a lot more characters, it would probably be the closest thing to a social media site that's sort of like a general forum altogether. It's always reminded me of forums that use conversation threading.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversation_threading

I've also been on and off Twitter, but I still lurk on it for the most part. As for some of the slight changes, I suppose I'm getting used to them, but I sometimes miss the way it was last year.

[Halo Infinity]

I was just wondering if most of you prefer to protect your tweets or not. It seems like most people prefer not to, and I just wanted to see what others would have to say about that. As for me, I think I'll actually leave them unprotected this time around, even if I still happen to lurk on Twitter most of the time.

[bruised]

I think it's stupid to have them protected, if you just want to have convos with your personal friends, just text them. Unless you want to be hidden from embarrassment, or don't want people to know who you really are (which is weird). I tweet all the time, literally the dumbest, random shit you would ever read, and I have a blast. Having said that, I don't have anything personal linked to my twitter, so I am basically anonymous. But I think it's weird to have it be the other way around. Follow me @ 3digitwiz, but you'll never get the time back you waste reading my lame posts :)

[raptors661]

The only time I 'protect' my tweets is when I'm on the job hunt.

[thelastdisciple]

I'd never protect my tweets... it messes with most of the interactable social nature of the site because then you can't participate in hashtags, can't be retweeted and i don't think you can be favorited either. Also I'm not sure but i don't think people like celebrities can reply to your sent tweets if they're not following you either? or they wouldn't be able to see them anyways i dunno. Just recently I've had Danny Trejo respond to me, Olga Kurylenko favorited a tweet, Hugh Dillon (from Flashpoint, The Killing, Continuum) rt'd and favorited something from me. Bex Taylor-Klaus (Sin from Arrow) always favorites my stuff.

Yet lock your profile down and none of that cool stuff will happen. What's the point?

I kept thinking about it, and I finally made an ETS counterpart for Twitter. I'll mostly lurk though, as I've already figured that I've talked more than enough on ETS. And well, I just thought I'd use it to follow other ETS members off ETS, and just for fun in general.

Took a break from Twitter for a few days. I deactivated my account. I kept the app on my phone though. It was scary how I would instinctively open the app.

I made a new account today. But my god, Twitter is terrible. You really notice how bad it is after a break. It is toxic.

[WorzelG]

I reported an account that was just out and out racist on December 3rd, well I reported 4 tweets, it doesn’t do anything else except be racist and has no engagement and it’s still there, what’s the point of reporting? I just decided I’d had enough and would report rather than ignore. I feel like what else can you do?

They’re REALLY slow because they’re overwhelmed. Did you report it as hateful conduct or whatever?

I deactivated my account and deleted the app. Social media etc. is wasting too much of my time.

They get so many reports that it takes a long time for them to do anything about it. Ilan Rubin had his account hacked by scammers over the weekend who used it to scam people out of thousands of dollars, and it still took almost two days for him to get the scammers shut down and get his account back, and the only reason he managed that was because he was able to use his celebrity status to get word to some people that could actually help, and even with that as I said, it was slow.

[thelastdisciple]

Speaking of scammers, fuuuuuuck me. This is the same group that took over Ilan's account i think.

I don't really do much with Twitter, tbh. I just look to see what's trending, it's how I get my news since I don't watch the news or anything like that. Too much for my mental sanity to take in. I know social media can be a bad place, but it has done some really good things, not just for me.

[allegro]

It IS good for pretty much INSTANT news.

I’ve found out about major news events via Twitter before it was “out” anywhere else. My Twitter news feed is about the only thing I miss about Twitter (and the only reason I’ve gone back to Twitter after quitting … about 15 times since its inception).


Also: Everyone on Twitter should use 2FA.

The problem is they’ve stopped people being able to do certain things (like see likes or followers or even tweets) without being logged in, I’m always asked by my husband to check what this or that rugby player is saying because he refuses to get a Twitter account. What is 2FA?

Yeah, you've always had to have a Twitter account to do that. So, you have to be logged in to do that.

2FA is "Two Factor Authorization." Which - really - you should use for EVERYTHING these days.

Twitter has finally "gone commercial" meaning it's finally with ads, so the way you can do away with ads is to subscribe and that's the way you can finally get the long-desired THE EDIT BUTTON.

[MrLobster]

Twitter has finally "gone commercial" meaning it's finally with ads, so the way you can do away with ads is to subscribe and that's the way you can finally get the long-desired THE EDIT BUTTON.

Nearly every account that I see ads fro, I block on principle. The only exceptions are for things like the local government and local independent news...

But I also rarely log in to the site itself or use the app too much... I read most of my Twitter via Tweetbot on my desktop and I see no ads ever with it.

I honestly have no idea wtf Elon Musk was thinking here. He probably didn't do it because he saw it as a worthwhile, profitable enterprise. He should have stuck to rockets, promises to send the elite to Mars, and cars that he takes credit for designing when really he just bought it with his inherited emerald mine fortune.

[allegate]

at this rate I hope he is responsible for getting the billionaires to Mars, could be useful.

I thought he'd told everyone they HAD to go into the office a few days ago??? I actually think someone may be onto something when they said Elon Musk has actually been paid by 'people' or shady organisations / countries to shut Twitter down. No idea why though.

The blue tick thing is a nightmare though, so many people have got them you can't tell who's verified anymore

The shady organisation / country is the United States of America and its centuries-long program of rewarding mediocre men with billions for repeatedly fucking things up over and over and over and over. No unseen, conspiratorial, Shady Cabal™ explanation necessary. That is how the system works and has always worked. It's working.

They would have had to pay him more than $44 billion to do it, since that's what he paid for Twitter. If you actually think someone would have actually paid more than $44 billion just to shut twitter down you're insane.

Musk is not some rich genius. He inherited his money and made some lucky investments which made him famous and he tricked the public into believing he came up with the idea.

Plus, if he were actually doing this intentionally, he’d likely be going to prison for a long time. Defrauding investors and whatnot.

I feel so sorry for those who don't get this.

Musk strike me as an impulsive buyer. He wants, he gets; without thinking about the consequences. Twitter is his brand new toy and he will play with it however he wants. Problem is this toy has many, many moving parts that won't collaborate.

[allegro]

I linked this substack article above but it kinda got buried so I’ll post it, again. It’s by journalist Noah Berlatsky.

He says a lot of what I and a lot of others have been saying all along about about Elon Musk; Noah sums it up beautifully:

https://aaronrupar.substack.com/p/elon-musk-destroying-twitter-why?utm_source=direct&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

Some of the article:


Spite over everything

Musk purchased Twitter in large part because he wanted to be in a position to harm many of its core users — journalists, liberals, Democrats, trans people, and other marginalized communities. Twitter is a flawed but nonetheless invaluable place where these groups have come together to talk, to strategize, to fundraise, to organize, and to hold the powerful accountable.

Musk is a billionaire transphobe who’s been convicted of union-busting and has been sued for racially segregating his factory floor. He’s also pathologically online. (He met his ex-partner, the musician Grimes, on Twitter.) Now that he owns Twitter, it’s also his chance to own the libs who have criticized and dared to mock him. He’s in a position to break their communities and drive them from online spaces where they’ve built networks and formed friendships.

Musk doesn’t want to destroy Twitter in the sense of rendering it a smoking ruin with a URL that leads to the abyss. But he does want to destroy Twitter to spite his enemies. Loosely defined, that means he wants to destroy it for everyone who questions the righteousness of a world ruled by white male billionaire tech bros.

There are numerous examples of how Musk’s Twitter fiasco is linked to his right, and far right, ideological commitments. Musk made his first moves towards acquiring control over Twitter in April, motivated in part by Twitter’s content moderation. In particular, he was angered by its decision to ban former President Donald Trump after he used the platform in organizing his violent coup attempt.

Musk has also been obsessed with revamping Twitter’s verification system — explicitly in the name of punishing and disciplining those with verified checkmarks.

Right-wing Twitter trolls have long used “blue checkmarks” as an insult to suggest that journalists, and especially left-wing journalists, are part of an out-of-touch, elite hive mind which wields unearned and unchecked (as it were) power. This confused analysis culminated in a evidence-free conspiracy theory that people were buying blue check marks for $20,000. (See this irate user making that claim, for example.)

https://twitter.com/DominikSNews/status/1589168294103130112?s=20&t=VjIMFRyap9RXqZREBUPY1w
Musk has bought into this framing. One of his first acts as owner was to promise to do away with the checkmark verification system in order to bring “power to the people”— that is, to the right-wing trolls who Musk sees as his friends and as the populist volk. Musk said that his Twitter Blue service would sell the verification badge for $8/month, and that he would remove “corrupt” legacy blue checks.

Musk’s treatment of Twitter employees is also ideologically motivated. Again, the right has long been enraged at Twitter for its (halting, inadequate, but still) efforts to moderate hate speech on the site. Even Twitter’s former billionaire CEO Jack Dorsey — who, like most billionaires, isn’t a fan of the left — accused his own workers of being too liberal.

Dorsey, though, was circumspect about trying to appear neutral even as Twitter’s algorithm was designed to boost right-wing politicians and content. Musk is more ignorant, more rabid, and significantly higher on his own supply. He’s always treated his employees at his other companies with contempt and suspicion; Tesla, for example, fired employees for staying home to avoid Covid even after assuring them it would not.

Musk’s animosity towards Twitter workers is even more egregious; before acquiring the company he said — like many a far right Twitter troll — that Twitter employees were lazy leftists who needed to be culled. The massive layoffs, then, weren’t just a cost-cutting measure; they were a punishment. So is Musk’s arbitrary, unmanageable, sweeping revocation of Twitter’s work-from-anywhere policy, forcing employees to spend 40 hours onsite a week, even though many of them live nowhere near an office.

[botley]

$44 billion is not a tax write off. Even for him. And again, if he’s tanking twitter intentionally, he’s going to prison. A lot of that $44 billion was from investors. This would be a clear case of defrauding investors.
I agree but it is a very convenient money pit for him to say "well, we tried an aggressive strategy" and spread out the inevitable losses over several years against his other income. It happens to very closely align with his interests in other areas too.

People forget that a lot of Tesla was built on an Obama-era government backed loan of around $500 million.

Exactly. He never uses his own money. Twitter wasn’t even WORTH a fraction of $44 billion, so who the hell were these IDIOT investors? Were they really investing in Twitter? Or were they investing in Truth Social, and this was a catch and kill?

Yeah, that's what he wants you to think. Google Elon Musk Emerald for how he got his start.

Yesterday, Musk gave the remaining employees an ultimatum that they all had to decide if they were going to leave or stay; hundreds of them quit late last night; most of them were in important tech positions necessary to keep Twitter running. Total shit show.

https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2022/11/17/tech/twitter-employees-ultimatum-deadline/index.html

People were up late last night believing it was Twitter’s last night.

Musk reinstates Trump's suspended Twitter account following poll (https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/trump-twitter-account-reinstated-1.6658026)

It is not clear whether Trump would actually return to Twitter. An irrepressible tweeter before he was banned, Trump has said in the past that he would not rejoin Twitter even if his account was reinstated. He has been relying on his own, much smaller social media site, Truth Social, which he launched after being blocked from Twitter. yeah I wouldn’t believe trump if he said the sky was blue.
