BREAKING - Twitter has been sold to Elon Musk and will go private after agreeing to a deal worth $44 billion. pic.twitter.com/vEkGwXTDmt— Disclose.tv (@disclosetv) April 25, 2022
I was on Twitter for a month during the Floyd uprising when left Twitter was doing the whole "no comrade under 1k" thing. I got up to 1500 followers, I think. I ended up deleting my account because I, someone with no identifying information in my bio or any of my posts, was accused of "whitesplaining" because I told a black woman that Fred Hampton was very much a socialist. It was my ultimate:doomer: moment. Words mean nothing, history means nothing, they're just rewriting the lore to suit the neoliberal agenda.
A former employer once had me create a bunch of fake twitter accounts to give their posts more likes (I know, go ahead and tell me how much that sucks). For a while, every time I got banned I'd just transition one of those into a leftist shitposting account.
Similar thing happened to me. Some chud politician said he wanted to wipe off all Afghanis off the face of the earth after some US soldiers died in the evacuation of Kabul. I tweeted at him that I wish we could wipe him off the face of the earth instead and got a suspension for it. Apparently advocating for genocide is OK as long as you don't specify any individuals.
That's the one! There was also one with a smaller dong I'd use. And one with a Kermit puppet stretching out the hand hole so it looked like his asshole.
Marketing budgets being one of the most effective metrics for predicting the success of a product is one of the biggest condemnations of "the invisible hand of the free market" as a concept.
The only reason I have an account is to follow people. It would be cool if there were an app that let you subscribe to users without needing an account. A chronological feed would be much better than the shit Twitter gives you anyway.
I feel like there was a golden age of the internet, before modern social media platforms, when everything was just blogs and wordpress sites and bulletin boards and geocities and you subscribed to all of it with an RSS reader.
I don't know for sure, because I wasn't using the internet in that way before social media. And if it did exist I'm sure everything was as shitty as it is today vis-a-vis web discourse. I just suspect that letting a handful of corporations control the means of communication will fuck everything up even worse than it already is.
I think there’s a YouTube client that does exactly that. I wonder if you’d have to pull a feed for every followed account at once in order to construct the feed
Yeah, I imagine so, but sites like Nitter should already be caching shit to some degree, (in fact, I know it is because I looked into installing it on my VPS and it makes heavy use of Redis).
You can follow accounts with Nitter like that. Has to be saved as a bookmark or something. You go Nitter.net/dril,byyourlogic etc. and it'll show you a feed with their posts.

I fucking hate neoliberals' appropriation of antiracism, antisexism, gay rights, etc. with the boiling fury of ten thousand suns

I got banned for spamming pictures of Kermit the Frog with a massive dong at libertarians

I don't know what I expected

If you're not banned from Twitter you're not posting hard enough.
Thin blue line sonic 👍
Wow I'd never seen that one. Thank you!
I got banned for saying "kill all marketers". I'm very smug about it.

I don't understand the problem :lenin-confused:
As someone who works in marketing myself I can't disagree.

I’m surprised there isn’t an app for this
Like if Nitter could just store a list of accounts in a cookie, that's all I want.

Hold my beer I'm about to create the world's longest URL
Fritter on Android does this.
I'm a comrade under 1k :sadness:
