Follow those you agree with and those you disagree with. You may find you have to spend less time with the “news” programs because you already have the info many hours earlier. You also will learn the views of the Democrats and the Republicans and their talking points on an issue long before it is stated on radio or TV. Nothing wrong with that but I find it interesting. It is as though the tweet world for some of these folks opens up their inner thoughts for the world to view. Frequently you learn a lot about people you have known for years but who frequently are quiet in groups and rarely express their opinions. Well, I believe you can learn a lot about the person tweeting by just following his or her tweets. Remember the old advice, by their words and actions you shall know them. But the tweet universe is easy to navigate and one can just receive tweets. And for some, following tweets is another demand on time. I actually bought my very first iPhone back in 2009 solely so that I could tweet on the go instead of at my desk.DJP Update 7-18-2010 Potpourri of tweets from DJPNEWS since July 12 comment re my philosophy of tweets LagniappeĭJP Comment: Everyone’s life is busy. I’m sad about the decline in Twitter, but what can you do. My account is still running at the mo but I’ve not used it for 2 months and spend my social media time solely on Mastodon now (technologically quite different but their community rules also foster an entirely different culture and it is much friendlier, like the early days of Twitter). anyone working in climate science, anyone working in healthcare during the pandemic, pretty much any journalism, and probably more sectors I haven’t noticed…). ![]() And if you work in a sector that’s been subject to trolling, you might as well delete the app right now because unless you have a private account (what’s the point) you’re going to get trolled (e.g. ![]() Plus good luck being visibly non-white or non-male - there’s plenty of data showing how their experiences of Twitter are even worse. Curating the heck out of it eliminates that.Įven if you navigate all of the above, assuming you do want to interact with people you will inevitably draw the rude behaviour of some numpty at some point. Using lists controlled some of the above, but as says, why should we have to curate lists? In addition, much of Twitter’s original value came from spontaneous interaction. Then there was the whole battle over actually having your content arranged chronologically, because otherwise your view was “popular tweets”, and as Twitter got worse that was inevitably the ones that had flame wars.Īnd since Musk took over, the app is now giving me daily alerts for recent tweets from people I don’t even follow, to the point that I had to disable notifications entirely because there’s no option to disable this useless feature (at that point I had notifications turned on so I didn’t miss if someone messaged me, since I was no longer using the app). Then it started throwing in random tweets “you might like”. Twitter introduced ads, so already your content wasn’t exactly as you’d curated. For example, I had switched to the native app several years ago (I forget why, but Twitter did something and I didn’t like what had happened to my third party app).
