Memes/Tweets (No politics)

I like to insult in person, I'm not going to tweet that at someone where I can't see their horrified outrage or feel the discomfort of the other people in the lift / gym / tube

As an author I have to have Twitter, but my relationship with it is quite love/hate. Sometimes I come across really clever jokes or pics or interesting industry articles, and online support from other authors around the globe is pretty strong. The downside is the mobs. Sometimes the mob does great work and outs a truly awful person. But more often than not, some dipshit gets the complete wrong end of the stick and starts a war that a whole lot of other dipshits join in on, they casually destroy some poor person, then move on without a backward glance. And that is sickening. Twitter is rubbish for addressing death/rape/GBH threats - I have seen tweets that literally say 'I'm going to come to your house and shoot you in the head' or 'die bitch you should be fucking gang raped' and Twitter's response to the complaint is 'does not meet our threshold for harassment'. The ability for people to be anonymous and unaccountable for their actions is a bad combination.

There is plenty that Twitter could do technically to reduce harassment and bot accounts, but their success is measured by growth in user numbers.
So they are happy with stalkers creating multiple accounts and the bot accounts that make up over half of famous people's inflated follower accounts.
Helps the stock price.
Their staff are awful people as well, let their bias dictact how they handle certain people. Lots deserve to lose their job.
Compare with Instagram handling their issue the other day, rolled out a new blocking tool in one day. One!

This. They choose not to do anything about it for the most part , fuck them.

Twitter is good for immediacy. I like how it filters shit down to 140 characters so you kind of have to get to the point (yes, sometimes I struggle).
It helps quick contact, where you want to link something. Its poor for delivering buckets of content. More of a linking engine for me.
The problem is, that's ALL it is. Where can it go? How can it grow? Adding GIFs was fun. OK. But the whole point was it basically solved the quick-contact thing straight away.
In the world of Web2.0-API-agile-rapid-change you don't get to deliver a product that says what it does and never changes. You need to change to get attention.
I don't see any point to Instagram, because I'm not a 20yo bikini model trying to build a brand, and am easily confused by photo filters.

Twitter is the only social media I follow because Farcebook and all its clones gives me the absolute screaming shits. I have zero interest in what someone's dump looks like
However a has been mentioned I use Twitter mainly as a filter.
It's a great way to lose half a day though as I did earlier this week on #amazingmaps. For that reason I actually seldom do twitter nowadays anyway as I have a magpie mind and its way too easy to get distracted.
Because I am circumspect in my engagement I have not seen the bullying etc

Her brother is the bloke who plays Reek/Theon from GOT so any mentioning of cutting would be quite awkward if he was around.

She belongs on GOT seeing as she has three nipples.

I thought strange looking dipshits thinking they were hilarious was just a "Seven Days" thing.....at least that show didn't appear to have a token enormous South African minga so we can be thankful for that.

@rocky-rockbottom That's one of Nick Mullen's accounts (his is suspended, like his Facebook account). He hosts the very funny Cum Town podcast.
He also did the "Nicole Mullen" articles on Thought Catalogue:
How To Get Fucked Like An Artist
I want to fill my pussy with bees. I want a thousand stingers pressed into my walls at the same time. I want to go into anaphylactic shock, and slip into a coma. I want the bees to set up camp in my swollen pussy. I want them to fill it with wax and cause alarm when some neighborhood kids are hospitalized after playing too close to it. I want the parents to petition city hall to do something about my problematic pussy. I want city hall to hire an exterminator. I want the exterminator to gas my pussy, and scoop out all the dead bees and honey. I want them to seal it off, and hide it from future children and future bees. I want stories of my bee pussy to become apocryphal legend. I want my pussy to be summer camp lore. Something the kids speak of before lights out, to scare each other.

Massive pumelling for twitter overnight.
They simply haven't done enough to reduce the amount of crap traffic that flows through. Look at the replies to any celebrity / politician - they are simply full of abuse / trolling - many are deciding that it simply isn't worth it.
It can be turned around, but twitter simply haven't done enough and this massive move is deserved.
-
@MajorRage yeah all of the replies to anyone famous are just fucking weird. Either there's a lot of complete crazies out there or a lot of bots. A bit of both no doubt.
If you follow the right people and stay away from that side of it then it can be pretty awesome I reckon. Plenty of really good accounts.
