dr_rat posted:Everyone having cameras now days and filming cops being cops and uploading it to social media has been one legit good thing that's come from social media. Isn’t the majority of this good coming from the preponderance of cameras rather than the social media itself? Citizen footage of police brutality + a decent press would lead to greater skepticism of cops and horror at their brutality, and without social media you wouldn’t have the amplification of “but we’re missing context” or “blue lives matter” to materially offset that public good.

Yeah but the "+ decent press" is getting to be a bit of a problem now days. Although social media did seem to have a pretty bad impact on the press. Did help citizen journalism though, and been very good at getting voices heard from protests and people living in dictatorships and what not. Like not disagreeing social media has mostly been bad, but it's still has had some positive benefits.

Shroud posted:A dumb (but serious) question - what are people talking about when they say something about ratios on Twitter? A post that gets way more replies than "likes" usually means there's a lot of discussion going on but most people don't agree with whatever the tweet is about. So someone getting ratio'd means they posted some dumb bullshit and everyone's dragging them in the replies, usually.

Shroud posted:A dumb (but serious) question - what are people talking about when they say something about ratios on Twitter? "Getting ratioed" originally meant when you got a ton of replies but very few likes, implying everyone replying to you was yelling at you about what a loving idiot you are. Now "ratioing" people means replying to them or quote tweeting them calling them an idiot and getting way more likes and RTs than their original tweet.

Shroud posted:A dumb (but serious) question - what are people talking about when they say something about ratios on Twitter? The ratio of likes and retweets (supportive) to replies and quote-tweets (unsupportive). If you got a lot more of the latter than the former then that just means everyone's dunking on you and you got ratio'd.

Shroud posted:A dumb (but serious) question - what are people talking about when they say something about ratios on Twitter? If more people are replying -normally calling them an idiot- vs liking the tweet. so this tweet had 27 likes vs 780 people calling him an idiot.

Traditionally the ratio is likes to replies, where more replies implies you're getting yelled at more than people are liking your tweet. There is also a new kind of ratio, only possible due to Elon changing things: How many views your tweet got to how many likes it got. This one is interesting because people don't need to reply to ratio you; you ratio yourself by having a dog poo poo take that people just scroll past.

Ratioing is basically a crime against humanity. All those poor idiots guilty of nothing but being tricked into buying something worthless by a colony of naked mole rats dressed up as a snake-oil salesman.

It's very funny (as some people have aptly noted itt) that the bluechecks have managed to convince themselves that Twitter is a service like cable TV that is worth them paying for, even if they perhaps on some level all used to understand that the whole reason it was free was because they were the product and their purpose was to be advertised to. They think they're consuming valuable content from other rando bluechecks, as though the thoughts of rando bluechecks was what people joined the site for. Nobody ever wanted to follow some nobody they didn't know. They signed up to either a) post their own toilet thoughts into the void because it's fun and a weird semi-exhibitionist rush, or b) follow celebrities because celebrities' toilet thoughts are fun. And the only reason why Twitter ever made money was advertisers being able to leverage those whale accounts with millions of followers so they could do targeted advertising, with real metrics showing they were getting value for their money and not just spamming everyone with the same ads. They've all got such an inflated sense of what they themselves bring to Twitter as a platform because they've bought what they think is "celebrity" status for $8, but all the air's just going to come farting out of that balloon with a giant THTHTPBTPPBPTBTBPTBTTTT sound

From 10 pages back, but I would confidently say the difference between Peter Thiel and Elon Musk is that Thiel is actually highly intelligent. Musk is not.

Thanks, everyone. I had a Twitter account in the early days, but only ever used it for those mobile games that gave you extra energy/gems/etc. for tweeting something about the game. I never really used it seriously, though. I deleted it once the Boer bitch and his apartheid army took over. Getting a lot of hearty chuckles from from watching everything crash & burn.

He's a grotesque loudmouthed cretin just like me, and also incredibly successful by any measure and routinely outmaneuvers all the annoying Yalie aristocrats in absurd Bugs Bunny fashion Musk started out as about the same thing but for the dregs of the Reddit comment thread, but I can't imagine what his fans get out of watching him repeatedly gently caress up everything he touches and then gurn at the cameras about what a wonderful learning opportunity that was A Wizard of Goatse fucked around with this message at 16:25 on May 2, 2023 |

Cable Guy posted:Tweets from blocked twits will still show up for you if they're embedded, say in this thread. I don't think thats a new post-elon thing. It's been that way for a while. They should be blocked for you if you visit the twitter url or use the app. Yeah that's a bit of a conceptual problem with blocking stuff for anonymous users; because it relies on knowing who YOU are who has blocked the person, it implies either assuming that everybody is always logged in at all times (lol), or that blockable content can never be shown to anybody unless they're logged in and have NOT blocked it. Same as with "hidden" content, which cannot be shown to unauthenticated users because then someone could get around your "hiding" your content just by logging out.
