id help but im blocked by lowtax on twitter - should probably flag his account instead have him banned for the mean harassment his website "something awful" promotes

White Phosphorus posted:

What is this check mark star bullshit? Is it another one of those (((jew))) things? I don't think Lowtax is Jewish.

basically it means the guy who runs twitter knows you and thinks your cool. its the ultimate imaginary corporate nonsense awards for being a clown

Verified filtering isn't a block list, or at least not a lovely one like the ones you can sign up for. I think it's done semi-manually by twitter staff. There are other verified features as well, I think. idk I don't even have twitter, I'm just repeating poo poo ive overheard while stalking various celebrities.

wow thats so cool you can have twitter staff decide who you interact with

thats so awesome to have a corporation reassure you that you are a famous celebrity

So it's like some kind of digital feudalism? Yet another thing that Lowtax pioneered with these very forums. He doesn't need twitter he has us on these very forums. You can check my post history and see all the quality content I have contributed just in the past few months!

why would lowtax care about twitter at all when he can start any old lovely thread in GBS and be told how great and funny he is.

how many retweets do you think "do you have stairs in your house?" is going to get these days

I just checked... I haven't posted on Twitter since August 20th of 2015.

And even then it was mostly about the Nickolaus Pacione poo poo that started here on SA.

@autoaim_cfg got 37 tweets spanning six years. Do people actually USE twitter for anything? I sure as hell don't use it.

What's the point of Twitter, unless you're some kind of b-list celeb?

trolling b-list celebs

Maybe lowtax should post on his forums instead of a place where they won't even give him a checkmark, he can even give himself a checkmark here

unlike twitter which has a trust and safety council, the mods here don't do gently caress about all the cyber bullying that goes on

It's funny there is a 10-step process for getting a blue checkmark next to your name but their plan for making money is:

1. More ads on Twitter
2. More ads outside of Twitter
3. Have users advertise for Twitter
4. Have users give Twitter money because they think their words are really important
5. International ?????

government grants to promote and enforce safe and tolerant speech

This has me thinking... Mark Zuckerberg isn't verified on Twitter either. I wonder if it's because Lowtax runs a competing platform?

could be because they are both famous (((webmasters)))
