twitter allows you to post pics of your rear end cheeks/rear end hole/taint/balls/dick head/dick shaft and as such i think this thread should be a Safe Zone for this kind of Content to facilitate acclimatization

1) Choose a fandom you are in. Make sure to only choose one fandom; you don't want to be not loyal. Some popular Twitter fandoms consist of popular musicians, YouTubers, TV shows, or celebrities that are well-known and liked by young teenagers.

2) Create a clever username. Make a clever username that will make people want to follow and interact with you. Try to keep numbers and underscores out of your username and try not to use capital letters as it makes your account looks gross. Make sure the username corresponds to your fandom. Some clever usernames can include pretty & meaningful words along with your idol's first name, last name or initials.

3) Write a clever bio. Making your bio appealing will draw in followers. You may think putting all kinds of fancy fonts in your bio will make it look cooler, but it will just make your bio look messy and unprofessional. Avoid fonts at all costs. Go with something simple; an inspirational quote or song lyric is best but don't make your bio too long.

4) Create a matching layout. Make sure your Twitter header and icon match. There are many apps that you can use to create matching layouts like Superimpose & PicsArt for common pixel/8bit layouts. But, if you are not very good at matching layouts, go with a simple single shade of black and white or sepia for both.

5) Tweet in moderation. Don't be inactive, but don't tweet every 2 seconds. Your followers don't want their timelines full of only your tweets. Unless your favorite celebrity is doing a follow or tweet spree, you should only be tweeting up to 50-200 times a day. That may seem like a lot, but when you're really into Twitter, it will get hard to keep within this limit.

6) Interact with your followers. Remember, followers don't matter if they never talk to you. If you have over 10,000 followers, you should at least get anywhere from 10-100 favorites and/or 1-11 retweets minimum on most of your tweets. You do not need to interact with all of your followers, but become good friends with at least a few of them by having close mutuals (people who you follow and they follow you back) and/or being in lots of group chats.

7) Get to know the language and abbreviations commonly used on Twitter.

stan = people or things you idolize
user = username
mutuals = people that you follow and they follow you back
layout = header and icon
ratio = a comparison of your following & follower counts
threads = a collection of tweets you keep as usually your pinned tweet so you can keep your account organized
unf = unfollow
indirect = when someone mentions you without directly @ing you, usually just by saying the person's name
rt = retweet
fav= favorite
timeline= Twitter feed
tl = timeline
dm = direct message.

Someone remind me why the destruction of Twitter is a bad thing?

apowe posted:

I was under the impression that ratio referred to a disproportionate number of likes versus retweets and comments, the implication being that if people are replying without also liking, they're presumably arguing against your tweet. It's obviously unreliable, but I think it's still the closest thing to an at-a-glace numerical metric for judging (dis)agreement with tweets.

Similarly, in the time since YouTube hid the dislike counts, I feel like I've seen people repurpose ratio to compare a video's views with its likes, which is even more flawed than the bespoke Twitter system because now the presumption is that everyone actually bothers voting on everything they view.
