stan = people or things you idolize
ratio = a comparison of your following & follower counts

Not to be pedantic, but for clarification, "stan" basically means "stand up for" as a verb, but as a noun the stan it's the idolizer.
Also, ratio is usually used with a negative connotation because posts with a lot of comments usually means the post is poorly received, so people are "ratioing" it.

No, it's from the Eminem song about his fictional stalker who is named Stan. The song is also named Stan

Makes sense, I think we should do this with more names

Can we add a feature to the forums where the grenade next to your name can be changed to a blue checkmark for $20? This is a market just waiting to be tapped.

This was the year I finally decided to finally figure out twitter, because I just don't get it. Do I just comment on random people's posts? Do I insult celebrities or do I argue with the people commenting on their posts??

Now I'll never be twitter famous.

Twitter is a world of cliques, and you would comment on high-profile peoples' posts with jokes, ideally, until you pick up some of their followers.

This is the only thing I found about Chrome disabling ad-block
https://hypebeast.com/2022/10/google-chrome-manifest-v3-extension-platform-breaks-ad-block-info

"Ad-blockers now utilize Google Chrome’s “webRequest” API to block HTTP requests through the current Manifest V2 extension but the Manifest V3 extension “declarativeNetRequest” utilizes a blocklist of specific URLs. The only problem is the blocklist is limited to just 30,000 URLs, instead of the usual lists of over 300,000 sites."

Seems like a soft-limit, people will always find a way around ads, I dont think it's possible to disable ad-blocking in a PC environment because you can block URLs in the OS.

Thinking about finally deactivating mine, too. It just sucks because Twitter was great for following cool artists that didn't also have a Tumblr and being able to see when they updated their shops so I could buy more sweet, sweet enamel pins

You can keep your twitter and absolutely literally nothing will change at all, I promise Elon won’t even notice. So feel free to use it to keep tabs on people since that’s what it’s there for
