If you recall twitter in 07/08 we had the same thing. It was just the “SxSWesties” on twitter. They wanted “more users” then complained when the “non tech” people jumped on. 1. It was the minority complaining but being loud about it, and 2. It worked itself out. The solution is more tools, not less peeps.

How cool. What is the most well-known book you’ve narrated?

Agree with this. Hashtags in theory are great, but as Warpcast and other platforms grow people just abuse them for spam and they become nearly useless. +1 for channels, much easier to manage.

Relax. Slow down. Enjoy friends, family, and life. I’ve spent the majority of my life (52) at the speed of light, and I’ve missed a lot of super cool moments I wish I hadn’t in the pursuit of “being early on the next thing.” There are no do-overs, so don’t get to the end of the road and regret the journey.

100% needed @dwr.eth. The ability filter on twtr is something it’s been missing all along. A “take a break” feature would be really nice addition to that idea.

I think it should default back to the list of people or some other screen that makes you proactively choose a person to message.

How much status it did confer. Past tense. When I saw a verified mark I knew there was a substantial reason. Now I’ll know it’s because they paid $20. The differentiator is now gone.

It can be done, but they’ve made it far more difficult than it was in the past. I’m sure 3rd party apps exist, but I’d write a script to scrape using DOM. You’d have to RAND pause between scrapes and use various IPs.

Twitter to start charging $20/month to get, or keep, your blue check mark. https://www.theverge.com/2022/10/30/23431931/twitter-paid-verification-elon-musk-blue-monthly-subscription

Felt this in my soul. From my first touch of a Kaypro II in 1982.
